Excerpt from The New Forest, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel Gress, and congeniality of disposition equally tended to accelerate its growth. If the Squire was frank, straight-forward, and sincere, almost to bluntness, Fanny had a correspondent ho nesty of expression, a brusquerie, as Lady Susan called it, which, removing her to the very anti podes of coquetry, rendered it sometimes diffi cult for her to suppress her thoughts, or modify her expressions, so as to accord with the hypo critical courtesies and refinements of polished society.
