After the lesson she had received, none of her female attendants, not even the Duchesse de Polignac, to whom she would have confided her very existence, could, had they been ever so much disposed, have drawn anything upon public matters from her.
They hoard their knowledge, as misers their gold. Their communicativeness is small. Their appreciation of principles is greater than their sympathy for persons. The best merit of an opinion is, that it is sound; its next best merit, that it is briefly expressed. The "twelve rules for a poet" are eleven too many. The poet needs but one rule for his guidance as a poet, namely, never to write poetry.

"Oh! yes the handsomest young lady that ever was seen; and so accomplished! She plays and sings all day long.

In her now excited state of communicativeness, Lady Castlefort rose and looked all about the room for the papers, saying, "They were here, they were there, all yesterday; Katrine had them showing them to Lady Masham in the morning, and to all her blue set afterwards Lord knows what she has done with them.

"Well! but you ran a great risk, too. Suppose he had not come into your cell suppose he had been called away for a minute."
All the rest show an oblivion or indifference most unlike the genial communicativeness of Cicero, Horace, and Ovid. His father was one Suetonius Lenis, a military tribune and wearer of the angusticlave. Muretus, however, desirous to give him a more illustrious origin, declares that his father was the Suetonius Paulinus mentioned by Tacitus.
