She was told that he would not stop many seconds.
During this visit I was taken ill, and obliged to return to Mr. Gurney's, where I was indisposed during the remainder of the day, and late in the evening drove home to Surrey parsonage. The next evening, Wednesday, May 29, we attended an antislavery soiree, at Willis's rooms, formerly known as Almack's; so at least I was told.

"It is in at Mrs. Gurney's with the rest of your apparel for to-night. I have just finished Gussie's suit, and she is all ready to dress. Gloves and all are waiting upstairs."
