wished to say something very sensible, but knew not how Written by Stephanie (4/12/2010 2:36 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Sir William Lucas, penned by Cheryl

I wonder if the apparent difference in 'visiting no newcomers' and 'being civil to all the world' is not a matter of the more precise use of the word 'visit' in Jane Austen's time?
