Excerpt from Married, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale
I had no right to more attention that night than anyone else, and my sisters were taller and better looking than myself, saving only, I must say, that latent ambition to be some thing better and wiser, which I think belonged peculiarly to me and gave me a greater earnestness in dealing with things, and which as expressed, perhaps in my face, laid more hold of those with whom we had to do. But upon this occasion it was my birthday, and my dear father had long promised me a party on my birthday.
