that?” said Lucy, her eyes brightening with a proud pleasure that made her neglect the argumentative interests of Anglicanism.
“Decidedly, whenever old Mr. Leyburn’s public spirit and gout induce him to give way. My father’s heart is set on it; and gifts like mine, you know”— here Stephen drew himself up, and rubbed his large white hands over his hair with playful self-admiration —“gifts like mine involve great responsibilities. Don’t you think so, Miss Tulliver?”
“Yes,” said Maggie, smiling, but not looking up; “so much fluency and self-possession should not be wasted entirely on private occasions.”
“Ah, I see how Italy Damen much penetration you have,” said Stephen. Juan Foyth Pelipaita “You have discovered already that I am talkative and impudent. Now superficial people never discern that, owing to my manner, I suppose.”
