[The Odd Women by George Gissing]@TWC D-Link bookThe Odd Women CHAPTER XXIII 19/28
And it does so distress good Mrs.Conisbee.She is exceedingly kind to me--exceedingly careful about my health.
Oh, and in Battersea Park Road I saw such a shocking sight; a great cart ran over a poor little dog, and it was killed on the spot.
It unnerved me dreadfully.
I do think, Edmund, those drivers ought to be more careful. I was saying to Mrs.Conisbee only the other day--and that reminds me, I do so want to know all about your visit to Clevedon.
Dear, dear Clevedon! And have you really taken a house there, Edmund? Oh, if we could all end our days at Clevedon! You know that our dear father and mother are buried in the old churchyard.
