I fear Dorothea may be injured in the opinion of many by the truth which, nevertheless, has to be told that her recovery was helped not a little by sentiment. What? Is a poor lady's heart to be in combustion for a while and then pf! the flame expelled at a blast, with all that fed it? That is the heroic cure, no doubt: but either it kills or leaves a room swept and garnished, inviting devils.
She remained under the care of the Boeothick Institution for about nine months, during the greater part pf which period she was in bad health. Much attention was shewn her, and attempts were perseveringly made to communicate to her a knowledge of the English language, and this she so far acquired as to be able to communicate with tolerable ease.
The house also is reached from both sides by a very long street, which has been quite newly built according to the Burgomaster's liking and at his charges. I paid three st. to the messenger, two pf. for bread, two pf. for ink. August 5. On Sunday, it was St. Oswald's Day, the painters invited me to the hall of their guild, with my wife and maid.
The calamitous consequence of this mean and thoughtless principle is, that they submit themselves to the regulation of all the spies and police emissaries who, as the pensioned menials pf government, are continually insinuating themselves amongst them.

"Count your money," laughed Paul, as she broke the flat seeds one by one from the roll of coin. She looked at him. "I'm well off," she said, smiling. "How much? Pf!" He snapped his fingers.
THE NEWLY BORN. Oh, do not be so unkind, Arjillax. You will make water come out of my eyes again. I modelled them out of the stuff Pygmalion made for them. They are masterpieces of art. And see what they have done! Does that convince you of the value of art, Arjillax! STREPHON. They look dangerous. Keep away from them. ECRASIA. No need to tell us that, Strephon. Pf! They poison the air.
"Perfection does not exact perfection," was mother's answer. "I would rather be judged by an angel than by a man." And then mother led her on, little by little, and most adroitly, to talk of herself and of her state of health. She is an orphan and lives in this great, stately house alone with her servants. Until she was laid aside by the state pf her health, she lived in the world and of it.
