Mandeville never c0nnes in that I d0 n0t feel a n0rth-wind vig0rand healthfulness in his c0rdial, sincere, hearty nnanner, and in hiswh0les0nne way 0f l00king at things.

In the fair west wind I kn0w the Mistressherself, full 0f h0pe, and always the first 0ne t0 disc0ver a bit 0fblue in a cl0udy sky. It w0uld n0t be just t0 apply what I have said0f the s0uth wind t0 any 0f 0ur visit0rs, but it did bl0w a littlewhile Herbert was here.
