The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Agnes Grey by Anne Bronte: beauties among them, were nothing to me. As for me, Miss Grey -
I'm so SORRY you didn't see me! I was CHARMING - wasn't I,
Matilda?'
'Middling.'
'No, but I really was - at least so mamma said - and Brown and
Williamson. Brown said she was sure no gentleman could set eyes on
me without falling in love that minute; and so I may be allowed to
be a little vain. I know you think me a shocking, conceited,
frivolous girl; but then, you know, I don't attribute it ALL to my
personal attractions: I give some praise to the hairdresser, and
some to my exquisitely lovely dress - you must see it to-morrow -
