You see, when people do nice things, it's just taken as a matter of course, because that's what they ought to do. And when they do something wicked, it gets everyone excited and makes a lot of talk. That's the reason for that." "Still, this work that the men from Cranford are going to do for the Pratts is interesting, Bessie.

The Miss Pratts had been willing, when Hester first came into the neighborhood, to take a good-natured though precarious interest in "their Vicar's sister." Indeed, Mrs. Gresley had felt obliged to warn Hester not to count too much on their attentions, "as they sometimes dropped people as quickly as they took them up."
"But if she had had any chances I know she would have told me, because I told her all about Captain Cobbett and Mr. Baxter." Le monde est plein de gens qui ne sont pas plus sages. If, after the departure of the Pratts, Rachel had hoped for a word with Hester, she was doomed to disappointment. Mr.
Gresley graciously signified his intention of returning early from his parochial rounds on the afternoon when Dick and Rachel were expected, while Mrs. Gresley announced that the occasion was a propitious one for inviting the Pratts to tea. "Miss West will like to meet them," she remarked to Hester, whose jaw dropped at the name of Pratt.
She was amazed at first at the Pratts calling her by her Christian name without her leave, until she discovered that they spoke of the whole county by their Christian names, even designating Lord Newhaven's two younger brothers with whom they were not acquainted as Jack and Harry, though they were invariably called by their own family John and Henry.
Gresley would say, "Hester loves adulation, and as she can't get it from the Pratts and us, she has to go to those below her in the social scale, like Miss Brown, who will give it to her. Miss Brown may be very cultivated. I dare say she is, but she makes up to Hester."
Key on my own watch-chain." Inaudible reply. "Hinges! ha! ha! ha! Very good, Dick. Likely story that. I see you're the same as ever. Travellers' tales. But we are not so easily taken in, are we, Hester?" Mrs. Gresley certainly had the gift of prophecy as far as the Pratts were concerned. Mrs.
"They couldn't believe such a thing." "Don't you think Mrs. Webster Pratt would believe it, if she knew everything that we know?" I argued. "She'd believe it with only half as much proof, and she has just about the mental equipment of the average juryman. There'll be about four Mrs. Webster Pratts on that jury." "What can we do, Bupps?" Mary begged with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Gresley, who had been to tea with the Pratts for the first time since her convalescence, was tired, and went early to bed; or, as Mr. Gresley termed it, "Bedfordshire"; and Mr. Gresley retired to his study to put a few finishing touches to a paper he was writing on St. Augustine not by request for that receptacle of clerical genius, the parish magazine.
