I would much rather ask her myself if only I could get your consent to my doing so. 'And you have said nothing to her? 'Not a word. 'I am glad of that.

But as I must be back at Plaistow on this day week, I haven't much time to lose.
As Will at this time was hardly ten months married, he was not as yet justified in thinking about his own wife and children; but he had already found it expedient to make arrangements for the autumn, which would prevent that annual visit to Plaistow which Clara had contemplated, and which he had regarded with his characteristic prudence as being subject to possible impediments.
This is indeed most visible, speaking of Stratford in Essex; but it is the same thing in proportion in other villages adjacent, especially on the forest side; as at Low Leyton, Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Woodford, Wanstead, and the towns of West Ham, Plaistow, Upton, etc.
He had been sad enough on that moonlight night in the avenue at Plaistow when he had leaned against the tree, striking his hands together as he thought of his great want; but his unhappiness then had been as nothing to his agony now.

Major Flint and Captain Puffin certainly were, and it might be taken for granted that Godiva Plaistow was. With the Poppits and herself that made six.... Mr. Bartlett was humorously archaic in speech.

Wyse, remembering that Diva had told her that the Contessa Faradiddleony's arrival was postponed. "And your dear sister has put off her journey, I understand," she said. "Such a disappointment! Shall we see her at Tilling at all, do you think?" Mr. Wyse looked surprised. "Dear lady," he said, "you're the second person who has said that to me. Mrs. Plaistow asked me just now "
