There are words which a man cannot resist from a woman, even though he knows them to be false.

Is He Popenjoy? (1878)

To be alone with the girl to whom he is not engaged, is a man's delight; — to be alone with the man to whom she is engaged is the woman's.

With many women I doubt whether there be any more effectual way of touching their hearts than ill-using them and then confessing it. If you wish to get the sweetest fragrance from the herb at your feet, tread on it and bruise it.

Miss Mackenzie (1865)
