with whom�拭�And they were so glad to find her equal to the
Journey� �And that she was to belong to them�察 �was a thing of
course。¨ Miss Diana P。 was about four and thirty�察 �of middling
height and slender�察�delicate looking rather than sickly�察 �with an
agreable face�察�and a very animated eye�察�her manners resembling
her Brother¨s in their ease and frankness�察 �though with more
decision and less mildness in her Tone。 She began an account of
herself without delay。!Thanking them for their Invitation�察 �but
`that was quite out of the question�察 �for they were all three come�察�
and meant to get into Lodgings and make some stay。¨!`All three
come� �What� �Susan and Arthur� �Susan able to come too� �
This was better and better。¨ `Yes!we are actually all come。 Quite
unavoidable!Nothing else to be done。!You shall hear all about
it。!But my dear Mary�察 �send for the Children�察�I long to see
them。¨!`And how has Susan born the Journey�拭�and how is
Arthur�拭�and why do not we see him here with you�拭�!`Susan has
born it wonderfully。 She had not a wink of sleep either the night
before we set out�察�or last night at Chichester�察�and as this is not so
common with her as with me�察 �I have had a thousand fears for
her!but she had kept up wonderfully!had no Hysterics of
consequence till we came within sight of poor old Sanditon!and
the attack was not very violent!nearly over by the time we
reached your Hotel!so that we got her out of the Carriage
extremely well�察�with only Mr。 Woodcock¨s assistance!and when I
left her she was directing the Disposal of the Luggage�察�and helping
old Sam uncord the Trunks。!She desired her best Love�察 �with a
thousand regrets at being so poor a Creature that she could not
come with me。 And as for poor Arthur�察 �he would not have been

unwilling himself�察�but there is so much Wind that I did not think
he could safely venture�察�for I am sure there is Lumbago hanging
about him!and so I helped him on with his great Coat and sent
him off to the Terrace�察�to take us Lodgings。!Miss Heywood must
have seen our Carriage standing at the Hotel。!I knew Miss
Heywood the moment I saw her before me on the Down。!My dear
Tom I am so glad to see you walk so well。 Let me feel your
Ancle。!That¨s right�察�all right and clean。 The play of your Sinews a
very little affected�此�barely perceptible。!Well!now for the
explanation of my being here。!I told you in my Letter�察�of the two
considerable Families�察 �I was hoping to secure for you!the West
Indians�察�and the Seminary。¨ Here Mr。 P。 drew his Chair still nearer
to his Sister�察 �and took her hand again most affectionately as he
answered `Yes�察�Yes�察�How active and how kind you have been� �!
`The West´indians�察� she continued�察 �whom I look upon as the most
desirable of the two!as the Best of the Good!prove to be a Mrs。
Griffiths and her family。 I know them only through others。!You
must have heard me mention Miss Capper�察�the particular friend of
my very particular friend Fanny Noyce�察�now�察 �Miss Capper is
extremely intimate with a Mrs。 Darling�察 �who is on terms of
constant correspondence with Mrs。 Griffiths herself。!Only a short
chain�察�you see�察�between us�察�and not a Link wanting。 Mrs。 G。 meant
to go to the Sea�察�for her Young People¨s benefit!had fixed on the
coast of Sussex�察 �but was undecided as to the where�察 �wanted
something Private�察�and wrote to ask the opinion of her friend Mrs。
Darling。!Miss Capper happened to be staying with Mrs。 D。 when
Mrs。 G。¨s Letter arrived�察 �and was consulted on the question�察 �she
wrote the same day to Fanny Noyce and mentioned it to her!and
Fanny all alive for us�察�instantly took up her pen and forwarded the

circumstance to me!except as to Names!which have but lately
transpired。!There was but one thing for me to do。!I answered
Fanny¨s Letter by the same Post and pressed for the
recommendation of Sanditon。 Fanny had feared your having no
house large enough to receive such a Family。!But I seem to be
spinning out my story to an endless length。!You see how it was
all managed。 I had the pleasure of hearing soon afterwards by the
same simple link of connection that Sanditon had been
recommended by Mrs。 Darling�察 �and that the West´indians were
very much disposed to go thither。!This was the state of the case
when I wrote to you�察�but two days ago�察�yes�察 �the day before
yesterday!I heard again from Fanny Noyce�察�saying that she had
heard from Miss Capper�察 �who by a Letter from Mrs。 Darling
understood that Mrs。 G。 has expressed herself in a letter to Mrs。 D。
more doubtingly on the subject of Sanditon。!Am I clear�拭�I would
be anything rather than not clear。¨!`Oh� �perfectly�察 �perfectly。
Well�拭�!`The reason of this hesitation�察 �was her having no
connections in the place�察 �and no means of ascertaining that she
should have good accomodations on arriving there�察�and she was
particularly careful and scrupulous on all those matters more on
account of a certain Miss Lambe a young Lady ��probably a Niece��
under her care�察�than on her own account or her Daughters。!Miss
Lambe has an immense fortune!richer than all the rest!and
very delicate health。!One sees clearly enough by all this�察�the sort
of Woman Mrs。 G。 must be!as helpless and indolent�察 �as Wealth
and a Hot Climate are apt to make us。 But we are not all born to
equal energy。!What was to be done�拭�I had a few moments
indecision�察�Whether to offer to write to you�察�or to Mrs。 Whitby
to secure them a House�拭�but neither pleased me。!I hate to

employ others�察�when I am equal to act myself!and my conscience
told me that this was an occasion which called for me。 Here was a
family of helpless Invalides whom I might essentially serve。!I
sounded Susan!the same Thought had occurred to her。!Arthur
made no difficulties!our plan was arranged immediately�察 �we
were off yesterday morning at six�察�left Chichester at the same hour
today!and here we are。!`Excellent� �Excellent� � cried Mr。
Parker。!`Diana�察 �you are unequalled in serving your friends and
doing Good to all the World。!I know nobody like you。!Mary�察�my
Love�察 �is not she a wonderful Creature�拭�Well!and now�察 �what
House do you design to engage for them�拭�What is the size of
