One kind of flirtation is to boast we never flirt.

Coquetry is the essential characteristic, and the prevalent humor of women; but they do not all practice it, because the coquetry of some is restrained by fear or by reason.

Novelty is to love like bloom to fruit; it gives a luster which is easily effaced, but never returns.

Women do not know all their powers of flirtation.

To boast that one never flirts is actually a kind of flirtation.
