With a man possessed of feelings like Sir Edward's,, the affliction of Louisa gave a certain respect to his attentions.
الصفحة 163 - In these the poet, the novel writer, and the essayist, have always delighted; you are not, therefore, singular, for having dedicated so much of the MIRROR to sentiment and sensibility.
