Thackeray, William Makepeace, 1811-1863

"The Newcomes"


Ladies, go to the Temple church. You will see more young men, and receive
more respectful attention there than in any place, except perhaps at
Oxford or Cambridge. Go to the Temple church--not, of course, for the
admiration which you will excite and which you cannot help; but because
the sermon is excellent, the choral services beautifully performed, and
the church so interesting as a monument of the thirteenth century, and as
it contains the tombs of those dear Knights Templars!
Mrs. Mackenzie could be grave or gay, according to her company: nor could
any woman be of more edifying behaviour when an occasional Scottish
friend bringing a letter from darling Josey, or a recommendatory letter
from Josey's grandmother, paid a visit in Fitzroy Square. Little Miss
Cann used to laugh and wink knowingly, saying, "You will never get back
your bedroom, Mr. Clive. You may be sure that Miss Josey will come in a
few months; and perhaps old Mrs. Binnie, only no doubt she and her
daughter do not agree.
