Soon after Tea�察 �a Letter was brought to Miss D。 P。 from the
Hotel。!`From Mrs。 Charles Dupuis¨!said she�察�`some private
hand。¨!And having read a few lines�察�exclaimed aloud `Well�察�this is
very extraordinary� �very extraordinary indeed� �That both should
have the same name。!Two Mrs。 Griffiths� �This is a Letter of
recommendation and introduction to me�察 �of the Lady from
Camberwell!and her name happens to be Griffiths too。¨ A few
lines more however�察 �and the colour rushed into her Cheeks�察 �and
with much Perturbation she added!`The oddest thing that ever
was� �a Miss Lambe too� �a young West´indian of large
Fortune。!But it cannot be the same。!Impossible that it should be
the same。!She read the Letter aloud for comfort。!It was merely
to `introduce the Bearer�察 �Mrs。 G。! from Camberwell�察 �and the
three young Ladies under her care�察 �to Miss D。 P。¨s notice。 Mrs。
G。! being a stranger at Sanditon�察 �was anxious for a respectable

Introduction!and Mrs。 C。 Dupuis therefore�察�at the instance of the
intermediate friend�察 �provided her with this Letter�察 �knowing that
she could not do her dear Diana a greater kindness than by giving
her the means of being useful。!Mrs。 G。¨s chief solicitude would be
for the accommodation and comfort of one of the young Ladies
under her care�察�a Miss Lambe�察�a young W。 Indian of large Fortune�察�
in delicate health。¨!`It was very strange� �very remarkable� �very
extraordinary¨ but they were all agreed in determining it to be
impossible that there should not be two Families�察 �such a totally
distinct set of people as were concerned in the reports of each
made that matter quite certain。 There must be two Families。!
Impossible to be otherwise。 `Impossible¨ and `Impossible¨�察 �was
repeated over and over again with great fervour。!An accidental
resemblance of Names and circumstances�察 �however striking at
first�察 �involved nothing really incredible!and so it was settled。!
Miss Diana herself derived an immediate advantage to
counterbalance her Perplexity。 She must put her shawl over her
shoulders�察�and be running about again。 Tired as she was�察�she must
instantly repair to the Hotel�察�to investigate the truth and offer her
services。

CHAPTER XI
t would not do。!Not all that the whole Parker race could say
Iamong themselves�察 �could produce a happier catastroph└e
than that the Family from Surry and the Family from
Camberwell were one and the same。!The rich West´indians�察�and
the young Ladies Seminary had all entered Sanditon in those two
Hack chaises。 The Mrs。 G。 who in her friend Mrs。 Darling¨s hands�察�
had wavered as to coming and been unequal to the Journey�察�was
the very same Mrs。 G。 whose plans were at the same period ��under
another representation�� perfectly decided�察 �and who was without
fears or difficulties。!All that had the appearance of Incongruity in
the reports of the two�察�might very fairly be placed to the account of
the Vanity�察�the Ignorance�察�or the blunders of the many engaged in
the cause by the vigilance and caution of Miss Diana P。!Her
intimate friends must be officious like herself�察�and the subject had
supplied Letters and Extracts and Messages enough to make
everything appear what it was not。 Miss D。 probably felt a little
awkward on being first obliged to admit her mistake。 A long
Journey from Hampshire taken for nothing!a Brother
disappointed!an expensive House on her hands for a week�察�must
have been some of her immediate reflections!and much worse
than all the rest�察�must have been the sort of sensation of being less
clear´sighted and infallible than she had believed herself。!No
part of it however seemed to trouble her long。 There were so many
to share in the shame and the blame�察�that probably when she had
divided out their proper portions to Mrs。 Darling�察 �Miss Capper�察�

Fanny Noyce�察 �Mrs。 Dupuis and Mrs。 C。D。¨s Neighbour�察 �there
might be a mere trifle of reproach remaining for herself。!At any
rate�察 �she was seen all the following morning walking about after
Lodgings with Mrs。 G。!as alert as ever。!Mrs。 G。 was a very well´
behaved�察 �genteel kind of Woman�察 �who supported herself by
receiving such great girls and young Ladies�察 �as wanted either
Masters for finishing their Education�察 �or a home for beginning
their Displays!She had several more under her care than the
three who were now come to Sanditon�察 �but the others all
happened to be absent。!Of these three�察 �and indeed of all�察 �Miss
Lambe was beyond comparison the most important and precious�察�
as she paid in proportion to her fortune。!She was about
seventeen�察�half Mulatto�察�chilly and tender�察�had a maid of her own�察�
was to have the best room in the Lodgings�察�and was always of the
first consequence in every plan of Mrs。 G。!The other Girls�察 �two
Miss Beauforts were just such young Ladies as may be met with�察�
in at least one family out of three�察�throughout the Kingdom�察�they
had tolerable complexions�察 �shewey figures�察 �an upright decided
carriage and an assured Look�察�they were very accomplished and
very Ignorant�察�their time being divided between such pursuits as
might attract admiration�察 �and those Labours and Expedients of
dexterous Ingenuity�察 �by which they could dress in a stile much
beyond what they ought to have afforded�察 �they were some of the
first in every change of fashion and the object of all�察 �was to
captivate some Man of much better fortune than their own。!Mrs。
G。 had preferred a small�察 �retired place�察 �like Sanditon�察 �on Miss
Lambe¨s account!and the Miss B。s�察 �though naturally preferring
any thing to Smallness and Retirement�察�yet having in the course of
the Spring been involved in the inevitable expense of six new

Dresses each for a three days visit�察�were constrained to be satisfied
with Sanditon also�察�till their circumstances were retrieved。 There�察�

paper for the other and all the finery they could already command�察�
