Random Quote
"Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed."

Reader Ratings & Reviews
Eveline & Envy
A lot of efforts were spent in the psychotic dilemma while the ending is simply yet another dilemma, though an outspoken one. Her freedom should not be exploited by the envy of her family's duty; however, I suspect this is not the true reason why she chooses to stay. She wishes for love, which will subsidiary grant her freedom as well. She simply does not know herself thoroughly and it's Frank she doubts hence. Silly lass!
