Mary says:--"She visited us twice or thrice when she was at Miss W---'s.

We used to dispute about politics and religion.

She, a Tory and clergyman's daughter, was always in a minority of one in our house of violent Dissent and Radicalism.

She used to hear over again, delivered _with authority_, all the lectures I had been used to give her at school on despotic aristocracy, mercenary priesthood, &c.
She had not energy to defend herself; sometimes she owned to a _little_ truth in it, but generally said nothing.

Her feeble health gave her her yielding manner, for she could never oppose any one without gathering up all her strength for the struggle.
