I think you shall come with me to the Amberleys' garden-party this afternoon, and not Ella, as we are dining out this evening. You had better stay at home and rest, Ella. In this, and countless other ways, was Ella made to feel that she was in disgrace. Nor did Flossie spare her sister when they were alone.
At this period, as she had an accessible home in the pleasant city of Hartford, strangers and travelers often sought and found her. In one of her familiar notes of 1867 she wrote: "The Amberleys have written that they are coming to us to-morrow, and of all times, accordingly, our furnace must spring a leak.
Then the Amberleys the Rector, his wife and daughter Susy were pleasant people "Susy is a particular friend of mine. It'll be jolly if you like her." "Oh, no, she won't take to me!" said Delia with decision. "Why not?" But Delia only shook her head, a little contemptuously. "We shall see," said Winnington. "Well, good night. Remember, anything I can do for you here I am."
If Papa hadn't done this fatal, foolish thing, of course we should have made friends!" The Amberleys walked home together when the party dispersed. Mrs. Amberley opened the discussion on the newcomers. "She is certainly handsome, but rather bold-looking. Didn't you think so, father?" "I wasn't drawn to her. But she took no account of us," said the Rector, with his usual despondent candour.
