Side 184 - I will report no other wonder but this, that though I lived with him, and knew him from a child, yet I never knew him other than a man ; with such staidness of mind, lovely and familiar gravity as carried grace and reverence above greater years. His talk ever of knowledge, and his very play tending to enrich his mind.
Side 183 - After salutation, and duty done, with some other talk, I asked her why she would lose such pastime in the park...
