The look of decided admiration that the new comers cast upon her, quite revived her drooping spirits, and she smiled, curtseyed, and blushed as becomingly and naively as Howel could have wished.
Mr Horatio Simpson was a young man very much adorned with chains, rings, studs, and black curls.

He had, moreover, a very fine waistcoat, and was altogether well fitted by his tailor.

His face was not unlike that of an otter.

He used grand words when he spoke, but did not tire his companions by quite as voluble a tongue as did his mother.

He was one of those fine gentlemen who would, or could neither plod nor dash at his studies, and who was quite willing to take all his knowledge second hand from any one who would kindly impart it.
Captain Dancy was so entirely his devoted friend, that he gladly gave him the advantage of his superior parts, in return for various favours which Miss Simpson also aided in conferring.
Captain Dancy is a tall, fashionable-looking man, with what Miss Simpson and her mamma consider a splendid figure.
