“O! I must tell you that I have fallen in love with a gentleman whom I have lately come acquainted with: he is about 60 or 70has the misfortune to be humpbacked, crooked legged, and rather deformed in his face.But, in sober sadness, I am delighted with the Dean of Coleraine, whose picture this is, and which I have very lately read. The piety, the zeal, the humanity, goodness and humility of this charming old man have won my heart. Ah! who will not envy him the invaluable treasure!”
