About this book
Pencil Sketches, or Outlines of Character and Manners, by Miss Leslie, includes Mrs. Washington Potts and Mr. Smith, with other stories. The advertisement says the work from which the following is a selection has been long out of print, and that many inquiries have been made concerning it. The advertisement says a new generation of young people has grown up, and that they may, perhaps, find amusement and improvement in pictures of domestic life.
Aunt Quimby makes her appearance in the calico gown which Albina now regretted having persuaded her to keep on. The old lady is described as wrapped in a small shawl and two large ones, with her head secured from cold by a black silk handkerchief tied over her cap and under her chin. Miss Atherley says that whoever draws the largest rose-leaf may claim the honour of Mr. Fitzsimmons's hand for the next set.
