tea here she was with the almost all monday she went to learn to make feather of miss and they kept her to dinner which was rather lucky as we were called upon to meet mrs and miss the same evening at the and though was of course invited too i think it always safest to keep her away from the family lest she should be doing too little or too much mrs and robert with my aunt and her daughter came from for a day and a night � all very agreeable and veiy much delighted with the new house and with in general we sat upstairs and had thunder and lightning letters of jane as i never knew such a spring for thunder storms as it has been thank god we have had no bad ones here i thought myself in luck to have my uncomfortable feelings shared by the mistress of the house as that procured blinds and candles it had been hot the whole mrs is a good looking woman but not much like mrs inasmuch as she is yery brown and has scarcely any teeth she seems to have some of mrs s civility miss h is an elegant pleasing pretty looking girl about nineteen i suppose or nineteen and a half or nineteen and a quarter with flowers in her head and music at her finger ends she plays very well indeed i have seldom heard anybody with more pleasure they were at four or five years ago my cousin long was there last year my name is how does like it what a change in the weather we have a fire again now sleeps at the great house to night and to morrow with us and the plan is that we should all walk with her to drink tea at for her mother is now recovered but the state of the weather is not very promising at present miss has been returned to her cottage since the beginning of last week and has now just got another girl she comes from for many of jane days miss b nobody with her but her niece elizabeth who was delighted to be her visitor and her maid they both dined here on saturday while was at and last night an accidental meeting and a sudden impulse produced miss and maria at our if you have not heard it is very fit you should that mr has had the living of given him by the bishop and is going to reside there and now it is said that mr beautiful wants to have the of and if he does leave james wishes to go there fare you well yours affectionately jane the chimneys at the great house are done mr has opened a gravel pit very conveniently for my mother just at the mouth of the approach to his house but it looks a little as if he meant to catch all his company tolerable gravel miss park june by this time my dearest you know s plans i was rather disappointed i confess to find that she could not leave town till letters of jane after je thy as i had hoped to see yon here the week the delay however is not great and everything seems generally arranging itself for your return very i found henry perfectly to bring you to london if agreeable to yourself he has not fixed his day for going into but he must be back again before ye th you may therefore think with something like certainty of the close of your visit and will have i suppose about a week for street he travels in his and should the weather be tolerable i think you must have a delightful journey i have given up all idea of miss travelling with you and for though you are both all compliance with my scheme yet as you knock off a week from the end of her visit and rather more from the beginning the thing is out of the question i have written to her to say that after the middle of july we shall be happy to receive her and i have added a welcome if she could make her way hither directly but i do not expect that she will i have also sent our invitation to we are very sorry for the disappointment you have all had in lady b s illness but a division of the proposed party is with you by this time and i hope may have brought you a better account of the rest of jane give my and thanks to has written me things of your looks and me yery much by poor mis c a continued perplexity i had a few lines from henry on tuesday to prepare us for himself and his friend and by the time that i had made the provision of a neck of mutton on the occasion they drove into the court but lest you should not immediately recollect in how many hours a neck of mutton may be certainly procured i add that they came a little after twelve � both tall and well and in their different degrees agreeable it was a visit of only twenty four hours but very pleasant while it lasted mr took a sketch of the great house before dinner and after dinner we all three walked to park meaning to go into it but it was too dirty and we were obliged to keep on the outside mr admired the trees very much but grieved that they should not be turned into money my mother s cold is better and i believe she only wants dry weather to be very well it was a great distress to her that should be absent during her uncle s visit a distress which i could not share she does not return from till this evening and i doubt not has had plenty
