Mrs.Hauksbee and she hated each other fervently. They hated far too much to clash; but the things they said of each other were startling—not to say original. Mrs.Hauksbee was honest—honest as her own front-teeth—and, but for her love of mischief, would have been a woman's woman, There was no honesty about Mrs.Reiver; nothing but selfishness.

A Little Learning—Not Reprinted (Rudyard Kipling) 11 1887-02-14 plain 2016-08-12T23:20:52-04:00 1887-02-14 Short Story Medicine, Gender Inequality Rudyard Kipling Pluffles enjoyed many talks with Mrs.Hauksbee during the next few days. They were all to the same end, and they helped Pluffles in the path of Virtue. Then Mrs. Hauksbee rose to the occasion. She played her game alone, knowing what people would say of her; and she played it for the sake of a girl she had never seen. Pluffles' fiancee was to come out, under the chaperonage of an aunt, in October, to be married to Pluffles. Venus Annodomini (Rudyard Kipling) 2 plain 2018-08-20T18:04:31-04:00 1886-12-04 Short Story Rudyard Kipling At a moderate estimate there were about three and twenty sides to that lady's character. Some men say more. She began to talk to Pluffles after the manner of a mother, and as if there had been three hundred years, instead of fifteen, between them. She spoke with a sort of throaty quaver in her voice which had a soothing effect, though what she said was anything but soothing. She pointed out the exceeding folly, not to say meanness, of Pluffles' conduct, and the smallness of his views. Then he stammered something about "trusting to his own judgment as a man of the world;" and this paved the way for what she wanted to say next. It would have withered up Pluffles had it come from any other woman; but in the soft cooing style in which Mrs. Hauksbee put it, it only made him feel limp and repentant—as if he had been in some superior kind of church. Little by little, very softly and pleasantly, she began taking the conceit out of Pluffles, as you take the ribs out of an umbrella before re-covering it. She told him what she thought of him and his judgment and his knowledge of the world; and how his performances had made him ridiculous to other people; and how it was his intention to make love to herself if she gave him the chance. Then she said that marriage would be the making of him; and drew a pretty little picture—all rose and opal—of the Mrs. Pluffles of the future going through life relying on the "judgment" and "knowledge of the world" of a husband who had nothing to reproach himself with. How she reconciled these two statements she alone knew. But they did not strike Pluffles as conflicting.
