"Mary and Mrs.
His sister rose after a while, and commenced walking up and down in the same manner on the opposite side of the table, and in the course of half an hour they took their leave. Landor, in commenting on this passage, says it is evident that Willis 'fidgeted the Lambs, and seems rather unaccountably annoyed at his having alluded to Crabb Robinson simply as 'a barrister.
