cottage near the river at Twickenham. Hugh Stanbury was very averse to
any protracted connection with comforts to be obtained from poor
Trevelyanâs income, and told Nora that he must hold her to her promise
about the beefsteak in the cupboard. It is our opinion that Mr and Mrs
Hugh Stanbury will never want for a beefsteak and all comfortable
additions until the inhabitants of London shall cease to require
newspapers on their breakfast tables.
Brooke and Mrs Brooke established themselves in the house in the Close
on their return from their wedding tour, and Brooke at once put himself
into intimate relations with the Messrs Croppers, taking his fair
share of the bank work. Dorothy was absolutely installed as mistress in
her auntâs house with many wonderful ceremonies, with the unlocking of
cupboards, the outpouring of stores, the giving up of keys, and with
many speeches made to Martha. This was all very painful to Dorothy, who
could not bring herself to suppose it possible that she should be the
mistress of that house, during her auntâs life. Miss Stanbury, however,
of course persevered, speaking of herself as a worn-out old woman,
with one foot in the grave, who would soon be carried away and put out
of sight. But in a very few days things got back into their places, and
Aunt Stanbury had the keys again. âI knew how it would be, miss,â said
Martha to her young mistress, âand I didnât say nothing, âcause you
understand her so well.â
Mrs Stanbury and Priscilla still live at the cottage, which, however,
to Priscillaâs great disgust, has been considerably improved and
prettily furnished. This was done under the auspices of Hugh, but with
funds chiefly supplied from the house of Brooke, Dorothy, and Co.
Priscilla comes into Exeter to see her sister, perhaps, every other
week, but will never sleep away from home, and very rarely will eat or
drink at her sisterâs table. âI donât know why, I donâtâ she said to
Dorothy, âbut somehow it puts me out. It delays me in my efforts to
come to the straw a day.â Nevertheless, the sisters are dear friends.
I fear that in some previous number a half promise was made that a
husband should be found for Camilla French. That half-promise cannot be
treated in the manner in which any whole promise certainly would have
been handled. There is no husband ready for Cammy French. The reader,
however, will be delighted to know that she made up her quarrel with
her sister and Mr Gibson, and is now rather fond of being a guest at Mr
Gibsonâs house. On her first return to Exeter after the Gibsons had
come back from their little Cornish rustication, Camilla declared that
she could not and would not bring herself to endure a certain dress of
which Bella was very fond, and as this dress had been bought for Camilla
with special reference to the glories of her anticipated married life,
this objection was almost natural. But Bella treated it as absurd, and
Camilla at last gave way.
It need only further be said that though Giles Hickbody and Martha are
not actually married as yet, men and women in their class of life always
moving towards marriage with great precaution, it is quite understood
that the young people are engaged, and are to be made happy together at
some future time.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.
Most people start at our Web sites at:
http://gutenberg.net or
http://promo.net/pg
These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03 or
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03
Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
If they reach just 1-2% of the worldâs population then the total
will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by yearâs end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
