Сторінка 208 - ... least, this is the case. Her garb is something between a gentlewoman and a beggar, yet the former evidently predominates. She is most provokingly humble, and ostentatiously sensible to her inferiority. He may require to be repressed sometimes — aliquando sufflaminandus erat — but there is no raising her.
Сторінка 207 - He casually looketh in about dinner-time — when the table is full. He offereth to go away, seeing you have company, but is induced to stay.
