Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Introduction to the World, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint) QUOTES

1 " She is not, indeed, like most modern ladies, to be known in half an hour; her modest worth, and fearful excellence, require both time and encouragement to shew themselves. She does not, beautiful as she is, seize the soul by surprise, but, with more dangerous fascination, she steals it almost imperceptibly. "

― Frances Burney , Evelina, or the History of a Young Lady's Introduction to the World, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)
