1. I
wonder what they thought of me!
2. If
anyone had told me, then, that all this was a brilliant game, played
for the excitement of the moment . . . in the thoughtless love of
superiority, in a mere wasteful careless course of winning what
was worthless to him, and next minute thrown away . . . I wonder
in what manner of receiving it my indignation would have found a
vent!
3. “Ride
over all obstacles, and win the race!”
4. My
meaning simply is that whatever I have tried to do in life, I have
tried with all my heart to do well . . . I have always been thoroughly
in earnest.
5. “There
can be no disparity in marriage like unsuitability of mind and purpose.”
