House   do   you   design   to   engage   for   them�拭�What   is   the   size   of 

their family�拭� `I do not at all know¨!replied his Sister!`have not 

the least idea�察�never heard any particulars�察�but I am very sure 

that  the  largest  house   at   Sanditon   cannot   be too  large。   They   are 

more likely to want a second。!I shall take only one however�察�and 

that�察�but for a week certain。!Miss Heywood�察�I astonish you。!You 

hardly know what to make of me。!I see by your Looks�察�that you 

are not used to such quick measures。¨!The words `Unaccountable 

Officiousness� �Activity          run   mad� �!had        just   passed    through 

Charlotte¨s mind!but a civil answer was easy。 `I dare say I do look 

surprised�察� said she!`because these are very great exertions�察�and I 

know     what    Invalides   both   you   and   your   Sister   are。¨  `Invalides 

indeed。!I trust there are not three   People in   England   who   have 

so sad a right to that appellation� �But my dear Miss Heywood�察�we 

are sent into this World to be as extensively useful as possible�察�and 

where some degree of Strength of Mind is given�察�it is not a feeble 

body   which   will   excuse   us!or   incline   us   to   excuse   ourselves。! 

The World is pretty much divided between the Weak of Mind and 

the   Strong!between   those   who   can   act   and   those   who   can   not�察�

and it is the bounden Duty of the Capable to let no opportunity of 

being useful escape them。!My Sister¨s Complaints and mine are 

happily not often of a Nature�察�to threaten Existence immediately! 

and as long as we can exert ourselves to be of use of others�察�I am 

convinced   that   the   Body   is      the   better�察 �for   the  refreshment   the 

Mind   receives   in   doing   its   Duty。!While   I   have   been   travelling�察�

with this object in view�察�I have been perfectly well。¨!The entrance 

of    the    Children      ended      this   little   panegyric      on    her    own 

Disposition!and after having noticed and caressed them all�察�she 

prepared to go。!`Cannot you dine with us�拭�Is not it possible to 

prevail on you to dine with us�拭� was then the cry�察�and that being 

absolutely   negatived�察  �it   was   `And   when   shall   we   see   you   again�拭�

and how can we be of use to you�拭�!and Mr。 P。 warmly offered his 

assistance in taking the house for Mrs。 G。!`I will come to you the 

moment I have dined�察� said he�察 �and we will go about together。¨! 

But this was immediately declined。!`No�察�my dear Tom�察  �upon no 

account   in   the   World�察  �shall   you     stir   a   step  on   any   business   of 

mine。!Your  Ancle   wants   rest。 I   see by  the   position  of   your   foot�察�

that you have used it too much already。!No�察�I shall go about my 

House´taking directly。 Our Dinner is  not  ordered   till six!and   by 

that   time   I   hope   to   have   completed   it。   It   is   now   only   half   past 

four。!As   to   seeing  me  again   today!I   cannot   answer   for   it�察  �the 

others   will   be   at   the   Hotel   all   the   Evening�察  �and   delighted   to   see 

you at any time�察�but as soon as I get back I shall hear what Arthur 

has    done    about    our   own    Lodgings�察     �and   probably     the   moment 

Dinner is over�察�shall be out again on business relative to them�察�for 

we   hope   to  get  into  some   Lodgings   or   other   and   be   settled   after 

breakfast       tomorrow。!I        have     not    much     confidence       in   poor 

Arthur¨s      skill  for   Lodging´taking�察      �but    he   seemed     to   like   the

commission。¨   `I   think   you   are   doing   too   much�察�   said   Mr。   P。   `You 

will knock yourself up。 You should not move again after Dinner。¨ 

`No�察  �indeed   you  should not�察�   cried  his   wife�察   �for   Dinner   is   such   a 

mere name with you all�察�that it can do you no good。!I know what 

your   appetites   are。¨   `My   appetite   is   very   much   mended   I   assure 

you lately。 I have been taking some Bitters of my own decocting�察�

which have done wonders。 Susan never eats I grant you!and just 

at present I shall want nothing�察�I never eat for about a week after a 

Journey!but         as  for  Arthur�察   �he   is  only  too   much    disposed     for 

Food。 We are often obliged to check him。¨!`But you have not told 

me any thing of the other Family coming to Sanditon�察� said Mr。 P。 

as he walked with her to the door of the House!`the Camberwell 

Seminary�察  �have   we   a   good   chance   of them�拭�   `Oh�   �Certain!quite 

certain。!I had forgotten them for the moment�察�but I had a letter 

three days ago from my friend Mrs。 Charles Dupuis which assured 

me   of   Camberwell。   Camberwell   will   be   here   to   a   certainty�察  �and 

very soon。!That good Woman ��I do not know her name�� not being 

so wealthy and independant as Mrs。 G。!can travel and chuse for 

herself。!I will tell you how I got at her。 Mrs。 Charles Dupuis lives 

almost   next   door   to   a   Lady�察  �who   has   a   relation   lately   settled   at 

Clapham�察�who actually attends the Seminary and gives lessons on 

Eloquence and Belles Lettres to some of the Girls。!I got that Man 

a   Hare     from    one   of  Sidney¨s     friends!and        he   recommended 

Sanditon�察�Without my appearing however!Mrs。 Charles Dupuis 

managed it all。¨

                               CHAPTER X 



      t was not a week�察  �since  Miss   Diana Parker  had been   told by 

      her  feelings�察  �that  the   Sea Air  would probably in   her   present 

Istate�察       �be   the  death    of  her�察 �and    now   she   was    at  Sanditon�察�



intending to make some Stay�察�and without appearing to have the 

slightest recollection of having written   or  felt  any  such  thing。!It 

was impossible for Charlotte not to suspect a good deal of fancy in 

such an extraordinary state of health。!Disorders and Recoveries 

so   very   much     out   of  the  common       way�察  �seemed      more    like  the 

amusement of eager Minds in want of employment than of actual 

afflictions    and    relief。  The   Parkers�察   �were    no   doubt    a  family    of 

Imagination       and    quick   feelings!and       while    the   eldest   Brother 

found     vent   for  his   superfluity    of  sensation    as   a  Projector�察   �the 

Sisters were perhaps driven to dissipate theirs in the invention of 

odd complaints。!The whole of their mental vivacity was evidently 

not so employed�察�Part was laid out in a Zeal for being useful。!It 

should   seem   that   they   must   either   be   very   busy   for   the   Good   of 

others�察�or else extremely ill themselves。 Some natural delicacy  of 

Constitution       in  fact�察 �with    an   unfortunate      turn   for   Medecine�察�

especially  quack   Medecine�察  �had   given   them   an   early  tendency at 

various   times�察  �to   various   Disorders�察�the   rest   of   their   sufferings 

was     from   Fancy�察    �the   love  of   Distinction    and    the   love   of  the 

Wonderful。!They            had    Charitable     hearts    and    many      amiable 

feelings!but   a   spirit   of   restless   activity�察  �and   the   glory   of   doing 

more     than    anybody     else�察 �had    their  share    in  every   exertion    of 

Benevolence!and there was Vanity in all they did�察�as well as in all
