" Put Miss Torrington to bed directly...

Strana 7 - " And /, Mr. Torrington, am ia no humour for joking : this is too serious a subject." " Emma, " Emma, I joked, to show you that /, at least, did not think this temporary affliction of our violent child a cause for sorrow." " No ? Hark how she screams ! Indeed, Mr. Torrington, I must go to her.
Strana 21 - the poor man is in love with an absent lady, and thence his indifference to those who are present. He is very handsome.'
