"lt is! it is Miss Lucy Bertram," ejaculated Sampson, "whom by my poor aid you will find perfect in the tongues of France, and Italy, and even of Spain in reading and writing her vernacular tongue, and in arithmetic and bookkeeping by double and single entry I say nothing of her talents of shaping, and hemming, and governing a household, which, to give every one their due, she acquired not from me, but from the housekeeper nor do I take merit for her performance upon stringed instruments, whereunto the instructions of an honourable young lady of virtue and modesty, and very facetious withal Miss Julia Mannering hath not meanly contributed Suum cuique tribuilo."
