Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

“She
has
married
for
an
establishment,
that’s
it.
I
suppose
she
takes
the
surgery
with
it,”
said
Miss
Pole,
with
a
little
dry
laugh
at
her
own
joke.
But,
like
many
people
who
think
they
have
made
a
severe
and
sarcastic
speech,
which
yet
is
clever
of
its
kind,
she
began
to
relax
in
her
grimness
from
the
moment
when
she
made
this
allusion
to
the
surgery;
and
we
turned
to
speculate
on
the
way
in
which
Mrs
Jamieson
would
receive
the
news.
The
person
whom
she
had
left
in
charge
of
her
house
to
keep
off
followers
from
her
maids
to
set
up
a
follower
of
her
own!
And
that
follower
a
man
whom
Mrs
Jamieson
had
tabooed
as
vulgar,
and
inadmissible
to
Cranford
society,
not
merely
on
account
of
his
name,
but
because
of
his
voice,
his
complexion,
his
boots,
smelling
of
the
stable,
and
himself,
smelling
of
drugs.
Had
he
ever
been
to
see
Lady
Glenmire
at
Mrs
Jamieson’s?
Chloride
of
lime
would
not
purify
the
house
in
its
owner’s
estimation
if
he
had.
Or
had
their
interviews
been
confined
to
the
occasional
meetings
in
the
chamber
of
the
poor
sick
conjuror,
to
whom,
with
all
our
sense
of
the
mésalliance,
we
could
not
help
allowing
that
they
had
both
been
exceedingly
kind?
And
now
it
turned
out
that
a
servant
of
Mrs
Jamieson’s
had
been
ill,
and
Mr
Hoggins
had
been
attending
her
for
some
weeks.
