"What, you're Wigsby's nephew, are you?" said the peer.
Why, when mother died at home we were in Chertsey then, Frank and Doris and I and I tried to manage things, you know, it was really too absurd. I used to make the most ridiculous mistakes and Frank said that the village people did just what they liked with me, and I remember old Mrs. Blenkinsop charging me for eggs after the first month at quite an outrageous rate because " "Yes, mother, I know.
Well she never! Mrs. Sedley was all excitement about this news. She wished that Blenkinsop were here to hear it: Blenkinsop always mistrusted that Miss Sharp.
