Your aunt will write a letter to the people of the house----" "She will sign a letter, if I write it for her, which comes to the same thing." "Quite the same thing.

And you will stay, I hope, as my guest.

Brighton is so lively; you are sure to enjoy it." In those words the invitation was given, and the glorious prospect of interference was opened before me.
It was then the middle of the week.

By Saturday afternoon the house was ready for them.
