"But he isn't friend, Livy."
ait seems TO me as if I'd known him
forever. That soft, monotonous voice,
which never became excited and new
or disagreeable, is as familiar to me
as though had lived with it all my
life"
81 thought him very pleasant"
"Indeed you did, Carry. And be
thought you pleasant too. Doesn't it
seem oddl You were mending his glove
for him this very afternoon, just as ifhe

"Why shouldn't mend his glovei

"And does that made difference ~
"Idon't think they put clerks into

"Nor yet mad doctors" said Olivia
"Well like him very much; and the only

"In what wayi"
"About a mad doctor"
"It's my belief" said Olivia, "that
he's an English swell, lord, or duke
and it's my belief, toe, that he's in love
with you"
otis my belief, Livy, that you're a reg

ended on that occasion.
