us i feel it more said mrs it was a very cold day with cutting of wind mrs s peculiar corner of the fireside seemed to me to be the and in the place as her chair was certainly the easiest but it didn t suit her that day at all she was constantly complaining of the cold and of david of its a in her back which she called the at last she shed tears on that subject and said again that she was a lone and went with her it is certainly very cold said everybody must feel it so i feel it more than other people said mrs so at dinner when mrs was always helped immediately after me to whom the preference was given as a visitor of distinction the fish were small and bony and the potatoes were a little burnt we all acknowledged that we felt this something of a disappointment but mrs said she felt it more than we did and shed tears again and made that former declaration with great bitterness accordingly when mr came home about nine o clock this unfortunate mrs was knitting in her corner in a very wretched and miserable condition had been working cheerfully ham had been up a great pair of water boots and i with little em ly by my side had been reading to them mrs had never made any other remark than a forlorn sigh and had never raised her eyes since tea well mates said mr taking his seat and how are you we all said something or looked something to welcome him except mrs who only shook her head over her knitting what s amiss said mr with a clap of his hands cheer up old mr meant old girl mrs did not appear to be able to cheer up she took out an old black silk handkerchief and wiped her eyes but instead of putting it in her pocket kept it out and wiped them again and still kept it out ready for use what s amiss dame said mr nothing returned mrs you ve come from the dan l why yes i ve took a short spell at the willing mind to night said mr i m sorry i should drive you there said mrs drive i don t want no driving ned mr with an honest laugh i only go too ready very ready said mrs shaking her head and wiping her eyes yes yes very ready i am sorry it should be along of me that you re so ready along o you it an t along o you said mr don t ye believe a bit on it yes yes it is cried mrs i know what i am i know that i m a lone and not only that goes with me but that i go everybody yes yes i feel more than other people do and i show it more it s my i really couldn t help thinking as i sat taking in all this that the misfortune extended to some other members of that family besides mrs but mr made no such retort only answering with another entreaty to mrs to cheer up the personal history experience i an t wliat i could wish myself to be said mrs i am far from it i know what i am my troubles has made me i feel my troubles and they make me i wish i did nt feel em but i do i wish i could be hardened to em but i an t i make the house uncomfortable i don t wonder at it i ve made your sister so all day and master here i was suddenly melted and roared out no you have nt in great mental distress it s far from right that i should do it said it an t a fit return i had better go into the house and die i am a lone and had much better not make myself here if thinks must go with me and i must go myself let me go contrary in my parish dan l i d better go into the house and die and be a mrs retired with these words and herself to bed when she was gone mr who had not exhibited a trace of any feeling but the sympathy looked round upon us and nodding his head with a lively expression of that sentiment still his face said in a whisper � she s been thinking of the old un i did not quite understand what old one mrs was supposed to have fixed her mind upon until on seeing me to bed explained that it was the late mr and that her brother always took that for a received truth on such occasions and that it always had a moving upon him some time after he was in his that night i heard him myself repeat to ham poor thing she s been thinking of the old un and whenever mrs was overcome in a similar manner during the remainder of our stay which happened some few times he always said the same thing in of the and always with the tenderest so the fortnight slipped away varied by nothing but the of the tide which altered mi s times of going out and coming in and altered ham s engagements also when the latter was he sometimes walked with us to show us the boats and ships and once or twice he took us for a row i don t know why one slight set of impressions should be more particularly associated with a place than another though i believe this with most people in reference especially to the associations of their childhood i never hear the name or read the name of but i am reminded of a certain sunday morning on the beach the bells ringing for church little em
