Errors look so very ugly in persons of small means -one feels they are taking quite a liberty in going astray whereas people of fortune may naturally indulge in a few delinquencies.
George Eliot
Image
The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence.
