day。¨!`I am sorry to hear it�察�indeed�察�but if this is the case I hope 

Arthur will come to us。¨!`If Arthur takes my advice�察�he will go to 

bed   too�察  �for   if   he   stays   up   by   himself�察  �he   will   certainly   eat   and 

drink more than he ought�察�but you see Mary�察�how impossible it is 

for me to go with you to Lady Denham¨s。¨!`Upon second thoughts 

Mary�察� said her husband�察 �I will not trouble you to speak about the 

Mullins。!I  will   take  an   opportunity  of  seeing  Lady  D。 myself。!I 

know how little it suits you to be pressing matters upon a Mind at 

all   unwilling。¨!His      application   thus   withdrawn�察  �his   sister   could 

say no more in support of hers�察�which was his object�察�as he felt all 

their  impropriety  and   all  the   certainty  of  their  ill  effect   upon   his 

own better claim。!Mrs P。 was delighted at this release�察�and set off 

very   happy   with   her   friend      and    her   little  girl�察 �on  this  walk   to 

Sanditon   House。!It   was   a   close�察  �misty   morning�察  �and   when   they 

reached the brow of the Hill�察�they could not  for  some   time   make 

out   what   sort   of   Carriage   it   was�察  �which   they   saw   coming   up。   It 

appeared   at  different  moments   to   be   everything   from   the   Gig   to 

the    Pheaton�察   �from     one    horse    to  four�察  �and    just  as   they    were 

concluding        in  favour    of   a  Tandem�察      �little  Mary¨s    young     eyes 

distinguished        the  Coachman        and    she   eagerly    called    out�察  �¨Tis 

Uncle Sidney Mama�察�it is indeed。¨ And so it  proved。!Mr。 Sidney 

Parker      driving    his  Servant     in  a   very   neat   Carriage     was    soon 

opposite   to   them�察  �and   they   all   stopped   for   a   few   minutes。      The 

manners of the Parkers were always pleasant among themselves! 

and it was a very friendly meeting between Sidney and his sister´ 

in´law�察�who was most kindly taking it for granted that he was on 

his   way   to   Trafalgar   House。   This   he   declined   however。   `He   was 

just come from Eastbourne�察�proposing to spend two or three days�察�

as    it  might    happen�察    �at  Sanditon!but         the   Hotel    must    be   his

Quarters!He          was   expecting   to    be   joined    there   by   a  friend   or 

two。¨!The   rest   was   common   enquiries   and   remarks�察  �with   kind 

notice of little Mary�察�and a very well´bred Bow and proper address 

to Miss Heywood on her being named to him!and they parted�察�to 

meet again   within   a   few  hours。!Sidney  Parker  was   about  seven 

or eight and twenty�察�very good´looking�察�with a decided air of Ease 

and Fashion�察�and a lively countenance。!This adventure afforded 

agreable   discussion   for   some   time。   Mrs。   P。   entered   into   all   her 

Husband¨s   joy   on   the   occasion�察  �and   exulted   in   the   credit   which 

Sidney¨s arrival would give to the place。 The road to Sanditon H。 

was   a   broad�察  �handsome�察  �planted   approach�察  �between   fields�察  �and 

conducting at the end of a quarter of a mile through second Gates 

into the Grounds�察�which though not extensive had all the Beauty 

and Respectability which an abundance of very fine Timber could 

give。!These        Entrance      Gates    were    so   much   in   a  corner    of  the 

Grounds       or   Paddock�察    �so   near    one   of  its  Boundaries�察      �that   an 

outside     fence   was   at   first   almost   pressing    on   the   road!till     an 

angle here�察�and a curve there threw them to a better distance。 The 

Fence      was    a  proper    Park     paling   in   excellent    condition�察    �with 

clusters     of  fine  Elms�察   �or  rows    of  old   Thorns     following    its  line 

almost   every   where。!Almost  must   be   stipulated!for   there   were 

vacant   spaces!and   through   one   of   these�察  �Charlotte   as   soon   as 

they   entered   the   Enclosure�察  �caught   a   glimpse   over   the   pales   of 

something White and Womanish in the field on the other side�察�it 

was     something      which     immediately       brought     Miss    B。   into   her 

head!and         stepping     to   the   pales�察  �she    saw    indeed!and        very 

decidedly�察�in spite of the Mist�察�Miss B。 seated�察�not far before her�察�at 

the   foot   of   the   bank   which   sloped   down   from   the   outside   of   the 

Paling   and     which   a   narrow   Path   seemed         to  skirt  along�察�Miss

Brereton seated apparently very composedly!and Sir E。D。 by her 

side。!They        were    sitting   so   near   each    other   and    appeared      so 

closely engaged in gentle conversation�察�that Charlotte instantly felt 

she    had   nothing     to  do   but   to  step   back    again�察  �and    say  not   a 

word。!Privacy was certainly their object。!It could not but strike 

her   rather   unfavourably   with   regard   to   Clara�察�but   hers   was            a 

situation which must not be judged with  severity。!She   was   glad 

to   perceive   that   nothing   had   been   discerned   by   Mrs   Parker�察  �If 

Charlotte   had   not   been   considerably   the   tallest   of   the   two�察  �Miss 

B。¨s   white   ribbons   might   not   have   fallen   within   the   ken   of     her 

more       observant      eyes。!Among           other     points     of   moralising 

reflection which the sight of this Tete a Tete produced�察�Charlotte 

could not but think of the extreme difficulty which  secret  Lovers 

must  have  in   finding  a   proper   spot   for   their   stolen   Interviews。! 

Here   perhaps   they   had       thought   themselves        so   perfectly   secure 

from     observation!the         whole     field  open    before    them!a       steep 

bank and Pales never crossed by the foot  of  Man at  their  back! 

and a great thickness of air�察�in aid。 Yet here�察�she had seen them。 

They  were   really   ill´used。!The   House   was   large   and   handsome�察�

two    Servants      appeared�察    �to  admit    them�察    �and   everything      had   a 

suitable air of Property and Order。!Lady D。 valued herself upon 

her  liberal   Establishment�察�and   had   great   enjoyment   in   the   order 

and the Importance of her style of living。!They were shewn into 

the    usual   sitting   room�察   �well´proportioned        and   well´furnished�察� 

tho¨   it   was   Furniture   rather   originally   good   and   extremely   well 

kept�察    �than   new     or   shewey!and         as   Lady    D。   was    not   there�察�

Charlotte had leisure to look about�察�and to be told by Mrs。 P。 that 

the   whole´length   Portrait   of   a   stately   Gentleman�察  �which   placed 

over the Mantlepeice�察�caught the eye immediately�察�was the picture
