Mr Knightley’s Diary
“'I have seen so many houses, if I did not have my friends to help me, I would be thoroughly confused.' 'You have been to Brookfield?' asked Mrs Cole.
'Not yet, but I have it on my list, and I am going there tomorrow. I have high hopes of it. I have heard it is an excellent house.' 'It is certainly very conveniently placed, being on the London road.' 'I do not believe I shall be going to London very much, except to visit the shops and theatres from time to time. I like the countryside hereab...outs, and I am having a new carriage made, the better to explore it. The springs are deplorable on the one I have at present.' 'Not at all--most comfortable--Jane was only saying so this morning,' said Miss Bates.
As she regaled Mrs Cole with an account of Longridge's carriage, I spoke to Miss Fairfax, trying to draw her out on the subject of the carriage, but after answering my questions with one word she relapsed into silence.
'I like my friends to be comfortable, and I like to be comfortable myself,' said Mr Longridge.MoreLess
