"I think you deserve to know.

It is partly your doing that papa is so pleased with Mrs Denbigh.

He is going to buy her a silk gown this morning, and I think you ought to know why." "Why ?" asked Jemima.
"Because papa is so pleased to find that you mind what she says." "I mind what she says! To be sure I do, and always did.

But why should papa give her a gown for that?
I think he ought to give it me rather," said Jemima, half laughing.
"I am sure he would, dear; he will give you one, I am certain, if you want one.

He was so pleased to see you like your old self to Mr Farquhar last night.
