2 "For everything of that nature I will be answerable," said Tom, in a decided tone.
3 The instinct of nature was soon satisfied, and Mrs. Price's attachment had no other source.
4 You need not hurry when the object is only to prevent my saying a bon mot, for there is not the least wit in my nature.
5 Could I have sent a few happy lines, they should not have been wanting, but nothing of that nature was ever in my power.
6 Fanny found that it was not to be, and in the modesty of her nature immediately felt that she had been unreasonable in expecting it.
7 Everything that a considerate parent ought to feel was advanced for her use; and everything that an affectionate mother must feel in promoting her children's enjoyment was attributed to her nature.
8 And when farther pressed, had added, that in her opinion their dispositions were so totally dissimilar as to make mutual affection incompatible; and that they were unfitted for each other by nature, education, and habit.
