Enquire within upon everything

At
this
moment
I
felt
so
nervous
that
I
pulled
out
my
handkerchief,
and
endeavoured
to
create
a
diversion
by
making
a
loud
nasal
noise,
and
remarking
that
I
thought
the
wind
very
cold,
when
an
accident
happened
which
took
us
all
by
surprise:
one
of
the
large
wheels
of
the
minibus
dropped
off,
and
all
the
passeigers
were
jostled
down
into
a
corner
but,
fortunately
without
serious
injury.
Mrs.
H.,
however,
happening
to
be
under
three
or
four
persons,
raised
a
loud
cry
for
"'elp!
'elp!"
She
was
speedily
got
out,
when
she
assured
us
that
she
was
not
'urt;
but
she
was
in
such
a
state
of
hagitation
that
she
wished
to
be
taken
to
a
chemist's
shop,
to
get
some
haromatic
vinegar,
or
some
Hoe
de
Cologne!
The
chemist
was
exceedingly
polite
to
her,
for
which
she
said
she
could
never
express
her
hobligations--an
assertion
which
seemed
to
me
to
be
literally
true.
It
was
some
time
before
she
resumed
her
accustomed
freedom
of
conversation;
but
as
we
ascended
the
hill
she
explained
to
me
that
she
should
like
to
take
the
house
as
tenant
from
'ear
to
'ear!--but
she
thought
landlords
would
hobject
to
such
an
agreement,
as
when
they
got
a
good
tenant
they
liked
to
'old
'im
as
long
as
they
could.
She
expressed
an
opinion
that
'Amstead
must
be
very
'ealthy,
because
it
was
so
'igh
hup.
We
soon
reached
the
summit
of
the
hill,
and
turned
through
a
lane
which
led
towards
the
Heath,
and
in
which
villas
and
cottages
were
smiling
on
each
side.
"Now,
there's
a
helegant
little
place!"
she
exclaimed,
"just
suited
to
my
hideas--about
height
rooms
and
a
horiel
hover
the
hentrance."
But
it
was
not
to
let--so
we
passed
on.
