I do really believe that Essie will be happier with a simple-hearted fellow like him, than with a clever man like Bobus, who has places in his mind she could never reach up to, and lucky for her too," half whispered Babie at the end. "I thought you would have cared more for your own brother." "Remember, they all said it would have been wrong. Besides, Cecil has been always like my brother.
I leave him a bit of Latin composition, and what do I find but an endless doggerel ballad on What's his name? who hid under his father's staircase as a beggar, eating the dogs' meat, while his afflicted family were searching for him in vain; his favourite example."
