[The Amazing Marriage by George Meredith]@TWC D-Link bookThe Amazing Marriage CHAPTER XIX 18/26
There 's an admiral down Hampshire way, a place I've been near and seen.

Just in that tone of hers do Welshwomen talk of their country; of its history, when at home, of its mountains, when exiled: and in a language like hers, bare of superlatives to signify an ardour conveyed by the fire of the breath.
Her quick devotion to a lady exciting enthusiasm through admiring pity for the grace of a much-tried quiet sweetness, was explained; apart from other reasons, feminine or hidden, which might exist.
