Dryden with all his undemanding was weak enough to be fond of Judicial Astrology, and used to calculate the nativity of his children.
Even Miss Harriet Pyne herself had lost some of the unnecessary provincialism and prejudice which had begun to harden a naturally good and open mind and affectionate heart.
