Thackeray, William Makepeace, 1811-1863

"The Newcomes"

Mack--but she has taken possession of Uncle James, and seems to me
to weigh upon him somehow. Rosey is as pretty and good-natured as ever,
and has learned two new songs; but you see, with my sentiments in another
quarter, I feel as it were guilty and awkward in company of Rosey and her
mamma. They have become the very greatest friends with Bryanstone Square,
and Mrs. Mack is always citing Aunt Hobson as the most superior of women,
in which opinion, I daresay, Aunt Hobson concurs.
"Good-bye, my dearest father; my sheet is full; I wish I could put my arm
in yours and pace up and down the pier with you, and tell you more and
more. But you know enough now, and that I am your affectionate son
always, C. N."
In fact, when Mr. Clive appeared at Steyne Gardens stepping out of the
fly, and handing Miss Ethel thence, Miss Honeyman of course was very glad
to see her nephew, and saluted him with a little embrace to show her
sense of pleasure at his visit.
