Our school became one of the most popular in Brussels, and as by degrees we raised our terms and elevated our system of education, our choice of pupils grew more select, and at length included the children of the best families in Belgium.

We had too an excellent connection in England, first opened by the unsolicited recommendation of Mr.Hunsden, who having been over, and having abused me for my prosperity in set terms, went back, and soon after sent a leash of young -- --shire heiresses--his cousins; as he said "to be polished off by Mrs.Crimsworth." As to this same Mrs.Crimsworth, in one sense she was become another woman, though in another she remained unchanged.

So different was she under different circumstances.

I seemed to possess two wives.

The faculties of her nature, already disclosed when I married her, remained fresh and fair; but other faculties shot up strong, branched out broad, and quite altered the external character of the plant.
