shade enough on the Hill and more than enough in the course of a 

very    few    years�察�The       Growth     of   my   Plantations      is  a  general 

astonishment。   In   the   mean   while   we   have   the        Canvas   Awning�察�

can get a Parasol at Whitby¨s for little Mary at any time�察�or a large 

Bonnet at Jebb¨s!and as for the Boys�察�I must say I would rather 

them run about in the Sunshine than not。 I am sure we agree my 

dear�察   �in   wishing    our   Boys    to   be   as  hardy    as   possible。¨!`Yes 

indeed�察  �I   am   sure   we   do!and   I   will     get   Mary   a  little  Parasol�察�

which will make her as proud as can be。 How Grave she will walk 

about with it�察�and fancy herself quite a little Woman。!Oh� �I have

not the smallest doubt of  our  being  a  great  deal   better  off  where 

we are now。 If we any of us want to bathe�察�we have not a quarter of 

a mile to go。!But you know�察。�still looking back�� one loves to look 

at   an   old  friend�察  �at  a  place    where    one    has   been   happy。!The 

Hilliers    did   not   seem    to  feel  the   Storms     last  Winter    at  all。!I 

remember seeing  Mrs。  Hillier after  one  of  those  dreadful   Nights�察�

when  we  had   been   literally   rocked   in   our   bed�察  �and   she   did   not 

seem at all aware of the Wind being anything more than common。¨ 

`Yes�察  �yes!that¨s   likely   enough。  We  have   all   the   Grandeur   of   the 

Storm�察     �with   less  real   danger�察   �because     the   Wind    meeting     with 

nothing   to   oppose   or   confine   it   around   our   House�察  �simply   rages 

and   passes   on!while   down   in   this   Gutter!nothing   is   known   of 

the    state   of  the   Air�察  �below    the   Tops     of  the   Trees!and        the 

Inhabitants       may    be   taken    totally   unawares�察     �by   one    of  those 

dreadful Currents which do more mischief in a Valley�察�when they 

do  arise   than   an   open   Country   ever   experiences   in   the   heaviest 

Gale。!But   my   dear   Love!as   to   Gardenstuff�察�you   were   saying 

that any accidental omission is supplied in a moment by Lady D。¨s 

Gardiner!but it occurs to me that we ought to go elsewhere upon 

such occasions!and   that  old Stringer  and   his   son   have   a  higher 

claim。 I encouraged him to set up!and am afraid he does not do 

very well!that is�察�there has not been time enough yet。!He will do 

very    well   beyond     a  doubt!but       at  first  it  is  Uphill   work�察   �and 

therefore   we   must   give   him   what   Help   we   can!and   when   any 

Vegetables or fruit happen to be wanted!and it will not be amiss 

to have them often wanted�察�to have something or other forgotten 

most days�察�Just to have a nominal supply you know�察�that poor old 

Andrew may not lose his daily Job!but in fact to buy the chief of 

our consumption of the Stringers。¨ `Very well my Love�察�that can be

easily   done!and        Cook    will  be   satisfied!which   will      be   a  great 

comfort�察  �for   she   is   always   complaining   of   old   Andrew   now�察  �and 

says   he   never   brings   her   what   she   wants。!There!now   the   old 

House is quite left behind。!What is it�察�your Brother Sidney says 

about it¨s being a Hospital�拭� `Oh� �my dear Mary�察�merely a Joke of 

his。 He pretends to advise me to make a Hospital of it。 He pretends 

to laugh at my Improvements。 Sidney says any thing you know。 He 

has always said what he chose of and to us�察�all。 Most Families have 

such a member among them I believe Miss Heywood。!There is a 

someone in most families privileged by superior abilities or spirits 

to say anything。!In ours�察�it is Sidney�察�who is a very clever Young 

Man�察�and   with  great  powers   of  pleasing。!He lives   too   much  in 

the World to be settled�察�that is his only fault。!He is here and there 

and every where。 I wish we may get him to Sanditon。 I should like 

to have you acquainted with him。!And it would be a fine thing for 

the Place� �Such a young Man as Sidney�察�with his neat equipage 

and fashionable air�察�You and   I   Mary�察  �know  what  effect  it  might 

have�此�Many a respectable Family�察�many a careful Mother�察�many a 

pretty Daughter�察�might it secure us�察�to the prejudice of E。 Bourne

village  of Sanditon�察  �which  stood at  the  foot  of  the  Hill   they   were 

afterwards   to   ascend!a   Hill�察  �whose   side   was   covered          with   the 

