Excerpt
The worst of persistency in following one’s own way in opposition to the advice of soberer and wiser persons is that there is usually a penalty to be paid for it afterwards; and the penalty that Evangela had to pay for that evening’s dissipation was one that she w~as destined to feel the weight of for many a long day. She was one of those people with an immense fund of pluck and endurance, who can hold out for a long time against physical pain, and she was inclined to consider real enjoyment well worth a little suffering; but the strain that she had undergone had been no trifling one, and, with all her fortitude, she hardly knew how to brace herself up to the effort that was necessary to hide her prostration on the day after the dance.
