Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sybilla, Vol. 3 of 3: And Other Stories
Ashtead had been asking after you, and wanted to know where you were living, but he hadn't a mind to tell him, the whole lot Of them were getting 80 uppish since they had that bit Of money left them by their grandfather's sister. And I asked Jim how he came across Tom Ashtead, for he never shows his face here, but Jim put me Off. It's in my mind that Jim's hankering after their Matty - like a great donkey - for she just turns up her nose at him and all Of us, as if we was not fit to wipe her shoes. Mother sends her love, and hopes you are comfortable. There's father coming up the lane booting and swearing, SO no more at present from your affectionate sister, sarah birch.
P.s.-de sure and let me know if you hear Of a nice place, for I'm sure I sha'n't stay here to be badgered. And don't be surprised if I was to drop on you suddenly some day.
Bessy folded up her letter and put it in her pocket, looking very grave indeed.
