. The clear
blue sky first attracted her notice, and she said, 'It is the
prettiest thing I have ever seen yet, and equally pretty every
time I turn round and look at it.' She distinguished the street
from the foot-pavement distinctly, and stepped from one to the
other like a person accustomed to the use of her eyes. Her great
curiosity, and the manner in which she stared at the variety of
objects and pointed to them, exciting the observation of many
by-standers, her brother soon conducted her home, much against
