R.M. Ballantyne Quotes

It Is Of No Use Mincing The Matter; Dr John Marsh, After Being Regarded By His Friends At Home As Hopelessly Unimpressible - In Short, An Absolute Woman-hater - Had Found His Fate On A Desolate Isle Of The Southern Seas, He Had Fallen - Nay, Let Us Be Just - Had Jumped Over Head And Ears In Love With Pauline Rigonda! Dr Marsh Was No Sentimental Die-away Noodle Who, Half-ashamed, Half-proud Of His Condition, Displays It To The Semi-contemptuous World. No; After Disbelieving For Many Years In The Power Of Woman To Subdue Him, He Suddenly And Manfully Gave In - Sprang Up High Into The Air, Spiritually, And So To Speak, Turning A Sharp Somersault, Went Headlong Down Deep Into The Flood, Without The Slightest Intention Of Ever Again Returning To The Surface.
