It was also much busier and more diverting. The coach made good time until it was time to turn off on the road to Bath. The road that cut the corner to Bath was still better than most of the roads Cecelia had seen in Wales. They arrived outside of the townhouse Captain Wood hired, and started to unload. Miss Arnold and Captain Wood entered the house and surveyed the rooms and furnishings. In the meantime Meadows directed the disposition of the luggage. The maids started to unpack and freshen their mistress's dresses. Cecelia left this bustling activity behind her. She had an errand of the utmost importance, namely finding the circulating library and getting her account set up. Then, if there was time, she would find the Somersets and tell them she had arrived. A month's membership at the circulating library and reading room at Milson Street cost a steep seven shillings.
