Bayruffle, a smooth woman of the world. "You think she must have sinned in her time, but are certain it will never be known," wrote Adela. "I do confess, kind as she is, she does me much harm; for when she is near me I begin to think that Society is everything. Her tact is prodigious; it is never seen only felt. I cannot describe her influence; yet it leads to nothing.
Bayruffle, who, if men talk difficult words in her presence, holds her chin above the conversation, and seems to shame them. I love to learn I love the humility of learning. And there is something divine in the idea of a teacher. I listen to Sir T. on Parliament and parties, and chide myself if my interest flags.
Captain Gambier received their semi-ironical congratulations and condolences incident to the man who is left alone in the charge of sweet ladies; and the Hon. Mrs. Bayruffle remarked, that she supposed ten hours not a long period of time, though her responsibility was onerous. "Lady Gosstre is at the island," said Lady Charlotte, to show where it might end, if she pleased.

There is no man so easily 'hooked, as Mrs. Bayruffle would say, as he, though he has but eight hundred a year: barely enough to live on. It would have been cruel of me to keep him, for if he is in love, it's with Emilia." Wilfrid here took upon himself to reproach her for a certain negligence of worldly interests.
What have ye been doin'? and why didn't ye return, and not go hoppin' about about all night like a young kangaroo, as they say they do? Have ye read the 'Arcana of Nature and Science, ma'am?" The Hon. Mrs. Bayruffle, thus abruptly addressed, observed that she had not, and was it an amusing book? "Becas it'll open your mind," pursued Mrs.
