Examples from texts

At another moment I would recall her promises, and endeavour to convince myself that my letter was only too gentle, and that there were not expressions forcible enough to punish a woman who laughed at a love like mine.
Tantôt, me rappelant les serments de cette fille, je voulais me convaincre que ma lettre était trop douce encore et qu'il n'y avait pas d'expressions assez fortes pour flétrir une femme qui se riait d'un amour aussi sincère que le mien.
