"Through the whole piece you may observe such a similitude of manners in high and low life, that it is difficult to determine whether, in the fashionable vices, the fine gentleman imitate the gentleman of the road, or the gentleman of the road, the fine gentleman.

T’would have shown that the lower sort of people have their vices in a degree as well as the rich, and that they are punished for them."Kindle edition, location 3296.

"Consider, girl, you can't have the man and the money too. So make yourself as easy as you can, by getting all you can from him."
