CHAPTER XVI. PEACE TO CRANFORD

LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS

“Oh, sir! Can you be Peter?”

A magnificent family red silk umbrella

Meekly going to her pasture

Endeavouring to beguile her into conversation

She brought the affrighted carter ... into the drawing-room

“With his arm round Miss Jessie’s waist!”

Mr Holbrook ... bade us good-bye

Now, what colour are ash-buds in March?

I made use of the time to think of many other things

“Confound the woman!”

The temptation of the comfortable arm-chair had been too much for her

Mr Mulliner

We gave her a tea-spoonful of currant jelly

Afraid of matrimonial reports

Asked him to take care of us

Slaughterous and indiscriminate directions

Would stretch out their little arms

“What do you think, Miss Matty?”

Standing over him like a bold dragoon

“You must give me your note, Mr Dobson, if you please”

“Please, ma’am, he wants to marry me off hand”

Miss Matty and I sat assenting to accounts

Smiling glory ... and becoming blushes

I went to call Miss Matty
