He is a miniature painter, by profession, but I fear does not make much of a living.

That does not hinder his being as generous as if he had thousands to dispose of.

His heart does not take counsel with his purse, nor with anything but his heart.

He lives with a widowed sister who keeps his house; and she is as kind in her way as he is in his, though the ways are different.

I am as much at home here as I can be.
