From The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope:

‘Miss Melmotte, you do not know the glorious west. Your past experiences have been drawn from this effete and stone-cold country in which passion is no longer allowed to sway. On those golden shores which the Pacific washes man is still true, – and woman is still tender.’

‘Perhaps I’d better wait and see, Mr. Fisker,’

But this was not Mr. Fisker’s view of the case. There might be other men desirous of being true on those golden shores.