Woods      and    enclosures     of  Sanditon      House     and   whose     Height 

ended in an open Down where the  new  Buildings   might  soon   be 

looked   for。 A   branch  only�察  �of  the   Valley�察  �winding  more   obliquely 

towards the Sea�察�gave a passage to an inconsiderable Stream�察�and 

formed at its mouth�察�a third Habitable Division�察�in a small cluster 

of   Fisherman¨s   Houses。!The   Village   contained   little   more   than 

Cottages�察  �but   the   Spirit   of   the   day   had   been   caught�察  �as   Mr。   P。

observed with delight to Charlotte�察�and two or three of the best of 

them   were   smartened   up   with   a   white   Curtain   and   `Lodgings   to 

let¨�察�and farther on�察�in the little Green Court of an old Farm House�察�

two Females in elegant white were actually to be seen   with  their 

books and camp stools!and in turning the corner of the Baker¨s 

shop�察   �the   sound    of   a  Harp   might   be   heard     through    the   upper 

Casement。!Such   sights   and   sounds   were   highly   Blissful   to   Mr。 

P。!Not   that   he   had   any   personal   concern   in   the   success   of   the 

Village itself�察�for considering it as too remote from the Beach�察�he 

had   done   nothing  there!but  it  was a   most  valuable  proof  of   the 

increasing      fashion    of  the  place    altogether。    If  the Village    could 

attract�察�the Hill might be nearly full。!He anticipated an amazing 

Season。!At  the   same  time last  year�察  。�late   in   July��   there   had   not 

been   a   single   Lodger   in   the   Village� �nor   did   he   remember   any 

during the whole Summer�察  �excepting  one   family  of   children   who 

came from London for sea air after the hooping Cough�察�and whose 

Mother   would   not   let   them   be   nearer   the   shore   for   fear   of   their 

tumbling       in。!`Civilization�察     �Civilization    indeed� �!cried        Mr。   P。�察�

delighted。      `Look     my    dear    Mary!Look          at   William     Heeley¨s 

windows。!Blue           Shoes�察   �and    nankin     Boots� �Who         would     have 

expected such a sight at a Shoemaker¨s in old Sanditon� �This is 

new within the Month。 There was no blue Shoe when we passed 

this   way   a   month   ago。!Glorious         indeed� �Well�察       �I   think   I have 

done     something       in  my    Day。!Now�察       �for   our   Hill�察 �our    health´

Sanditon   House�察  �and   saw   the   top   of   the   House   itself   among   its

Curiosity�察  �and   by   Mr。   P。   with   the   eager   eye   which   hoped   to   see 

scarcely   any   empty   houses。!More   Bills   at   the   Window   than   he 

had calculated on�察�and a smaller shew of company on the Hill! 

Fewer Carriages�察�fewer Walkers。 He had fancied it just the time of 

day for them to be all returning from their Airings to dinner!But 

the   Sands   and   the   Terrace   always   attracted   some�察  �and   the   Tide 

must   be   flowing!about   half´Tide   now。!He   longed   to   be   on   the 

Sands�察  �the   Cliffs�察  �at   his   own   House�察  �and   everywhere   out   of   his 

House at once。 His Spirits rose with the very sight of the Sea and

detached   from   it�察  �the   Hotel   and   Billiard   Room!Here   began   the 

Descent to the Beach�察�and to the Bathing Machines!and this was
