Quote #4
God convert you! For nobody but He and this lady, can (206.1)
Lord M. totally thinks Clarissa can convert his nephew, even though he's never met the girl. Wonder why that is?
Quote #5
I had often forbid her corresponding with the poor fallen angel—for surely never did young lady more resemble what we imagine of angels, both in person and mind (357.1)
Clarissa is so other-worldly. Get it? Toward the end of the book, more and more people seem to think she belongs in heaven. What a coincidence! That's just where she's headed.
Quote #6
We are taught to read the Bible when children, and as a rudiment only; and, as far as I know, this may be the only reason why we think ourselves above it when at a mature age (364.21)
