"I could never be a heroine, as far as one knows of heroines from history. I'm capable of a great jerk, an effort, and then a relaxation—but steady every-day goodness is beyond me. I must be a moral kangaroo!"
― Cynthia Kirkpatrick,
Wives and Daughters, Elizabeth Gaskell, 1864
(miniseries adaptation was Rec. #354)
