Women admire celebrity in a man; but men adore it in a woman.
"The world," says Philip, "is a famous man; What will not women love so taught ?" I will try to answer this question.
The women will more readily forgive disgusting physical deformity for Fame's sake than we.

They would embrace with more rapture a famous orang-outang than we an illustrious chimpanzee; but when it comes to moral deformity the tables are turned.
Had the queen pardoned Mr.Greenacre and Mrs.Manning, would the great rush have been on the hero, or the heroine?
Why, on Mrs.Macbeth! To her would the blackguards have brought honorable proposals, and the gentry liberal ones.
Greenacre would have found more female admirers than I ever shall; but the grand stream of sexual admiration would have set Mariaward.

This fact is as dark as night; but it is as sure as the sun.
The next day "the friends" (most laughable of human substantives!) met in the theater, and again visited the green-room; and this time Vane determined to do himself more justice.

He was again disappointed; the actress's manner was ceremoniously polite.

She was almost constantly on the stage, and in a hurry when off it; and, when there was a word to be got with her the ready, glib Sir Charles was sure to get it.
