iiot for the world ! — whether as a lady of birth or a tradesman's wife, it would never do for me to concern myself about them. You know my position here is not to be contro- verted by any interlopers, be they who they may, — or come from where they will." " Undoubtedly not, marm," replied the obse- quious M. C. ; " there's not a person in the place insensible of the advantages of your presence ; but I should hope, — at least, perhaps I may ven- ture to express a slight wish, — that if these Jo...rrocks's appear respectable people, you will for the sake of sociability vouchsafe them the favour of your countenance, and condescend to notice them a little^ " I don't know what to say about that, my dear Captain," replied Mrs. Barnington thoughtfully. " If they appear respectable people, and if they live in a certain style, and if I thought the matter would rest at Handley Cross, and they would not obtrude their acquaintance upon me else- where, and if they appeared sensible of the obligation, I might perhaps call upon them ; but where there are so many points to consider, and so many to ascertain, it is almost needless specu- lating upon how one might act; all that we can do for the present is to maintain one's own consequence, and you know full well the only way to support a place like this, is to uphold the dignity of the chief patroness."
