2 quotes

Secrets with girls, like loaded guns with boys,
Are never valued till they make a noise.

Tales of the Hall (1819)

Her air, her manners, all who saw admired;
Courteous though coy, and gentle, though retired:
The joy of youth and health her eyes display'd,
And ease of heart her every look convey'd.

The Parish Register (1807)
