I have lots of chemises, nightgowns, pocket- handkerchiefs, and pockets to make; besides clothes to repair.

I have been, every week since I came home, expecting to see Branwell, and he has never been able to get over yet.

We fully expect him, however, next Saturday.

Under these circumstances how can I go visiting?
You tantalize me to death with talking of conversations by the fireside.
Depend upon it, we are not to have any such for many a long month to come.

I get an interesting impression of old age upon my face; and when you see me next I shall certainly wear caps and spectacles.".
