should escape as he is now. A man—a sensible man like Dr. Grant
cannot be in the habit of teaching others their duty every week
cannot go to church twice every Sundayand preach such very
good sermons in so good a manner as he doeswithout being the
better for it himself. It must make him thinkand I have no doubt

had been anything but a clergyman.”
“We cannot prove to the contraryto be sure—but I wish you a
better fateMiss Pricethan to be the wife of a man whose
amiableness depends upon his own sermons; for though he may
preach himself into a good-humour every Sundayit will be bad
enough to have him quarrelling about green geese from Monday
morning till Saturday night.”
“I think the man who could often quarrel with Fanny” said
Edmund affectionately“must be beyond the reach of any
sermons.
