"If she does, she will keep her word about the five hundred pounds," he said. Mrs Tom, though she demurred, of course gave way; and when Margaret Mackenzie left London for Littlebath, where lodgings had been taken for her, she took her niece Susanna with her. Miss Mackenzie Goes to Littlebath
"Oh, yes, I know you," said Margaret. "I ought, I suppose, to make ever so many apologies for not coming to you before; but I did call upon you, ever so long ago; I forget when, and after that you went to live at Littlebath.
Miss Mackenzie, as soon as she was at home, got down her Bible and puzzled herself for an hour over that riddle of Mr Stumfold's; but with all her trouble she could not find why St Peter in prison was like a little boy with his shoes off. Showing How Mr Rubb, Junior, Progressed at Littlebath
The circumstances against Margaret he owned to be very strong. He felt angry with her for having had any lover at Littlebath. It was but the other day, during her winter visit to the Cedars, that he had himself proposed to her, and that she had rejected him. He had now renewed his proposal, and he did not like to think that there had been any one else between his overtures.
For grasp of intellect, for depth of thought, for tenderness of sentiment perhaps you mightn't have expected that, but there it is for tenderness of sentiment, for strength of faith, for purity of life, for genial hospitality, and all the domestic duties, Mrs Stumfold has no equal in Littlebath, and perhaps few superiors elsewhere."

"There are five hundred and fifty-five thousand male children between the ages of nine and twelve," said Mr.
When you left Littlebath so suddenly, carried away on a mission of love and kindness, you left me, as you will doubtlessly remember, in a state of some suspense. You had kindly consented to acknowledge that I was not altogether indifferent to you. "That's not true," said Margaret to herself, almost out loud; "I never told him anything of the kind."
"'Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest. Had I a house, I should endeavour to act on that principle. I would never endeavour to keep a person who wished to go. But we shall all regret you. And then, Littlebath is not the place for you. You will never be happy at Littlebath." "Why not?" "Oh, it is a wretched place; full of horse-jockeys and hags of card-tables and false hair."
