His writings combine extraordinary power of logic with great variety and beauty of style.
We had been preceded by a letter, introducing us to Admiral Austen as fervent admirers of his sister's genius, and were received by him with a gentle courtesy most winning to our heart. In the finely-cut features of the brother, who retained at eighty years of age much of the early beauty of his youth, we fancied we must see a resemblance to his sister, of whom there exists no portrait.
You wanted to speak to me, Frank?" "Yes; I am so obliged to you for introducing me to Levy. I must tell you how handsomely he has behaved."

He regrets that he has lost her confidence; which he attributes to his bringing her into the company of his four companions.
