Mr. Scarborough’s Family

CHAPTER XVIII
15/17

It is not what the clergyman may say of you, but that your mind will get away for two hours from that other reptile and his concerns." Then Mr.Grey, with a loud, long sigh, allowed his boots, and his gloves, and his church-going hat, and his church-going umbrella to be brought to him.

It was, in fact, his aversion to these articles that Dolly had to encounter.
It may be doubted whether the church services of that day did Mr.Grey much good; but they seemed to have had some effect upon his daughter, from the fact that in the afternoon she wrote a letter in kindly words to her aunt: "Papa is going to Tretton, and I will come up to you on Tuesday.

I have got a frock which I will bring with me as a present for Potsey; and I will make her sew on the buttons for herself.

Tell Minna I will lend her that book I spoke of.

About those boots--I will go with Georgina to the boot-maker." But as to Amelia and Sophy she could not bring herself to say a good-natured word, so deep in her heart had sunk that sin of which they had been guilty with reference to Prince Chitakov.
On that night she had a long discussion with her father respecting the affairs of the Scarborough family.
