Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; Mbut when a beginning is made—when felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt—it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.”

“Vex not his ghost. O, let him pass; he hates him
That would upon the rack of this tough world
Stretch him out longer.”
