Is there any sensation equal to that produced by the first lover
and the first proposal coming to a girl in a large family of girls?
It is delightfully sentimental, comical, complimentary,
affron-ting, rousing, tiresome-all in one. It is a herald of
lovers, proposals, and wonderful changes all round. It is the first
thrill of real life in its strong passions, grave vicissitudes, and
big joys and sorrows as they come in contact with idle fancies,
hearts that have been light, simple experiences which have hitherto
been carefully guarded from rude shocks. It does not signify much
whether the family of girls happen to be rich or poor, unless
indeed that early and sharp poverty causes a precocity which
deepens girls' characters betimes, and by making them sooner women,
robs them of a certain amount of the thoughtlessness, fearlessness,
and impractica-bility of girlhood. But girlhood, like many another
natural condition, dies hard; and its sweet, bright illusions, its
wisdom and its folly, survive tolerably severe pinches of
adversity.
