"I didn't make up the mare, miss, before comin' out wid ye," he says, mildly, telling this lie without a blush. I see a wild civility, "I hate women with common sense. In plainer language it means no heart.".

It is rather out of the running these times, so probably will prove interesting; and at least there is a chance that one won't meet every town acquaintance round every corner. That's the worry of going abroad, and I'm heartily sick of the whole thing.".
