    “Here lies I and my three daughters,
    Killed by drinking the Cheltenham waters.

    We’d not be lying in these vaults.”

    “In England, I was quite struck to see how forward the girls are made—a child of 10 years old, will chat and keep you company, while her parents are busy or out etc.—with the ease of a woman of 26. But then, how does this education go on?—Not at all: it absolutely stops short.”
