Such a partner in all those duties and cares to which time must be giving increase of melancholy! She would have been too happy but for poor Harriet; but every blessing of her own seemed to involve and advance the sufferings of her friend, who must now be even excluded from Hartfield.
'No young woman in the Lake country would think of being without a waterproof. Mary was duly provided, and with the help of the groom put herself into a snug little tartan Inverness, while Hartfield sent the cart spinning along twelve miles an hour.
I don't like the name nearly so well as Jack. 'You shall call me Jack for old sake's sake, said Hartfield, tenderly. 'How did you think of such a name as Jack? 'Rather an effort of genius, wasn't it.
