          the Library Subscription book�察�and Charlotte was glad to 

see as much�察�and as quickly as possible�察�where all was new。 They 

were out in the very quietest part of a Watering´place Day�察�when 

the   important   Business   of   Dinner   or   of   sitting   after   Dinner   was 

going   on   in   almost   every   inhabited   Lodging�察�here   and   there   a 

solitary Elderly Man might be seen�察�who was forced to move early 

and   walk   for   health!but   in   general�察  �it   was   a   thorough   pause   of 

Company�察�it was Emptiness   and   Tranquillity  on   the   Terrace�察  �the 

Cliffs�察�and the Sands。!The Shops were deserted!the Straw Hats 

and pendant Lace seemed left to their fate both within the House 

and   without�察  �and   Mrs。   Whitby   at   the   Library   was   sitting   in   her 

inner     room�察   �reading    one    of  her   own     Novels�察   �for  want     of 

Employment。 The List of Subscribers was but commonplace。 The 

Lady     Denham�察     �Miss   Brereton�察   �Mr。   and    Mrs。   P。!Sir    Edward 

Denham and Miss Denham�察�whose names might be said to lead off

Mathews!Miss   Mathews�察  �Miss   E。   Mathews�察  �Miss   H。   Mathews。!

Mrs。   Davis�察  �and   Miss   Merryweather。!Mr。   P。   could   not   but   feel 

that the List was not only without Distinction�察�but less numerous 

than   he   had   hoped。    It   was  but   July   however�察 �and   August   and

September   were   the   Months�察�And   besides�察  �the   promised   large 

Families       from    Surry     and    Camberwell�察       �were     an   ever´ready 

consolation。!Mrs。   Whitby   came   forward   without   delay   from   her 

Literary recess�察�delighted to see Mr。 Parker again�察�whose manners 

recommended him to every body�察�and they were fully occupied in 

their    various     Civilities   and    Communications�察         �while    Charlotte 

having   added   her   name        to   the  List   as  the  first   offering   to   the 

success of the Season�察�was busy in some immediate purchases for 

the further  good of Every body�察�as soon as Miss Whitby could be 

hurried     down     from   her   Toilette�察   �with   all  her  glossy    Curls   and 

smart   Trinkets   to   wait   on   her。!The   Library   of   course�察  �afforded 

every thing�察�all the useless things in   the   World   that  could   not be 

done   without�察  �and   among  so many  pretty  Temptations�察  �and   with 

so much good will for Mr。 P。 to encourage Expenditure�察�Charlotte 

began to feel that she must check herself!or rather she reflected 

that   at   two   and   Twenty   there   could   be   no   excuse   for   her   doing 

otherwise!and that it would not do for her to be spending all her 

Money the very first Evening。 She took up a Book�察�it happened to 

be a volume of Camilla。 She had not Camilla¨s Youth�察�and had no 

intention of having her Distress�察�so�察�she turned from the Drawers 

of   rings   and   Broches   repressed   farther   solicitation   and   paid   for 

what she bought。!For her particular gratification�察�they were then 

to take a Turn on the   Cliff!but  as   they  quitted   the   Library  they 

were     met    by    two   Ladies     whose     arrival    made     an   alteration 

necessary�察  �Lady  Denham  and   Miss   Brereton。!They  had been   to 

Trafalgar   House�察  �and   been   directed   thence   to   the   Library�察  �and 

though Lady D。 was a great deal too active to regard the walk of a 

mile as any thing requiring rest�察  �and   talked   of  going  home   again 

directly�察�the Parkers knew that to be pressed into their House�察�and

obliged     to  take   her   Tea   with    them�察   �would    suit  her   best�察�and 

therefore the stroll on the Cliff gave   way  to  an immediate   return 

home。!`No�察  �no�察�   said   her   Ladyship!`I   will   not   have   you   hurry 

your   Tea   on   my   account。!I   know   you   like   your   Tea   late。!My 

early  hours   are   not   to   put   my   Neighbours   to   inconvenience。   No�察�

no�察  �Miss  Clara and   I   will   get  back   to  our  own   Tea。   We came   out 

with no other Thought。!We wanted just to see you and make sure 

of your being really come�察�but we get back to our own Tea。¨!She 

went on however towards Trafalgar House and took possession of 

the Drawing room very quietly!without seeming to  hear  a   word 

of   Mrs。   P。¨s   orders   to   the   Servant   as   they   entered�察  �to   bring   Tea 

directly。 Charlotte was   fully  consoled   for  the   loss  of  her  walk�察  �by 

finding herself in company with those�察�whom the conversation of 

the morning had given her a great curiosity to see。 She observed 

them well。!Lady D。 was of middle height�察�stout�察�upright and alert 

in her motions�察�with a shrewd eye�察�and self´satisfied air!but  not 

an    unagreable      Countenance!and           tho¨   her   manner     was    rather 

downright and abrupt as of a person who valued herself on being 

free´spoken�察�there was a good humour and cordiality about her!a 

civility and readiness to be acquainted with Charlotte herself�察�and 

a   heartiness     of   welcome      towards     her   old   friends�察  �which     was 

inspiring     the   Good     will�察 �she   seemed     to  feel。  And    as   for  Miss 

Brereton�察  �her   appearance   so   completely   justified   Mr。   P。¨s   praise 

that   Charlotte   thought   she   had   never   beheld   a   more   lovely�察       �or 

more       Interesting      young      Woman。!Elegantly            tall�察  �regularly 

handsome�察�with great delicacy of complexion and soft Blue eyes�察�a 

sweetly     modest      and   yet   naturally    graceful     Address�察    �Charlotte 

could see in her only the most perfect representation of whatever 

Heroine      might     be   most    beautiful     and   bewitching�察     �in   all  the

numerous   volumes   they   had   left   behind   them   on   Mrs。   Whitby¨s 

shelves。!Perhaps   it   might   be   partly   oweing   to   her   having   just 

issued from a Circulating Library!but she could not separate the 

idea   of   a   complete   Heroine   from   Clara   Brereton。   Her   situation 

with   Lady   Denham   so   very   much   in   favour   of   it� �She   seemed 

placed     with   her   on   purpose     to   be  ill´used。   Such    Poverty     and 

Dependance joined to such Beauty and Merit�察�seemed to leave no 

choice in the business。!These feelings were not the result of any 

spirit of Romance in Charlotte herself。 No�察�she was a very  sober´ 

minded young Lady�察�sufficiently well´read in Novels to supply her 

Imagination        with    amusement�察        �but   not    at   all  unreasonably 

influenced   by   them�察  �and   while   she   pleased   herself   the   first   five 

minutes with fancying the Persecutions which ought to be the Lot

barbarous        conduct     on    Lady     Denham¨s       side�察  �she    found     no
