Our English idea of a Comedy of Manners might be imaged in the person of a blowsy country girl say Hoyden, the daughter of Sir Tunbelly Clumsy, who, when at home, 'never disobeyed her father except in the eating of green gooseberries' transforming to a varnished City madam; with a loud laugh and a mincing step; the crazy ancestress of an accountably fallen descendant.
'There is no speech nor language; their voice is not heart, yet, 'their line has gone through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. So we may quietly ray out the light in us and witness the transforming power of our Master by the transparent purity of our lives.
The executive gone, the legislature popular and democratic but ignorant how to administer or conduct affairs, the judiciary equally disorganized, and the army transforming itself into a patriotic organization was there more to come?

He shook his head instantly, with a sudden, transforming smile that revealed in him the young, quick spirit that had caught hers so long ago. "Oh no no!" he said.

Though he was not prepared to give it a new definition, it was clear that the old one was no longer sufficient for his needs. The mere fact that this woman, whom he had vainly tempted with gifts whom he was still hoping to capture by prowess could come to him of her own accord, had a transforming effect on himself.
