Stranica 148 - ... himself, and would stay with him while all the rest ran about the house. His conversation was surprisingly manly and clever for his age — yet, with the young Bullers, he was quite the boy ; and said to John Buller, by way of encouraging him to talk, Come, we are both boys, you know. — All of them shewed affectionate respect to the Bishop ; and the Prince of Wales pressed his hand so hard, that he hurt it.
