    A benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.
    —Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

    [They] hired a large house as a receptacle for gentlewomen, who either had no fortunes, or so little that it would not support them. For these they made the most comfortable institution [and] provided [them] with all conveniences for rural amusements, a library, musical instruments, and implements for various works.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
