Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell

I
went
to
see
Miss
Pole
the
next
day,
and
took
her
completely
by
surprise,
for
she
had
not
been
to
see
Miss
Matilda
for
two
days.
“And
now
I
must
go
back
with
you,
my
dear,
for
I
promised
to
let
her
know
how
Thomas
Holbrook
went
on;
and,
I’m
sorry
to
say,
his
housekeeper
has
sent
me
word
to-day
that
he
hasn’t
long
to
live.
Poor
Thomas!
that
journey
to
Paris
was
quite
too
much
for
him.
His
housekeeper
says
he
has
hardly
ever
been
round
his
fields
since,
but
just
sits
with
his
hands
on
his
knees
in
the
counting-house,
not
reading
or
anything,
but
only
saying
what
a
wonderful
city
Paris
was!
Paris
has
much
to
answer
for
if
it’s
killed
my
cousin
Thomas,
for
a
better
man
never
lived.”
“Does
Miss
Matilda
know
of
his
illness?”
asked
I—
a
new
light
as
to
the
cause
of
her
indisposition
dawning
upon
me.
“Dear!
to
be
sure,
yes!
Has
not
she
told
you?
I
let
her
know
a
fortnight
ago,
or
more,
when
first
I
heard
of
it.
How
odd
she
shouldn’t
have
told
you!”
