George Eliot Quotes

When A Man Is Happy Enough To Win The Affections Of A Sweet Girl, Who Can Soothe His Cares With Crochet, And Respond To All His Most Cherished Ideas With Beaded Urn-rugs And Chair-covers In German Wool, He Has, At Least, A Guarantee Of Domestic Comfort, Whatever Trials May Await Him Out Of Doors. What A Resource It Is Under Fatigue And Irritation To Have Your Drawing-room Well Supplied With Small Mats, Which Would Always Be Ready If You Ever Wanted To Set Anything On Them ! And What Styptic For A Bleeding Heart Can Equal Copious Squares Of Crochet, Which Are Useful For Slipping Down The Moment You Touch Them ? How Our Fathers Managed Without Crochet Is The Wonder; But I Believe Some Small And Feeble Substitute Existed In Their Time Under The Name Of 'tatting'.
