Some women, I grant, would not appear to advantage seated on a pillion, and attired2 in a drab joseph and a drab beaver-bonnet, with a crown resembling a small stew-pan; for a garment suggesting a coachman's greatcoat, cut out under an exiguity3 of cloth that would only allow of miniature capes4, is not well adapted to conceal5 deficiencies of contour, nor is drab a colour that will throw sallow cheeks into lively contrast.

Moreover, it was quite plain he had no real love for her, else he would not let people have that to say of him which they did say. Did he suppose that Miss Nancy Lammeter was to be won by any man,
