Persuasion - Austen, Jane ยท 73 words
Nay, Sir Walter, cried Mrs Clay, this is being severe indeed. Have a little mercy on the poor men. We are not all born to be handsome. The sea is no beautifier, certainly; sailors do grow old betimes; I have observed it; they soon lose the look of youth. But then, is not it the same with many other professions, perhaps most other. Soldiers, in active service, are not at all better off.
