Immediately after my first visit her sister, Mrs.Milsom, came over from Paris, and the two ladies began to present, as they called it, their letters.

I thanked our stars that none had been presented to Mr.Paraday.

They received invitations and dined out, and some of these occasions enabled Fanny Hurter to perform, for consistency's sake, touching feats of submission.

Nothing indeed would now have induced her even to look at the object of her admiration.

Once, hearing his name announced at a party, she instantly left the room by another door and then straightway quitted the house.
