LADY ANNE GRANARD.

179

She remembered, indeed, that Charles Penrhyn could not get franks now, and her daughters knew she would not pay postage; and she had commanded Helen to work night and day, saying, "surely they can give her common materials." As, however, each day drew to a close, her mind misgave her; she doubted the power of Helen, the good will of Charles, when, two days only before the fair, arrived (no daughter) but an important-looking packing case, carriage free. For this Lady Anne gladly paid porterage, bargaining only that it should be carried a few doors distant, to the house of the Duke of C———.
