This is the weapon of the cowardly and envious heart, so filled with venom and malice that it has the courage or brazenness to go about piously proclaiming the word duty. Beware of the woman who has ink-stains on her fingers and a duty to perform; beware of her also who never complains of the lack of time, but who is always harking on duty, duty.

Does a carriage stop across the way at two o'clock of a morning?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
