DOUBTS AND DIFFICULTIES 'Cast me upon some naked shore, Where I may tracke Only the print of some sad wracke, If thou be there, though the seas roare, I shall no gentler calm implore.' HABINGTON.

[...] 'How different men were to women! Here was she disturbed and unhappy, because her instinct had made anything but a refusal impossible; while he, not many minutes after he had met with a rejection of what ought to have been the deepest, holiest proposal of his life, could speak as if briefs, success, and all its superficial consequences of a good house, clever and agreeable society, were the sole avowed objects of his desires.

   One of my favorite authors and a contemporary of Jane Austin and Charles Dickens. Great characters, imagery and stories.

   Some of them I've already read. Early this a.m. I was reading Witch Lois. Sounded like the actual tale at Salem. Made me cry. 3/31--finished A Dark Night's Work. It also made me cry.

   Taken a long time to finish as I have read it over some time; a Victorian author so at times the language is old fashioned but despite this her stories are good.
