After dinner I sew till tea-time, and after tea I either write, read, or do a little fancy-work, or draw, as I please.
Thus, in one delightful, though somewhat monotonous course, my life is passed.

I have been only out twice to tea since I came home.

We are expecting company this afternoon, and on Tuesday next we shall have all the female teachers of the Sunday-school to tea." I may here introduce a quotation from a letter which I have received from "Mary" since the publication of the previous editions of this memoir.
"Soon after leaving school she admitted reading something of Cobbett's.
'She did not like him,' she said; 'but all was fish that came to her net.' At this time she wrote to me that reading and drawing were the only amusements she had, and that her supply of books was very small in proportion to her wants.

She never spoke of her aunt.

When I saw Miss Branwell she was a very precise person, and looked very odd, because her dress, &c., was so utterly out of fashion.
