de Bourgh,” said Elizabeth. “It must be something

particular, to take him there at this time of year.”

“Undoubtedly. Did you see him while you were at

Lambton? I thought I understood from the Gardiners

that you had.”

“Yes; he introduced us to his sister.”

“And do you like her?”

“Very much.”

“I have heard, indeed, that she is uncommonly

improved within this year or two. When I last saw her,

she was not very promising. I am very glad you liked

her. I hope she will turn out well.”

“I dare say she will; she has got over the most trying

age.”

“Did you go by the village of Kympton?”

“I do not recollect that we did.”

“I mention it, because it is the living which I

ought to have had. A most delightful place! Excellent

Parsonage House! It would have suited me in every

respect.”
