I have seen it, I have seen it! Those who have been starved in life, levy a sort of tax on the plenty of others, in the instinctive effort to replenish their own empty treasure-house. Only that is impossible. One can gain no riches in that fashion. One can only reduce one's victim to a beggary like one's own.

gpt
But have you real hope and real faith, in your heart of hearts? Tell me, Hadria.
human
Ah! I knew it. Women _don't_ really believe that the cloud will lift. If they really believed what they profess, they would prove it. They would not submit and resign themselves. Oh, why don't you shew what a woman can do, Hadria?

I believe that there are thousands and thousands of women whose lives have run on parallel lines with mine.
