"The charms of her conversation, the purity of her heart, and the softness of her temper, made her altogether a character which could not be known without being beloved; and Emmeline, whose heart was open to all the enchanting impressions of early friendship, loved her with the truest affection."

Metaphor in Context
To her she owed the acquisition of much useful knowledge, as well as instruction in those elegant accomplishments which she was naturally so much attached to, but which she had no former opportunity of acquiring. The charms of her conversation, the purity of her heart, and the softness of her temper, made her altogether a character which could not be known without being beloved; and Emmeline, whose heart was open to all the enchanting impressions of early friendship, loved her with the truest affection. The little she had seen of Augusta Delamere, had given that young lady the second place in her heart. They were the same age, within a few weeks. Augusta Delamere extremely resembled the Mowbray family; and there was in figure and voice a very striking similitude between her and Emmeline Mowbray.
