3 Sometimes, when the day was very unfavourable, his sisters would expostulate.
4 John had not much affection for his mother and sisters, and an antipathy to me.
5 A very different sort of mind was hers from that, for instance, of the sisters of St. John.

17 He had not kept his promise of treating me like his sisters; he continually made little chilling differences between us, which did not at all tend to the development of cordiality: in short, now that I was acknowledged his kinswoman, and lived under the same roof with him, I felt the distance between us to be far greater than when he had known me only as the village schoolmistress.
