I could scarcely account for such an extraordinary appearance, as they continued in these agitations some time after meeting broke up.
Seite 430 - I remember her very smart boots were a great amusement to me ; they were purple, laced with scarlet. At last William Savery began to preach. His voice and manner were arresting, and we all liked the sound ; her attention became fixed : at last I saw her begin to weep, and she became a good deal agitated.
