There was littlesuffering to engage her sympathy or poverty to invite her help. AtKirkham there were no long-accumulated neglects to reform as there wasat Morte, and to Morte Mr. Fairfax forbade her to go. She had a liberalallowance, and not half ways enough to spend it, so she doubled herallowance to Miss Hague on behalf of her former pupils, Geoffry andFrederick; Laurence paid his own.
She was not a girl of many wants, and her taste did not incline to idleexpenditure. She had seen thrift and ...the need of thrift in her earlyhome, and thought money much too valuable to be wasted in buying thingsshe did not require. Where she saw a necessity she was the freest ofgivers, but she had experience, gained in her rides with Mr. Carnegie, against manufacturing objects of sentimental charity.
Her resource for a little while was the study of the house andneighborhood she lived in. There was a good deal of history connectedwith Kirkham. But it was all contained in the county gazetteer; and whenMacky had instructed her in the romance of the family, and the legendsattached to the ruins by the river and the older portions of themansion, all was learnt that there was to know, and the sum of herreflections announced aloud was, that Abbotsmead was a very big housefor a small family.
