The Duties of Women (1881)
Original: «The making of a true home is really our peculiar and inalienable right; a right which no man can take from us, for a man can no more make a home than a drone can make a hive. He can build a castle or a palace, but, poor creature! be he wise as Solomon and rich as Croesus, he cannot turn it into a home. No masculine mortal can do that. It is a woman, and only a woman; a woman all by herself if she likes, and without any man to help her, who can turn a house into a home».

Original: «My mistress soon grew very fond of me. I could discern clearly, even at that early age, the essential difference between people who are kind to dogs and people who really love them. My mistress loved me; I was quite sure of it and I should have been an ingrateful dog indeed had I not returned her affection. Besides, I must say, my mistress was a natural friend of dogs, fond of brisk walking, and even of a good romp and tickle on the rug on a wet day; liberal with respect to provisions, and accustomed to govern rather through sympathy than stern authority».

Original: «The time comes to every dog when it ceases to care for people merely for biscuits or bones, or even for caresses, and walks out of doors. When a dog really loves, it prefers the person who gives it nothing, and perhaps is too ill ever to take it out for exercise, to all the liberal cooks and active dog-boys in the world».
