If about five o'clock to-morrow afternoon will not be inconvenient, Mrs. Brown and I will come and piddle upon a bit more of her; but pray let your whole family, with Mrs.
第 xxxviii 頁 - Christian heroine, proves superior to her trials ; and her heart, always excellent, refined and exalted by every one of them, rejoices in the approach of a happy eternity.
