Was she not at that very moment visiting some foundation of bedeswomen that was all she heard of at yonder feast of cats! In fact, under Dr. Bennet's escort, Esclairmonde and Alice were in a barge dropping down the Thames to the neighbourhood of the frowning fortress of the Tower as yet unstained; and at the steps leading to the Hospitium of St.
"May I?" Bennet's face softened immediately. He thought a beautiful angel had dropped from Heaven to the side of his prison bed. "Yep," he whispered, blinking at her. "There air somethin' under the bed to set on, ma'am." Drawing forth a stool, Tess raised the lowered back and sat down. In the presence of such misery, she had almost forgotten her little friend in the cell outside.
But even a more sophisticated maiden than Arethusa might have been led to the building of air castles by Mr. Bennet's manner, singling her out, as it undoubtedly seemed to do, from among all those girls of his acquaintance as the one with whom he most cared to be. This affair, as it progressed, amused Ross immensely. He teased his daughter most unmercifully about Mr.
Collins until she was that worthy gentleman's double. Who could ever forget the courtship scene, with Mr. Collins's ponderous declaration and dexterous withdrawal from Mrs. Bennet's clutches? Contrary to Judith's fears, Mr. Collins's coat withstood the pressure of his windy eloquence and all the seams held fast. Scene followed scene.
She enquired if the guest would care for some tea. The guest would be delighted to have some tea. She was famished, she added. But Arethusa made no reply to this sally. She had not yet forgiven that last remark about Mr. Bennet's ability as a bridge-player. While the tea and its attendant sandwiches were consumed almost in silence, Arethusa did some thinking.
Bennet's property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two thousand a year, which, unfortunately for his daughters, was entailed, in default of heirs male, on a distant relation; and their mother's fortune, though ample for her situation in life, could but ill supply the deficiency of his. Her father had been an attorney in Meryton, and had left her four thousand pounds.

"Brother Hill," she asked him after Sunday-school, "have you ever taught a Sunday-school class?" "Yes, I had a class before I came here," he answered. "We are needing a teacher for a class of boys. Would you be willing to take it?" Immediately Austin thought of Pastor Bennet's instruction to his young converts, to take hold of any work that might be given them to do.
Bennet's heart, but for the mortifying supposition of his viewing it all as his own future property. The dinner too in its turn was highly admired; and he begged to know to which of his fair cousins the excellency of its cooking was owing. But he was set right there by Mrs.
Bennet's biggest fault was that he was a little selfish; right now, it was no larger cloud on the horizon of his perfection than might be compared to the palm of one's hand, but owing to all this admiration he so constantly received, and the fact that he did not have to exert himself very much to make a cause for popularity, the little cloud was growing.
