I had heard something of himmuch, indeedfrom General Washington and Mr. Hamilton, but I was wholly unprepared to find so sincere, so intelligent a young gentleman.

While on the subject of streets, I cannot help remarking that it always struck me as very curious that so intelligent a people as the Americans never adopted the simple plan of using sweeping carts, which many of their countrymen must have seen working in London.

How could so intelligent a woman as Blanche think that any money could compensate a clever, high-spirited girl like Bubbles for marrying a James Tapster?
