too much a man of the world not to see with the eyes
of the world. If other people think Sotherton improved,
I have no doubt that you will."
"I am afraid I am not quite so much the man of the world
as might be good for me in some points. My feelings
are not quite so evanescent, nor my memory of the past
under such easy dominion as one finds to be the case
with men of the world."
