Excerpt from Somerville Hall: Or Hints to Those Who Would Make Home Happy
To increase my disgust, other neighbors were expected, so that I was to see this heroine in full play, among her humble friends, and admiring satellites. Escape being impossible, I nerved myself for the occasion, and determined, as my last and only resource, to keep the whole length of the room between myself, and the object of my anticipated dislike.

Excerpt from Somerville Hall: Or Hints to Those Who Would Make Home Happy
There are a few things that strike us more, in retracing the course of our past lives, than the changes which have taken place in the situation of the families around us, and in the character and circumstances of the friends of our youth. We never see the effect of such changes so forcibly displayed, as when years of absence have repeatedly separated us from our own home circle; and it might sometimes furnish a subject for retrospection, of no idle or unprofitable nature, to inquire by what moral agency some families have been enabled to rise, while others have fallen in the scale of social influence and domestic comfort.
