Página 172 - Adieu, my dear Daddy : I won't be mortified, and I won't be downed; but I will be proud to find I have, out of my own family, as well as in it, a friend who loves me well enough to speak plain truth to me.

She turned from him very stiffly, and with a most distant air, and without even courtesying to him, and with a firm intention to keep to what she had publicly declared — that she would never speak to him more ! However, he went up to her himself, longing to begin ! and very roughly said, — ' Well, madam, what's become of your fine new house ? I hear no more of it...
