Charlotte: The Practical Education Of A Distressed Gentlewoman - Plot & Excerpts
Charlotte Visits London. Elizabeth's predictions about Lady Chalfield and the chance of a free ride were spot on. She hemmed and hawed, claimed she didn't want to be a burden, but quickly acquiesced to the idea of taking a seat in the Talbot carriage. The Answorths were pleased as well, while they couldn't put their finger on the reason, something about their erstwhile neighbor bothered them. Having a steady young female like Miss Talbot ride with their friend was reassuring. Knowing that she would be living not far away in London was doubly so. The post chaise Elizabeth hired left Bath for London early in the morning. Not as early as Elizabeth wished, but earlier than either Lady Chalfield or Charlotte would normally rise in the morning. Naturally this lead to a certain amount of matutinal silence. They took the Bath road through Chippingham, Marlborough and Newbury. In Newbury the Bath road changed to the London road and Charlotte asked if anyone else was perhaps a little in need of refreshment.
