they endured。!Mr。 and Mrs。 P。 spent a great part of the Evening
at the Hotel�察 �but Charlotte had only two or three views of Miss
Diana posting over the Down after a House for this Lady whom
she had never seen�察 �and who had never employed her。 She was
not made acquainted with the others till the following day�察�when�察�
being removed into Lodgings and all the party continuing quite
well�察�their Brother and Sister and herself were entreated to drink
tea with them。!They were in one of the Terrace Houses!and she
found them arranged for the Evening in a small neat Drawing
room�察�with a beautiful view of the Sea if they had chosen it�察�but
though it had been a very fair English Summer´day�察�not only was
there no open window�察 �but the Sopha and the Table�察 �and the
Establishment in general was all at the other end of the room by a
brisk fire。!Miss P。 whom�察�remembering the three Teeth drawn in
one day�察�Charlotte approached with a peculiar degree of respectful
Compassion�察�was not very unlike her Sister in person or manner!
tho¨ more thin and worn by Illness and Medecine�察�more relaxed in
air�察 �and more subdued in voice。 She talked however�察 �the whole
Evening as incessantly as Diana!and excepting that she sat with
salts in her hand�察�took Drops two or three times from one�察�out of
the several Phials already at home on the Mantelpiece�察�and made
a great many odd faces and contortions�察�Charlotte could perceive
no symptoms of illness which she�察�in the boldness of her own good
health�察�would not have undertaken to cure�察�by putting out the fire�察�
opening the Window�察�and disposing of the Drops and the salts by
means of one or the other。 She had had considerable curiosity to
see Mr。 Arthur Parker�察 �and having fancied him a very puny�察�
delicate´looking young Man�察�the smallest very materially of not a
robust Family�察 �was astonished to find him quite as tall as his

Brother and a great deal Stouter!Broad made and Lusty!and
with no other look of an Invalide�察 �than a sodden complexion。!
Diana was evidently the chief of the family�察 �principal Mover and
Actor�察�she had been on her Feet the whole Morning�察�on Mrs。 G。¨s
business or their own�察�and was still the most alert of the three。!
Susan had only superintended their final removal from the Hotel�察�
bringing two heavy Boxes herself�察�and Arthur had found the air so
cold that he had merely walked from one House to the other as
nimbly as he could�察�and boasted much of sitting by the fire till he
had cooked up a very good one。!Diana�察�whose exercise had been
too domestic to admit of calculation�察�but who�察�by her own account�察�
had not once sat down during the space of seven hours�察�confessed
herself a little tired。 She had been too successful however for
much fatigue�察�for not only had she by walking and talking down a
thousand difficulties at last secured a proper House at eight
guineas per week for Mrs。 G。�察 �she had also opened so many
Treaties with Cooks�察 �Housemaids�察 �Washer´women and Bathing
Women�察�that Mrs。 G。 would have little more to do on her arrival�察�
than to wave her hand and collect them around her for choice。!
Her concluding effort in the cause�察�had been a few polite lines of
Information to Mrs。 G。 herself!time not allowing for the
circuitous train of intelligence�察�which had been hitherto kept up�察�
and she was now regaling in the delight of opening the first
Trenches of an acquaintance with such a powerful discharge of
unexpected Obligation。 Mr。 and Mrs。 P。!and Charlotte had seen
two Post chaises crossing the Down to the Hotel as they were
setting off�察�a joyful sight!and full of speculation。!The Miss
P。s!and Arthur had also seen something�察�they could distinguish
from their window that there was an arrival at the Hotel�察�but not

its amount。 Their Visitors answered for two Hack´Chaises。!Could
it be the Camberwell Seminary�拭�No!No。!Had there been a
third carriage�察�perhaps it might�察�but it was very generally agreed
that two Hack chaises could never contain a Seminary。!Mr。 P。
was confident of another new Family。!When they were all finally
seated�察 �after some removals to look at the Sea and the Hotel�察�
Charlotte¨s place was by Arthur�察�who was sitting next to the Fire
with a degree of Enjoyment which gave a good deal of merit to his
civility in wishing her to take his Chair。!There was nothing
dubious in her manner of declining it�察�and he sat down again with
much satisfaction。 She drew back her Chair to have all the
advantage of his Person as a screen�察 �and was very thankful for
every inch of Back and Shoulders beyond her pre´conceived idea。
Arthur was heavy in Eye as well as figure�察 �but by no means
indisposed to talk�察�and while the other four were chiefly engaged
together�察 �he evidently felt it no penance to have a fine young
Woman next to him�察 �requiring in common Politeness some
attention!as his Brother who felt the decided want of some
motive for action�察 �some Powerful object of animation for him�察�
observed with considerable pleasure。!Such was the influence of
Youth and Bloom that he began even to make a sort of apology for
having a Fire。 `We should not have one at home�察� said he�察 �but the
Sea air is always damp。 I am not afraid of any thing so much as
Damp。¨ `I am so fortunate�察� said C。 `as never to know whether the
air is damp or dry。 It has always some property that is wholesome
and invigorating to me。¨ `I like the Air too�察�as well as any body can�察�
replied Arthur�察 �I am very fond of standing at an open Window
when there is no Wind!but unluckily a Damp air does not like
me。!It gives me the Rheumatism。!You are not rheumatic I

suppose�拭� `Not at all。¨ `That¨s a great blessing。!But perhaps you
are nervous。¨ `No!I believe not。 I have no idea that I am。¨!`I am
very nervous。!To say the truth Nerves are the worst part of my
Complaints in my opinion。 My Sisters think me Bilious�察 �but I
doubt it。¨ `You are quite in the right�察 �to doubt it as long as you
possibly can�察 �I am sure。¨ `If I were Bilious�察� he continued�察 �you
know Wine would disagree with me�察�but it always does me good。!
