Bennet Has Her Say Ch. 22 In Which We Regain Respectability and Coincidence Threatens Abducendus etiam non nunquam animus est ad alia studia, sollicitudines, curas, negotia; loci denique mutatione, tanquam aegroti non convalescentes saepe curandus est. “The mind is sometimes to be diverted to other studies . . . by change of place, as sick persons who do not recover are ordered change of air.” —CICERO I find September a most agreeable month, the end of the gentleness of summer yet before the cruelties of winter begin. It celebrates the end of harvest, which, according to Tom, was most successful despite the drought that threatened in July. Today the paths of the village are lined with farm families offering their late-summer wares: apples firm and rosy, walnuts, the gourds of pumpkin and squash. I was heartened to see Cook amongst the crowd weighing apples and squashes in her hands, eyeing beets and radishes and carrots. Emily, the scullery maid, followed along behind her, stumbling as Cook filled her basket with provisions for the months to come.
