She loses all her time looking to see what the time is'. I overheard her whispering, 'Just so many hours, minutes, &c., to Tuesday; I think St. George's goes too slow.' This little present of Time!-why'tis Eternity to her! Lamb to Wordsworth: "I am about to lose my old and only walk-companion, whose mirthful spirits were the youth of our house', Emma Isola.' 391.
