💬 Quotations
With a lover […] her sensibility will naturally lead her to endeavour to excite emotion, not to gratify her vanity, but her heart. This I do not allow to be coquetry, it is the artless impulse of nature […]
An act constituting such behaviour; an affectation of amorous interest or enticement, especially of a woman directed towards a man.
