They had tried Putney in 1839, and towards the end of 1843 she took a house there, the White Cottage, Lower Richmond Road, Putney. Mary thus describes it: "Our cot is on the banks of the Thames, not looking on it, but the garden-gate opens on the towing-path. It has a nice little garden, but sadly out of order.
It could be learnt in the morning; but his mission was urgent and he on the wings of it. He was vexed and saddened. Scarcely had he closed the garden-gate when the noise of an opening window arrested him, and he called. The answer was in a feminine voice, youngish, not disagreeable, though not Diana's. He heard none of the words, but rejoined in a bawl: 'Mrs. Warwick! Mr. Redworth!
'What have you got to complain of? you've only 'ad to watch. I'm it, he says, 'but that's neither here nor there, he says. 'I've one thing to say before shakin' 'ands. Remember, 'e says we were just by the Admiral's garden-gate then 'remember, that I am not a murderer, because my lawful wife died in childbed six weeks after I came out. That much at least I am clear of, 'e says.
Then Emily will go off into hysterics, and Emily's male progenitor will firmly but quietly lead that ill-starred yet true-hearted young man to the public side of the garden-gate; and the engagement will be "off." Too much of anything is a mistake, as the man said when his wife presented him with four new healthy children in one day. We should practice moderation in all matters.
"No; I was born for what I am," answered the girl, proudly. "My parents were aristocrats; so am I. Don't lecture me! Wrong or right, I always felt thus, and always shall. If I have neither friends nor relatives, I have at least my family and my name." She talked thus, as she did sometimes, until they came to the garden-gate of Farnwood Dell. There stood an elegant carriage.
"I should have been in an unfortunate condition had I been in their hands long. A man made of iron would not be able to resist the brutality of those people." As they were speaking, a gig, with two men, drove up, followed by one on horseback. They stopped at the garden-gate, and then tarried to consult with each other, as they looked at the house.
Daphne Jane, at Widewood, swinging on the garden-gate and cackling airily to a parting visitor, slipped to the ground as Widewood's master suddenly appeared, although just then the first light-hearted smile of that day broke upon his face.
It was just at this moment that Mr Wentworth saw Wodehouse's shabby figure entering at the garden-gate; he turned round suddenly without hearing Mrs Hadwin's knock, and all but ran over the old lady in his haste and eagerness "Pardon me; I am in a great hurry," said the Curate, darting past her.
The officer signified his acquiescence in both commands, and Edward followed Fergus to the garden-gate, where Callum Beg, with three saddle-horses, awaited them.
Dickson and his hostess stood at the garden-gate, the former with his pack on his back, and at his feet a small stout wooden box, of the kind in which cheeses are transported, garnished with an immense padlock. Heritage for obvious reasons did not appear; at the moment he was crouched on the floor of the loft watching the departure through a gap in the dimity curtains.
