A modest woman may be a w e ; but to behave with indecency in public, indeed, to throw off all that would recommend a woman to a vicious man of sense and taste ; to show, as De Roty says of a court lady, not the least sense of... virtue in the practice of every vice; this requires the highest degree of impudence ; that degree, indeed, which is inconsistent with every great or good quality whatever.
