I have conceived something like appreciation of your humdrum goodness, and since I see a good deal of intellect at the back of it, I am disposed to do you a good turn, hoping that, charity-like, it may cover a multitude of my sins.

What is it that you have to communicate? asked Margaret, earnestly.
gpt
How can it be that you, a stranger have become acquainted with my concerns?
human
Pshaw! English exclusiveness again! mocked madame.

But I do know somewhat of your affairs, gentle Griselda. For instance, I hear that you are searching for Colonel Brand, that you may make over your fortune to him. Margaret Walsingham, how can you be so foolish?

Madame, I only do my duty.

My plain face and manner will never win me love.
