Miss Baker of course said something in opposition to this, but that something was not much. It might easily be understood that a young lady who had just lost her lover was not in a fit state to go to a Littlebath card-party. And thus early in the evening Caroline contrived to be alone; and then for the first time she attempted to realize all that had come upon her.
Miss Baker with a transferred allegiance transferred from the old gentleman to him would be but a very indifferent helpmate. He learnt, however, from Littlebath that she was still away, and would probably not return. Then he went back in fancied security, and found himself the centre of all those amatory ovations which Miss Todd and Miss Gauntlet had prepared for him.
There can be no need of two houses and two establishments now; you had better send for your things and fix yourself here at once." "But I couldn't leave the rooms at Littlebath without a quarter's notice;" the coward's plea; a long day, my lord, a long day "that was particularly understood when I got them so cheap."
There had been walks as well as rides at Littlebath; and walks also, though perhaps of doubtful joy, amidst those graves below the walls of Jerusalem. And so they started.
On this evening they were going to the house lodgings rather of an old friend they had not seen for some time. She had arrived a week or two since at Littlebath, and though there had been callings between them, they had not yet succeeded in meeting. When Bertram had arrived it was near their dinner hour and before he went that hour was already passed.
Die; but of jovial days at Richmond or elsewhere there were plenty; plenty also of jovial Bacchanalian nights in London. Miss Waddington had been very prudent; but there might perhaps have been a prudence yet more desirable. He did go down to Littlebath on his way to Scotland, and remained there three days.
She therefore kept on her Littlebath lodgings, though Mrs Tom said much to her of the wasteful extravagance in doing so. It was at last settled that Mr Rubb should go down to Littlebath and bring Susanna back with him; and this he did, not at all to that young lady's satisfaction.
His sons, if the world spoke truth, were Nimrods; but that was in another county, away from the Tantivy hills, and Mr Stumfold knew nothing of it. In Littlebath Mr Stumfold reigned over his own set as a tyrant, but to those who obeyed him he was never austere in his tyranny.
Bertram was well known at the "Plough" now, and there was not a boots or chambermaid about the house who did not know why he came to Littlebath. "Oh, no," said Bertram, "I'll wait for you." "I didn't know; I thought there might be some lovers' privileges to be exercised, for which the eyes of the world might be inconvenient." "They shall be postponed on your behalf, my dear fellow."
Soon after that, it was decided in full conclave, that if Adela would consent, the marriage should take place in the summer. Very frequent letters passed between Hurst Staple and Littlebath, and Mrs. Wilkinson no longer alluded to them with severity, or even with dislike.
