For miles we have had beautiful hollies in the hedges; I wish my Aunt Charlotte would be so kind as to have a few small hollies out of Wilkinson's garden planted in the new ditch between Wood's and Duffy's; also some cuttings of honeysuckles and pyracanthus enough can be had from my garden. I must finish abruptly. To MRS. RUXTON. LIVERPOOL, April 6, 1813.
Walking on, Sneyd exclaimed, "My Uncle Ruxton!" I darted to him: "Is my aunt here?" "Yes, and Sophy, and Margaret, but I have lost them; I'm looking for them." "Oh, come with me and we'll find them."
The children of Boston, who had known and loved her through her books, raised a subscription for her, and sent her a hundred and fifty pounds of flour and rice. They were simply inscribed "To Miss Edgeworth, for her poor." Nothing, in her long life, ever pleased or gratified her more. MARIA EDGEWORTH to MISS MARGARET RUXTON. EDGEWORTHSTOWN, Oct. 27, 1847.
I hope she has not suffered; as yet she does not appear the worse for her exertions. MARIA EDGEWORTH to MRS. RUXTON. EDGEWORTHSTOWN, Nov. 16. 1828. Thank you, thank you for the roses; the yellow Scotch and Knight's dark red, and the ever-blowing, came quite fresh, and just at the moment I wanted them, when I had taken to my garden, after finishing my gutters.
Laura Ruxton, parliamentary secretary, attended the convention of the Government Party to present the question, addressed it and the resolution to put a woman suffrage plank in the platform was carried by 72 to 58. The Unionist, Labor and South African parties accepted it, the Nationalist Party alone refusing it.
Davy's Lectures not only opened a new world of knowledge to ourselves and to our young people, but were especially gratifying to Mr. Edgeworth and Maria, confirming, by the eloquence, ingenuity, and philosophy which they displayed, the high idea they had so early formed of Mr. Davy's powers. MARIA EDGEWORTH to MISS RUXTON. EDGEWORTHSTOWN, April 1811.
After visits at Glasgow and Dalwharran, Miss Edgeworth and her sisters returned to Ireland. To MRS. RUXTON. EDGEWORTHSTOWN, Nov. 20, 1823. It is a long time since I have written to you, always waiting a day longer for somebody's coming or going, or sailing or landing. You ask what I am doing: nothing, but reading and idling, and paving a gutter and yard to Honora's pig-stye, and school-house.
I do wish you could have seen the honest, happy face of George, as he held his flambeau bolt upright at his station, looking at his own pretty daughter Mary. O my dear aunt, how much our pleasure would have been increased if you had been sitting beside us at the dining-room window. To MISS MARGARET RUXTON. EDGEWORTHSTOWN, June 21, 1805. I had a most pleasant long letter from my father to-day.
Ruxton was not pleased she never liked Belinda afterwards, and Maria had always a painful recollection of her aunt's suspecting her of the meanness of envy.
