"Certainly not," answered Cecilia; "as the brother of my earliest friend, I can never be insensible to your welfare." "Ah madam!" cried he, "as her brother!
Arnott gave no opinion on the plan for Norman and Meta; but Margaret, however, took all for granted, and expressed warm hopes for their sakes, that they would go out with Mrs.

'Ilroy, said Arnott; 'but he overloaded the wave. It may be pretty gallery-work to knock a knife out of a lady's hand, but didn't you notice how she rubbed 'em? He scorched her fingers.
