The traveling public in Europe are so social, and etiquette so free, that the tourist can at every step form the acquaintance of some one who is bound for the same church, museum or pleasure garden and thus be continually enjoying the benefits of intelligent and cheerful company. On Monday noon, July 12th, I left Coventry by rail, to return to Warwick via Leamington.
The Delmes resided at Leamington the remainder of the winter, which passed fleetly and happily. Emily, for the first time, gave way to that one feeling, which, to a woman, is the all-important and engrossing one, enjoying her happiness in that full spirit of content, which basking in present joys, attempts not to mar them by ideal disquietudes.
It seems irrelevant, and yet for the tale's sake is noteworthy, that any room which harbored Lady John Claridge was through this fact converted into an absolute monarchy. And so, by the favor of Lady Claridge and destiny, the tutor stayed at Leamington Manor all summer.
As fruit of this indiscretion, an inconsiderable tutor at Leamington Manor whom Lady John Claridge regarded as a sort of upper servant was talking with a visitor. The tutor, it appeared, preferred to talk with the former Chancellor of Saxe-Kesselberg in the middle of an open field.
However, the sun was burning hot, and I could almost have fancied myself in America. From Leamington we took tickets for Oxford, where we were obliged to make another stop of two hours; and these we employed to what advantage we could, driving up into town, and straying hither and thither, till J -'s weariness weighed upon me, and I adjourned with him to a hotel.
I proposed Wales from the first, but my wife and daughter, who have always had rather a hankering after what is fashionable, said they thought it would be more advisable to go to Harrowgate, or Leamington.
Siddons is much better. She is staying at Leamington at present. Dearest H , returning from Buckinghamshire the other day, I passed Cassiobury, the grove, the little lane leading down to Heath Farm, and Miss M 's cottage, and the first days of our acquaintance came back to my memory.
There are Circuses, Crescents, Terraces, Parades, and all such fine names as we have become familiar with at Leamington, and other watering-places.
The population will henceforward increase at the expense of its gentility, but the police and sanitary arrangements before alluded to, will always make Leamington a favourite with invalids, hypochondriacs, and flaneurs.
"He had a brown horse last season," said Grindley; "a little thing that went very fast, but wasn't quite sound on the road." "That was a mare," said Maxwell, "and he sold her to Cinquebars."* "For a hundred and fifty," said Calder Jones, "and she wasn't worth the odd fifty." "He won seventy with her at Leamington," said Maxwell, "and I doubt whether he'd take his money now."
