Стр. 83 - Dorothy's colour came, as with a slight hesitation she answered, — " I think — that is, I know — that father and thou have always wished me to like Josiah Crewdson ; and now that I have seen him, and know him better, I do like him, and think him very kind and worthy, but — surely, mother, something more than liking is needed to make people happy ?
