16、people should marry for love or for money. The young people concerned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously(巧妙地 )solved by the discovery,【 C2】_the last page【 C3】 _the apparently penniless heroine was really a great hei

21、the gratitude which he felt for help【 C17】 _he owed to her kindly interest in him easily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in【 C18】 _the purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are l
