than to wave her hand and collect them around her for choice。! 

Her concluding effort in the cause�察�had been a few polite lines of 

Information        to   Mrs。    G。   herself!time       not    allowing     for   the 

circuitous train of intelligence�察�which had been hitherto kept up�察�

Trenches   of   an   acquaintance   with   such   a   powerful   discharge   of 

unexpected Obligation。 Mr。 and Mrs。 P。!and Charlotte had   seen 

two   Post   chaises   crossing   the   Down   to   the   Hotel   as     they   were 

setting    off�察�a    joyful   sight!and      full  of  speculation。!The         Miss 

P。s!and Arthur had also seen something�察�they could distinguish 

from their window that there was  an arrival at the Hotel�察�but not

its amount。 Their Visitors answered for two Hack´Chaises。!Could 

it   be  the   Camberwell      Seminary�拭�No!No。!Had                  there   been   a 

third carriage�察�perhaps it might�察�but it was very generally agreed 

that   two   Hack   chaises   could   never   contain   a   Seminary。!Mr。   P。 

was confident of another new Family。!When they were all finally 

seated�察  �after   some     removals     to   look  at   the  Sea  and    the  Hotel�察�

Charlotte¨s place was by Arthur�察�who was sitting next to the Fire 

with a degree of Enjoyment which gave a good deal of merit to his 

civility   in  wishing     her   to  take   his   Chair。!There        was   nothing 

dubious in her manner of declining it�察�and he sat down again with 

much      satisfaction。    She    drew    back    her   Chair    to  have    all  the 

advantage   of   his   Person   as   a   screen�察  �and   was   very   thankful   for 

every inch of Back and Shoulders beyond her pre´conceived idea。 

Arthur     was    heavy    in  Eye   as   well  as  figure�察  �but   by   no   means 

indisposed to talk�察�and while the other four were chiefly engaged 

together�察    �he  evidently   felt   it   no  penance    to  have    a  fine  young 

Woman        next   to   him�察   �requiring     in  common       Politeness     some 

attention!as        his  Brother     who    felt  the  decided     want    of  some 

motive     for  action�察  �some     Powerful     object   of  animation     for  him�察�

observed with considerable pleasure。!Such  was  the   influence   of 

Youth and Bloom that he began even to make a sort of apology for 

having a Fire。 `We should not have one at home�察� said he�察 �but the 

Sea air  is  always   damp。   I am not  afraid   of  any  thing  so much  as 

Damp。¨ `I am so fortunate�察� said C。 `as never to know whether the 

air is damp or dry。 It has always some property that is wholesome 

and invigorating to me。¨ `I like the Air too�察�as well as any body can�察� 

replied   Arthur�察   �I   am   very   fond   of   standing   at   an   open   Window 

when   there   is   no  Wind!but   unluckily   a   Damp   air   does   not   like 

me。!It      gives   me    the   Rheumatism。!You           are   not   rheumatic      I

suppose�拭� `Not  at  all。¨  `That¨s   a  great  blessing。!But  perhaps   you 

are nervous。¨ `No!I believe not。 I have no idea that I am。¨!`I am 

very nervous。!To say the truth  Nerves   are   the   worst  part  of  my 

Complaints       in  my   opinion。     My   Sisters    think   me    Bilious�察  �but   I 

doubt   it。¨   `You   are   quite   in   the   right�察  �to   doubt   it   as   long   as   you 

possibly   can�察  �I   am   sure。¨   `If   I   were   Bilious�察�   he   continued�察   �you 

know Wine would disagree with me�察�but it always does me good。! 

