- Yes, well, others have detected more. It is celebrated. There’s even a book about Selborne Wood。
- Oh. A novel, perhaps?
- Novels? Being poor, insipid things, read by mere women, even, God forbid, written by mere women?
- I see, we are talking of your reading。
- As if the writing of women did not display the greatest powers of mind, knowledge of human nature, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour and the best-chosen language imaginable?

- It was ironic。

- And now I have to dig my own damn potatoes!
- Would you rather be a poor old maid? Ridiculous, despised, the butt of jokes? The legitimate sport of any village lout with a stone and an impudent tongue? Affection is desirable. Money is absolutely indispensable。

- Your what?
- I could live by my.。。
