Halaman 106 - I never will have any. But I have had great opportunities of knowing the character of the people who inhabit that country ; and I will venture to say...
Halaman 116 - The torpitude of digestion a little passed, she flutters half an hour through the streets, by way of paying visits, and then to the spectacles.
