There was a touch of dignity in his unforced anger. My aunt winced displeasingly to my sight: 'I see nothing to astonish one. 'Nothing to astonish one! The squire set his mouth in imitation of her. 'You see nothing to astonish one? Well, ma'am, when a man grows old enough to be a grandfather, I do see something astonishing in a child of nineteen by George! it's out o' nature.
