"""Poor Dolly Murray!--I might live to see
""My hundredth year, but no such lass as she.
""Easy by nature, in her humour gay,
""She chose her comforts, ratafia and play:
""She loved the social game, the decent glass;
""And was a jovial, friendly, laughing lass;
""We sat not then at Whist demure and still,
""But pass'd the pleasant hours at gay Quadrille:
""Lame in her side, we placed her in her seat,
""Her hands were free, she cared not for her feet;
""As the game ended, came the glass around,
'(So was the loser cheer'd, the winner crown'd.)
""Mistress of secrets, both the young and old
""In her confided--not a tale she told;
""Love never made impression on her mind,
""She held him weak, and all his captives blind;
""She suffer'd no man her free soul to vex,
""Free from the weakness of her gentle sex;
""One with whom ours unmoved conversing sate,
""In cool discussion or in free debate.",2012-01-06 20:46:39 UTC,"""Love never made impression on her mind.""",2005-05-15 00:00:00 UTC,Letter XVI. Inhabitants of the Alms-House. Benbow,Ruling Passion ,,Impression,"","Searching ""mind"" and ""impression"" in HDIS (Poetry)",16141,6094
"And such was Fanny's dependance on his words, that for five minutes she thought they had done. Then, however, it all came on again, or something very like it, and nothing less than Lady Bertram's rousing thoroughly up, could really close such a conversation. Till that happened, they continued to talk of Miss Crawford alone, and how she had attached him, and how delightful nature had made her, and how excellent she would have been, had she fallen into good hands earlier. Fanny, now at liberty to speak openly, felt more than justified in adding to his knowledge of her real character, by some hint of what share his brother's state of health might be supposed to have in her wish for a complete reconciliation. This was not an agreeable intimation. Nature resisted it for a while. It would have been a vast deal pleasanter to have had her more disinterested in her attachment; but his vanity was not of a strength to fight long against reason. He submitted to believe, that Tom's illness had influenced her; only reserving for himself this consoling thought, that considering the many counteractions of opposing habits, she had certainly been more attached to him than could have been expected, and for his sake been more near doing right. Fanny thought exactly the same; and they were also quite agreed in their opinion of the lasting effect, the indelible impression, which such a disappointment must make on his mind. Time would undoubtedly abate somewhat of his sufferings, but still it was a sort of thing which he never could get entirely the better of; and as to his ever meeting with any other woman who could -- it was too impossible to be named but with indignation. Fanny's friendship was all that he had to cling to.

"[...] There was comfort also in Tom, who gradually regained his health, without regaining the thoughtlessness and selfishness of his previous habits. He was the better for ever for his illness. He had suffered, and he had learnt to think, two advantages that he had never known before; and the self-reproach arising from the deplorable event in Wimpole Street, to which he felt himself accessary by all the dangerous intimacy of his unjustifiable theatre, made an impression on his mind which, at the age of six-and-twenty, with no want of sense, or good companions, was durable in its happy effects. He became what he ought to be, useful to his father, steady and quiet, and not living merely for himself.
