Other men, equally foolish, have regarded girls as playthings. I wish these men had tried to play with them. They would have found that they were playing with fire and brimstone.

Five stars purely for the fact that this was written by my first cousin 5x removed. I'm always determined to read anything written by a relative, no matter how many times it may make me raise my eyebrows. For something first published in 1909 it is a lot less disparaging of women than I thought it would be, but was still an interesting look at the ways men and women were conceived of at the time.
