Letters By Jane Austen heir contents might have been more agreeable. I do not at all expect to see you on Tuesday , since matters have fallen out so unpleasantly ; and if you are not able to return till after that day, it will hardly be possible for us to send for you before Saturday , though for my own part I care so little about the ball that it would be no sacrifice to me to give it up for the sake of seeing you two days earlier . We are extremely sorry for poor Eliza's illness. I trust, however, that she has continued to recover since you wrote, and that you will none of you be the worse for your attendance on her. What a good - for - nothing fellow Charles is to bespeak the stockings ! I hope he will be too hot all the rest of his life for it! I sent you a letter yesterday to Ibthorp , which I suppose you will not receive at Kintbury. It was not very long or very witty, and therefore if you never receive it, it does not much signify. I wrote principally to tell you that the Coopers were arrived and in good health. The little boy is very like Dr . Cooper , and the little girl is to resemble Jane, they say. Our party to Ashe to - morrow night will consist of Edward Cooper , James ( for a ball is nothing without him ), Buller , who is now staying with us, and I. I look forward with great impatience to it, as I rather expect to receive an offer from my friend in the course of the evening. I shall refuse him, however, unless he promises to give away his white coat. I am very much flattered by your commendation of my last letter , for I write only for fame, and without any view to pecuniary emolument. Edward is gone to spend the day with his friend, John Lyford, and does not return till to-morrow. Anna is now here; she came up in her chaise to spend the day with her young cousins, but she does not much take to them or to anything about them, except Caroline's spinning - wheel . I am very glad to find from Mary that Mr. and Mrs . Fowle are pleased with you. I hope you will continue to give satisfaction . How impertinent you are to write to me about Tom , as if I had not opportunities of hearing from him myself! The last letter that I received from him was dated on Friday , 8th , and he told me that if the wind should be favorable on Sunday , which it proved to be, they were to sail from Falmouth on that day. By this time, therefore, they are at Barbadoes, I suppose. The Rivers are still at Manydown , and are to be at Ashe to-morrow . I intended to call on the Miss Biggs yesterday had the weather been tolerable. Caroline , Anna , and I have just been devouring some cold souse, and it would be difficult to say which enjoyed it most.
