Madame de Moncontour's pony-carriage was constantly trotting between Rosebury and Newcome in these days of calamity. And my wife, as in duty bound, gave me full reports of all that happened in that house of mourning. On the very day of the flight, Lady Anne, her daughter, and some others of her family arrived at Newcome.
The poor little maid got into the street just when the shades of evening were beginning to fall. She had the Pink in her basket, and fifteen shillings clasped tightly inside one of her gloves. Fifteen shillings paid for a third single to Rosebury, and she was going to Rosebury so far her plans were definite enough; beyond this broad fact, however, all was chaos.
The 'paglietti' who abound in Naples only live by cheating, and especially by imposing on strangers. Sir Rosebury remained at Naples, and I found myself acquainted with all the English visitors. They all lodged at "Crocielles," for the English are like a flock of sheep; they follow each other about, always go to the came place, and never care to shew any originality.
"Besides, Florac will be in the country; going to Rosebury is a journey worth the taking, I can tell you; and we have old Mrs. Mason to go and see, who sighs after you, Colonel. My wife went to see her," remarks Mr. Pendennis, "and " "And Miss Newcome, I know," says the Colonel. "She is away at Brighton, with her little charges, for sea air. My wife heard from her to-day." "Oh, indeed. Mrs.
Primrose had in reality a very practical nature; she could housekeep well, and no baker or butcher who ventured to show his face in Rosebury would dream of cheating this bright young lady. No one could make half-a-crown, or even a shilling, go farther than Primrose could. No one could more cleverly convert an old dress into a new, but her little experiences ended here.
The two who talked so earnestly were women women with kind and large hearts, and their theme was engrossing. Mrs. Ellsworthy bound herself by no promises, but she contrived to send the governess away with a heart full of hope. Mrs. Ellsworthy had never yet called on any of the people who lived in the straggling village of Rosebury.
In short, she would attack the one and only rich person who lived in the neighborhood of Rosebury. Shortlands was a big place, and the Ellsworthys were undoubtedly big people. Money with them was plentiful. They considered themselves county folk; they lived in what the Rosebury people believed to be royal style.
It is difficult to decide on the correct spelling of Roseberry Topping, as it is often spelt in the same way as the earldom, and as frequently in old writings it appears as 'Rosebury. Camden, who wrote in Tudor times, called it Ounsberry Topping, which certainly does not help matters.
He boarded with the Kanaka lady at Hello till his money give out, and then he married her to save board. He wouldn't talk about his married life just shivered instead. "'But w'at about this good thing you was mentioning, Mr. Rosebury? asks Cap'n George, polite, but staring hard at the bag. Jule and the cook was in the cabin likewise.
When at last, after inconceivable difficulties after being jostled about by an indifferent crowd, and pushed rudely against by more than one stupid, blundering porter she did find her way to the right ticket-office, and did secure her single third to Rosebury, and then get a very small allowance of room in a crowded third-class carriage her heart was beating so loudly that she almost wondered it did not burst.
