There is too much vitality about me for the life of a drone.
I was growing restless and unhappy from sheer idleness and want of purpose.

How does our dear Fanny seem?
I feel no little concern about her.

Mr.Lyon makes no direct proposition for her hand, but it is evidently his purpose to do so.

I wish I knew him better, and that I had, just now, a freer mind to consider the subject.

Weigh it well in your thoughts, Agnes; and by all means observe Fanny very closely.
