Furthermore, I stipulate that if in the progress of our comedy she appear to act with an utter lack of reason or even common sense  as every woman worth the winning must do once or twice in a lifetime  that I be permitted to record the fact, to set it down in all its ugliness, nay, even to exaggerate it a little  all to the end that I may eventually exasperate you and goad you into crying out, "Come, come, you are not treating the girl with common justice!" FURTHERMORE I STIPULATE THAT IF IN THE PROGRESS OF OUR COMEDY SHE APPEARED TO ACT WITH AN UTTER LACK OF REASON OR EVEN COMMON SENSE AS EVERY WOMAN WORTH THE WINNING MUST DO ONCE OR TWICE IN A LIFETIME THAT I BE PERMITTED TO RECORD THE FACT TO SET IT DOWN IN ALL ITS UGLINESS NAY EVEN TO EXAGGERATE IT A LITTLE ALL TO THE END THAT I MAY EVENTUALLY EXASPERATE YOU AND GOAD YOU INTO CRYING OUT COME COME YOU ARE NOT TREATING THE GIRL WITH COMMON JUSTICE
tiny miracle of perfection; and this was noteworthy, for you will observe that Nature, who is an adept at eyes and hair and mouths, very rarely achieves a creditable nose. Item, she had a mouth; and if you are a Gradgrindian with a taste for hairsplitting, I cannot swear that it was a particularly small mouth. The lips were rather full than otherwise; one saw in them potentialities of heroic passion, and tenderness, and generosity, and, if you will, temper. No, her mouth was not in the least like the pink shoe-button of romance and sugared portraiture; it was manifestly designed less for simpering out of a gilt frame or the dribbling of stock phrases over three hundred pages than for gibes and laughter and cheery gossip and honest, unromantic eating, as well as another purpose, which, as a highly dangerous topic, I decline even to mention. There you have the best description of Margaret Hugonin that I am capable of giving you. No one realises its glaring inadequacy more acutely than I. NES ITEM HER NOSE WAS A TINY MIRACLE OF PERFECTION AND THIS WAS NOTEWORTHY FOR YOU WILL OBSERVE THAT NATURE WHO IS AN ADEPT AT EYES AND HAIRS AND MOUTHS VERY RARELY ACHIEVES A CREDITABLE NOSE ITEM SHE HAD A MOUTH AND IF YOU ARE A GRAD GRINDIAN WITH A TASTE FOR HAIR SPLITTING I CANNOT SWEAR THAT IT WAS A PARTICULARLY SMALL MOUTH THE LIPS WERE RATHER FULL THAN OTHERWISE ONE SAW IN THEM POTENTIALITIES OF HEROIC PASSION AND TENDERNESS AND GENEROSITY AND IF YOU WILL TEMPER NO HER MOUTH WAS NOT IN THE LEAST LIKE THE PINK SHOE BUTTON OF ROMANCE AND SUGARED PORTRAITURE IT WAS MANIFESTLY DESIGNED LESS FOR SIMPERING OUT OF A GILT FRAME OR THE DRIBBLING OF STALK PHRASES OVER THREE HUNDRED PAGES THAN FOR JIBES AND LAUGHTER AND CHEERY GOSSIP AND HONEST UNROMANTIC EATING AS WELL AS ANOTHER PURPOSE WHICH AS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS TOPIC I DECLINE EVEN TO MENTION THERE YOU HAVE THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF MARGARET HUGANA THAT I AM CAPABLE OF GIVING YOU NO ONE REALIZES ITS GLARING INADEQUACY MORE ACUTELY THAN I
