It had been, as he supposed, rather desultory teaching. But she took the corrections and explanations with a sweetness that was quite enchanting.

"How thoughtless of me.
Before my window lies an enchanting landscape. It embraces a stretch of open rolling country, beautiful as the eye could wish to rest upon.
I wrote and told him of one gentleman's vast collection of shells; another's noble collection of meerschaum pipes; another's elevating and refining collection of undecipherable autographs; another's priceless collection of old china; another's enchanting collection of postage-stamps and so forth and so on.
