All true histories contain instruction though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity, that the dry, shriveled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut.

You may think it all very fine, Mr. Huntingdon, to amuse yourself with rousing my jealousy but take care you don't rouse my hate instead. And when you have once extinguished my love, you will find it no easy matter to kindle it again.
