Oh, my dear Lady Weekes, she said,

I was so glad to get back to Brighton! I thought I should have forgotten my own language, and taken to war-paint and feathers, if I had remained much longer. And Brighton is so delightful just now--just comfortably filled, without the November crush having set in. Now, couldn't you persuade the general to take you down for a few days? I am going down on Friday, and you know how dreadful it is for a poor lone woman to be in a hotel, especially with a maid who spends all her time in flirting with the first-floor waiters. Now, won't you, dear? I assure you the ---- Hotel is most charming--such freedom, and the pleasant parties they make up in the drawing-room! I believe they have a ball two or three nights a week just now.

Yes, a good deal quieter? About as quiet as a dissenting chapel. No, no: if one means to have a little pleasure, why go to such a place as that? Now, will you come and prove the truth of what I have told you?
gpt
Of course I mean you to persuade our friends here to come too, the widow explained.

What a delightful frolic it would be--for a few days, you know--to break away from London! Now, my dear, what do you say?
