Miss Grandison arose and saluted my cousin; who look’d at Sir Charles with reverence, as well as gratitude; at Miss Grandison with delight; and at me with eyes lifted up.

Additional quotes by Samuel Richardson

I have just received my uncle’s Letter. And, after his charge upon me of Vanity and Pride, will my parade, as above, stand me in any stead? — I must trust to it. Only one word to my dear and everhonoured uncle — Don’t you, Sir, impute to me a belief of the truth of those extravagant compliments made by men professing Love to me; and I will not wish you to think me one bit the wiser, the handsomer, the better for them, than I was before.
