Strona 32 - I was so old as she is. 1 cannot remember the time when I did not know a great deal that she has not the least notion of yet. How long ago it is, aunt, since we used to repeat the chronological order of the kings of England, with the dates of their accession, and most of the principal events of their reigns !" " Yes," added the other ; " and of the the Roman emperors as low as Severus ; besides a great deal of the Heathen Mythology, and all the Metals, SemiMetals, Planets, and distinguished philosophers.
Strona 204 - Do you mean literally or figuratively? Literally, I conclude. Yes, certainly the sun shines, and the park looks very cheerful. But unluckily that iron gate, that ha-ha, give me a feeling of restraint and hardship. 'I cannot get out,
Strona 114 - but had I a place to new fashion, I should not put myself into the hands of an improver. I would rather have an inferior degree of beauty, of my own choice, and acquired progressively. I would rather abide by my own blunders than by his.
Strona 186 - The politeness which she had been brought up to practise as a duty, made it impossible for her to escape; while the want of that higher species of selfcommand, that just consideration of others, that knowledge of her own heart, that principle of right which had not formed any essential part of her education, made her miserable under it.

She thinks of nothing but the Isle of Wight, and she calls it the Island, as ifs there were no other island in the world.
Strona 191 - London can rarely be the case. The clergy are lost there in the crowds of their parishioners. They are known to the largest part only as preachers. And with regard to their influencing public manners, Miss Crawford must not misunderstand me, or suppose I mean to call them the arbiters of good breeding, the regulators of refinement and courtesy, the masters of the ceremonies of life. The manners I speak of might rather be called conduct, perhaps, the result of good principles...
Strona 130 - Having formed her mind and gained her affections, he had a good chance of her thinking like him ; though at this period, and on this subject, there began now to be some danger of dissimilarity, for he was in a line of admiration of Miss Crawford, which might lead him where Fanny could not follow.
