Miss Jinny is too nice and sensible to be made fun of in that way, and I won't have it.

My meek submission was considered as a mark of a servile and insensible mind; and my tender assiduities, to which his heart no longer responded, created only disgust, and exalted the proud spirit it was meant to conciliate.,"Oh, Captain Weaver, there are many wicked people at sea!" cried Miss Acton.
