never flattered, and did not praise them half enough; but
whenever she did speak favourably of them, or anything be-
longing to them, they could be quite sure her approbation
was sincere. She was very obliging, quiet, and peaceable in

humour she would talk to them, and be very agreeable and
amusing sometimes, in her way; which was quite different
to mamma’s, but still very well for a change. She had her
own opinions on every subject, and kept steadily to them—
very tiresome opinions they often were; as she was always
thinking of what was right and what was wrong, and had a
strange reverence for matters connected with religion, and
an unaccountable liking to good people.’
