Why should I not remain here in Norfolk, where I know a few people?
If you'll say that you'll go anywhere else with me, I'll go to any place you'll name." Kate had believed this to be hardly true.
She had felt sure that her aunt wished to remain in the neighbourhood of her seaside admirers; but, nevertheless, she had yielded, and at the end of October the two ladies, with Jeannette, settled themselves in comfortable lodgings within the precincts of the Close at Norwich.
Mr Greenow at this time had been dead very nearly six months, but his widow made some mistakes in her dates and appeared to think that the interval had been longer.

On the day of their arrival at Norwich it was evident that this error had confirmed itself in her mind.

"Only think," she said, as she unpacked a little miniature of the departed one, and sat with it for a moment in her hands, as she pressed her handkerchief to her eyes, "only think, that it is barely nine months since he was with me ?" "Six, you mean, aunt," said Kate, unadvisedly.
"Only nine months" repeated Mrs Greenow, as though she had not heard her niece.

"Only nine months!" After that Kate attempted to correct no more such errors.

"It happened in May, Miss," Jeannette said afterwards to Miss Vavasor, "and that, as we reckons, it will be just a twelvemonth come Christmas." But Kate paid no attention to this.
And Jeannette was very ungrateful, and certainly should have indulged herself in no such sarcasms.
