Grose's eyes expressed plainly that SHE had no wish to be, yet also that she knew too well her place not to be ready to share with me any marked inconvenience. Oh, it was quite settled that she MUST share! "Just what you saw from the dining room a minute ago was the effect of that. What I saw just before was much worse." Her hand tightened. "What was it?" "An extraordinary man. Looking in."
I had so perfectly expected that the return of my pupils would be marked by a demonstration that I was freshly upset at having to take into account that they were dumb about my absence. Instead of gaily denouncing and caressing me, they made no allusion to my having failed them, and I was left, for the time, on perceiving that she too said nothing, to study Mrs. Grose's odd face.
It is said of a collector lately deceased, that he used to purchase scarce prints at enormous prices in order to destroy them, and thereby render the remaining impressions more scarce and valuable." Grose's Olio, p. 57. Let us, however, summon a more potent spirit of this order. He is a different being altogether from those gentle shadows who have flitted past us already.
I winced at the fair show of the scene in Mrs. Grose's face; she looked for a minute as if she sharply saw them together. "And him who thinks so well of you!" "He has an odd way it comes over me now," I laughed," of proving it! But that doesn't matter. What Flora wants, of course, is to get rid of me." My companion bravely concurred.

She could only look at me harder. "Do you mean he's a stranger?" "Oh, very much!" "Yet you didn't tell me?" "No for reasons. But now that you've guessed " Mrs. Grose's round eyes encountered this charge.

The Philosophical Works were published in 1827, and frequently afterward. Green and Grose's edition, vol. iii. p. 67 seq. Hume's object, like that of Berkeley, is the improvement of Locke's doctrine of knowledge.
It was as if now in my friend's own eyes Miss Jessel had again appeared. I seemed at any rate, for an instant, to see their evocation of her as distinctly as I had seen her by the pond; and I brought out with decision: "It must have been also what SHE wished!" Mrs. Grose's face signified that it had been indeed, but she said at the same time: "Poor woman she paid for it!"
Grose's Travels to the East Indies, 1772. 2 vols. 8vo. Zend Avesta. Par Anquetil du Perrin. Paris, 1771. 3 vols. 4to. M.
