believe I can explain it Sir。!Your mistake is in the place。!There
are two Willingdens in this Country!and your advertisements
refer to the other!which is Great Willingden�察 �or Willingden

the Traveller�察 �pleasantly。 `It took us half an hour to climb your
Hill。!Well Sir!I dare say it is as you say�察 �and I have made an
abominably stupid Blunder。!All done in a moment�察�the
advertisements did not catch my eye till the last half hour of our
being in Town�察�when everything was in the hurry and confusion

Carriage is at the door!and accordingly satisfying myself with a
brief enquiry�察�and finding we were actually to pass within a mile
or two of a Willingden�察 �I sought no farther。。。 My Dear!¨ ��to his
wife�� `I am very sorry to have brought you into this Scrape。 But do
not be alarmed about my Leg。 It gives me no pain while I am
quiet�察�and as soon as these good people have succeeded in
setting the Carriage to rights and turning the Horses round�察 �the
best thing we can do will be to measure back our steps into the
Turnpike road and proceed to Hailsham�察 �and so Home�察 �without
attempting anything farther。!Two hours take us home�察 �from
Hailsham!And when once at home�察�we have our remedy at hand
you know。!A little of our own Bracing Sea Air will soon set me on
my feet again。!Depend upon it my Dear�察�it is exactly a case for
the Sea。 Saline air and immersion will be the very thing。!My
sensations tell me so already。¨!In a most friendly manner Mr。
Heywood here interposed�察 �entreating them not to think of
proceeding till the ancle had been examined�察 �and some
refreshment taken�察�and very cordially pressing them to make use
of his House for both purposes。!`We are always well stocked�察�
said he�察 �with all the common remedies for sprains and Bruises!
and I will answer for the pleasure it will give my Wife and
daughters to be of service to you and this Lady in every way in
their power。¨!A twinge or two�察�in trying to move his foot disposed
the Travellor to think rather more as he had done at first of the
benefit of immediate assistance!and consulting his wife in the
few words of `Well my Dear�察 �I believe it will be better for us。¨!

impression which the sort of wild goose´chace you find me in�察�may
have given rise to!allow me to tell you who we are。 My name is
Parker。!Mr。 Parker of Sanditon�察 �this Lady�察 �my wife Mrs。
Parker。!We are on our road home from London�察�My name
perhaps!tho¨ I am by no means the first of my Family�察 �holding
Landed Property in the Parish of Sanditon�察 �may be unknown at
this distance from the Coast!but Sanditon itself!everybody has
heard of Sanditon�察�the favourite!for a young and rising
Bathing´place�察 �certainly the favourite spot of all that are to be
found along the coast of Sussex�察�the most favoured by Nature�察�
and promising to be the most chosen by Man。¨!`Yes!I have
heard of Sanditon。¨ replied Mr。 H。!`Every five years�察�one hears of
some new place or other starting up by the Sea�察�and growing the
fashion。!How they can half of them be filled�察 �is the wonder� �
Where People can be found with Money or Time to go to them� �
Bad things for a Country�察�sure to raise the price of Provisions
and make the poor good for nothing!as I dare say you find�察�Sir。¨
`Not at all Sir�察 �not at all¨!cried Mr。 Parker eagerly。 `Quite the
contrary I assure you。!A common idea!but a mistaken one。 It
may apply to your large�察 �overgrown Places�察 �like Brighton�察 �or
Worthing�察 �or East Bourne!but not to a small Village like
Sanditon�察�precluded by its size from experiencing any of the evils
of Civilization�察 �while the growth of the place�察 �the Buildings�察 �the
Nursery Grounds�察�the demand for every thing�察�and the sure resort
of the very best Company�察�those regular�察�steady�察�private Families
of thorough Gentility and Character�察 �who are a blessing
everywhere�察 �excite the industry of the Poor and diffuse comfort
and improvement among them of every sort。!No Sir�察 �I assure
you�察�Sanditon is not a place!¨ `I do not mean to take exceptions to

any place in particular Sir�察� answered Mr。 H。!`I only think our
Coast is too full of them altogether!But had we not better try to
get you¨!`Our Coast too full¨!repeated Mr。 P。!`On that point
perhaps we may not totally disagree�察�at least there are enough。
Our Coast is abundant enough�察 �it demands no more。!Every
body¨s Taste and every body¨s finances may be suited。 And those
good people who are trying to add to the number�察 �are in my
opinion excessively absurd�察 �and must soon find themselves the
Dupes of their own fallacious Calculations。!Such a place as
Sanditon Sir�察�I may say was wanted�察�was called for。!Nature had
marked it out!had spoken in most intelligible Characters。 The
finest�察�purest Sea Breeze on the Coast!acknowledged to be so!
Excellent Bathing!fine hard Sand!Deep Water ten yards from
the Shore!no Mud!no Weeds!no slimey rocks!Never was
there a place more palpably designed by Nature for the resort of
the Invalid!the very Spot which Thousands seemed in need of。!
The most desirable distance from London� �One complete�察�
measured mile nearer than East Bourne。 Only conceive Sir�察 �the
advantage of saving a whole Mile�察 �in a long Journey。 But
Brinshore Sir�察 �which I dare say you have in your eye!the
attempts of two or three speculating People about Brinshore�察�this
last Year�察�to raise that paltry Hamlet�察�lying�察�as it does between a
stagnant marsh�察�a bleak Moor and the constant effluvia of a ridge
of putrifying sea weed�察 �can end in nothing but their own
Disappointment。 What in the name of Common Sense is to
recommend Brinshore�拭�A most insalubrious Air!Roads
proverbially detestable!Water Brackish beyond example�察�
impossible to get a good dish of Tea within three miles of the
place!and as for the Soil!it is so cold and ungrateful that it can

hardly be made to yield a Cabbage。!Depend upon it Sir�察�that this
is a faithful Description of Brinshore!not in the smallest degree
exaggerated!and if you have heard it differently spoken of!¨ `Sir
I never heard it spoken of in my Life before�察� said Mr。 Heywood。 `I
did not know there was such a place in the World。¨ `You did not� �
There my Dear!��turning with exultation to his Wife��!you see
how it is。 So much for the Celebrity of Brinshore� �This
Gentleman did not know there was such a place in the World。!
Why�察�in truth Sir�察�I fancy we may apply to Brinshore�察�that line of
the Poet Cowper in his description of the religious Cottager�察 �as
opposed to Voltaire!^She�察 �never heard of half a mile from
home。 ̄¨!`With all my Heart Sir!Apply any Verses you like to it!
