Life, Charles Dickens

"Men's courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead", said Scrooge. "But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. Say it is thus with what you show me!"The Spirit was immovable as ever.

~ Charles Dickens ~in~ A Christmas Carol ~

She had gained a reputation for beauty, and (which is often another thing) was beautiful.
