Mrs. Oliphant Quotes
No 'Middlemarch' For Me," Said Miss Barbara, With A Wave Of Her Hand. "I Am Too Old For That. That Means I've Read It, My Dear - The Way An Experienced Reader Like Me Can Read A Thing - In The Air, In The Newspapers, In The Way Everybody Talks. No, That's Not Like Going Into A New Neighborhood - That Is Getting To The Secrets Of The Machinery, And Seeing How Everything, Come The Time, Will Run Down, Some To Ill And Harm, But All To Downfall, Commonplace, And Prosiness. I Have But Little Pleasure In That. And It's Pleasure I Want At My Time Of Life. I'm Too Old To Be Instructed. If I Have Not Learned My Lesson By This Time, The More Shame To Me, My Dear." "But, Miss Barbara, You Don't Want Only To Be Amused. Oh No: To Have Your Heart Touched, Sometimes Wrung Even - To Be So Sorry, So Anxious That You Would Like To Interfere - To Follow On And On To The Last Moment Through All Their Troubles, Still Hoping That Things Will Take A Good Turn."
