I've read several of the books AlexBell has contributed to the library, and I'm thankful to him for modernising the language. The original will still be available whereever he found it for those who prefer it.
If I read "'No, No, Madam, Lady Isabella is of another guess mould than you take her for.'" I'd understand the broad meaning, but I'd read "mould" as a noun, wonder if the word "guess" was a typo and what it was supposed to be, and get thrown out of flow of the story a bit.
