That English Earl was very attentive last night to Sophronia at Mrs.Jessap's ball." "An English Count?
who is he?
and where did he spring from ?" "Why he's from England, and is said to be the only son and heir of a very rich nobleman." "I don't believe it, I don't believe he is an Earl any more than I am." "That's just like you, always throw cold water on every thing I say" "It is no such thing, but I don't believe in picking up strangers and putting them into my bosom; it is not all gold that glitters."
