Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

It
was
some
time
before
I
could
console
her
enough
to
leave
her;
and
then,
on
quitting
the
house,
I
was
waylaid
by
Mrs
Fitz-Adam,
who
had
also
her
confidence
to
make
of
pretty
nearly
the
opposite
description.
She
had
not
liked
to
put
down
all
that
she
could
afford
and
was
ready
to
give.
She
told
me
she
thought
she
never
could
look
Miss
Matty
in
the
face
again
if
she
presumed
to
be
giving
her
so
much
as
she
should
like
to
do.
“Miss
Matty!”
continued
she,
“that
I
thought
was
such
a
fine
young
lady
when
I
was
nothing
but
a
country
girl,
coming
to
market
with
eggs
and
butter
and
such
like
things.
For
my
father,
though
well-to-do,
would
always
make
me
go
on
as
my
mother
had
done
before
me,
and
I
had
to
come
into
Cranford
every
Saturday,
and
see
after
sales,
and
prices,
and
what
not.
And
one
day,
I
remember,
I
met
Miss
Matty
in
the
lane
that
leads
to
Combehurst;
she
was
walking
on
the
footpath,
which,
you
know,
is
raised
a
good
way
above
the
road,
and
a
gentleman
rode
beside
her,
and
was
talking
to
her,
and
she
was
looking
down
at
some
primroses
she
had
gathered,
and
pulling
them
all
to
pieces,
and
I
do
believe
she
was
crying.
