morning, noon
Mr. Greville builds , as he always did , a merit on his civility ; and by that means sinks , in the narrower lover , the claim he might otherwise make to the title of the generous neighbour . *** Miss Orme has just been here . She could not help throwing in a word for her brother . You will guess , my dear Lady G -- , at the subject of our conversations here , and what they will be , morning , noon , and night , for a week to come . My grandmamma is better in health than I have known her for a year or two past . The health of people in years can mend but slowly ; and they are slow to acknowledge it in their own favour . My grandmamma , however , allows that she is better within these few days past ; but attributes the amendment to her Harriet 's return .