The   more   Wine   I   drink   ��in   Moderation��   the   better   I   am。!I   am 

always   best   of    an  Evening。!If       you   had    seen   me   to´day   before 

Dinner�察     �you   would     have    thought     me    a   very   poor    Creature。¨ 

Charlotte could believe it。 She kept her countenance however�察�and 

said!`As far as I can understand what nervous complaints are�察�I 

have   a   great   idea   of   the   efficacy   of   air   and   exercise   for   them�此� 

daily�察�regular Exercise�察�and I should recommend rather more of 

it to you than I suspect you are in the habit of taking。¨!`Oh� �I am 

very   fond   of   exercise   myself¨!he   replied!`and   mean   to   walk   a 

great deal while I am here�察�if the Weather is temperate。 I shall be 

out every morning before breakfast!and take several turns upon 

the Terrace�察�and you will often see me at Trafalgar House。¨!`But 

you do not call a walk to Trafalgar House much exercise�拭� `Not�察�as 

to mere distance�察�but the Hill is so steep� �Walking up that Hill�察�in 

the middle of the day�察�would throw me into such a Perspiration� � 

You would see me all in a Bath by the time I got there� �I am very 

subject     to  Perspiration�察     �and    there   cannot     be   a  surer   sign    of 

Nervousness。¨ They were now advancing so deep in Physics�察�that 

Charlotte viewed the entrance of the Servant with the Tea things�察�

as    a   very   fortunate     Interruption。!It        produced       a  great    and 

immediate       change。     The   young     Man¨s    attentions     were    instantly 

lost。   He    took   his   own    Cocoa     from    the   Tray�察�which        seemed

in company�察�Miss P。 drinking one sort of Herb´Tea and Miss Diana 

another�察     �and   turning    completely      to  the   Fire�察  �sat  coddling     and 

cooking      it  to  his  own    satisfaction    and    toasting    some    Slices   of 

Bread�察  �brought   up   ready´prepared   in   the   Toast   rack!and   till   it 

was all done�察�she heard nothing of his voice but the murmuring of 

a   few   broken   sentences   of   self´approbation   and   success。!When 

his   Toils   were   over   however�察  �he   moved   back   his   Chair   into   as 

gallant a Line as ever�察�and proved that he had not  been   working 

only for himself�察�by his earnest invitation to her to take both Cocoa 

and     Toast。!She       was    already    helped     to  Tea!which        surprised 

him!so   totally   self´engrossed   had   he  been。!`I   thought   I   should 

have     been    in  time�察�   said   he�察   �but  cocoa    takes    a  great   deal   of 

Boiling。¨!`I   am   much   obliged   to   you�察�   replied   Charlotte!`but   I 

prefer  Tea。¨   `Then   I   will   help   myself�察�   said   he。!`A   large   Dish   of 

rather weak Cocoa every evening�察�agrees with me better than any 

thing。¨!It struck her however�察�as he poured out this rather weak 

Cocoa�察�that it came forth in a very fine�察�dark coloured stream!and 

at the same moment�察�his Sisters both crying out!`Oh� �Arthur�察�you 

get    your    Cocoa     stronger     and    stronger     every     Evening¨�察    �with 

Arthur¨s somewhat conscious reply of  `Tis rather stronger than it 

should be tonight¨!convinced her that Arthur was by no means so 

fond   of   being   starved   as   they   could   desire�察  �or   as   he   felt   proper 

himself。!He was certainly very happy to turn the conversation on 

dry  Toast�察  �and   hear  no   more   of   his   sisters。!`I   hope   you   will   eat 

some of this Toast�察� said he�察 �I reckon myself a very good Toaster�察�I 

never   burn   my   Toasts!I   never   put   them           too   near   the  Fire   at

quantity   of   Butter   spread   over   it�察  �very   much¨!said   Charlotte! 

`but not otherwise。¨ `No more do I¨!said he exceedingly pleased! 

`We     think    quite    alike   there。!So       far   from    dry   Toast     being 

wholesome�察�I think it a very bad thing for the Stomach。 Without a 

little butter to soften it�察�it hurts the Coats of the Stomach I am sure 

it   does。!I     will  have    the   pleasure     of  spreading     some     for  you 

directly!and afterwards I will spread some for myself。!Very bad 

indeed for the  Coats   of  the  Stomach!but  there  is no  convincing 

some people。!It irritates and acts like a nutmeg grater。¨ He could

Sisters     accusing     him    of   eating    a  great    deal   too   much�察    �and

accuracy of Judgement which at least delighted himself�察�but when
