Do I dislike Mrs.Bevis?
Not in the smallest degree.

I could read a book I loved in her presence.

That would be impossible to me in the presence of Mrs.Ramshorn.
Mrs.Wingfold had developed a great faculty for liking people.

It was quite a fresh shoot of her nature, for she had before been rather of a repellent disposition.

I wish there were more, and amongst them some of the best of people, similarly changed.
