"My Alciphron has a heart!" cried the house-keeper. "You shall receive from me, on the day of your departure, the same sum and a matron's blue robe," said Lysander. Shortly after the marriage of Xanthe and Phaon, Semestre went to live with her daughter.
Jason told me yesterday evening that our uncle Alciphron had wooed you for his son Leonax, and was sure of finding a favorable reception from old Semestre and your poor father. I went at once to ask you if it were true, but turned back again, for there were other things to be done, and I thought we belonged to each other, and you could not love any one so well as you loved me.
The principle upon which Berkeley tells us that he constructed his dialogue is a dangerous one. 'It must not, he writes, 'be thought that authors are misrepresented if every notion of Alciphron or Lysicles is not found precisely in them.
Alciphron, in his familiar epistles descriptive of the domestic manners of the Greeks, gives a lively description of a course not very different from those of the present day, as will be seen in the following extract: "In trying whether the young dogs were fit for the chase, I started a hare from a little bush; my sons loosed the dogs from the slips.
