There is one miracle that women can always perform, and always it astonishes the man; it is this: to change from the recipient into the appellant. That is to say, When woman, usually regarded as the receiver, becomes the giver,--or rather the demander,--man's wonderment surpasses words. And let it be remembered that There is no re-crossing this Rubicon. * * * Mistrust a prolonged and obdurate resistance. Either you are out-classed, or you are out-experienced. And, besides, Surrender after prolonged resistance rarely is brought about by emotion. * * * A woman never really quite detests daring. This is why Much is a forgiving a daring man. So, too, Much is forgiven a pretty woman by the men. * * * If the beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water, the beginning of love is as when one kindleth a fire. |
