The
Lady
Emily
was
her
brother
's
senior
by
many
years
;
and
took
considerable
rank
in
the
serious
world
as
author
of
some
of
the
delightful
tracts
before
mentioned
,
and
of
many
hymns
and
spiritual
pieces
.
A
mature
spinster
,
and
having
but
faint
ideas
of
marriage
,
her
love
for
the
blacks
occupied
almost
all
her
feelings
.
It
is
to
her
,
I
believe
,
we
owe
that
beautiful
poem
.
Lead
us
to
some
sunny
isle
,
Yonder
in
the
western
deep
;
Where
the
skies
for
ever
smile
,
And
the
blacks
for
ever
weep
,
&
c.
She
had
correspondences
with
clerical
gentlemen
in
most
of
our
East
and
West
India
possessions
;
and
was
secretly
attached
to
the
Reverend
Silas
Hornblower
,
who
was
tattooed
in
the
South
Sea
Islands
.
As
for
the
Lady
Jane
,
on
whom
,
as
it
has
been
said
,
Mr.
Pitt
Crawley
's
affection
had
been
placed
,
she
was
gentle
,
blushing
,
silent
,
and
timid
.
In
spite
of
his
falling
away
,
she
wept
for
her
brother
,
and
was
quite
ashamed
of
loving
him
still
.
Even
yet
she
used
to
send
him
little
hurried
smuggled
notes
,
and
pop
them
into
the
post
in
private
.
The
one
dreadful
secret
which
weighed
upon
her
life
was
,
that
she
and
the
old
housekeeper
had
been
to
pay
Southdown
a
furtive
visit
at
his
chambers
in
the
Albany
;
and
found
him
--
O
the
naughty
dear
abandoned
wretch
!
--
smoking
a
cigar
with
a
bottle
of
Curacao
before
him
.
She
admired
her
sister
,
she
adored
her
mother
,
she
thought
Mr.
Crawley
the
most
delightful
and
accomplished
of
men
,
after
Southdown
,
that
fallen
angel
:
and
her
mamma
and
sister
,
who
were
ladies
of
the
most
superior
sort
,
managed
everything
for
her
,
and
regarded
her
with
that
amiable
pity
,
of
which
your
really
superior
woman
always
has
such
a
share
to
give
away
.
Her
mamma
ordered
her
dresses
,
her
books
,
her
bonnets
,
and
her
ideas
for
her
.
She
was
made
to
take
pony-riding
,
or
piano-exercise
,
or
any
other
sort
of
bodily
medicament
,
according
as
my
Lady
Southdown
saw
meet
;
and
her
ladyship
would
have
kept
her
daughter
in
pinafores
up
to
her
present
age
of
six-and-twenty
,
but
that
they
were
thrown
off
when
Lady
Jane
was
presented
to
Queen
Charlotte
.
When
these
ladies
first
came
to
their
house
at
Brighton
,
it
was
to
them
alone
that
Mr.
Crawley
paid
his
personal
visits
,
contenting
himself
by
leaving
a
card
at
his
aunt
's
house
,
and
making
a
modest
inquiry
of
Mr.
Bowls
or
his
assistant
footman
,
with
respect
to
the
health
of
the
invalid
.
When
he
met
Miss
Briggs
coming
home
from
the
library
with
a
cargo
of
novels
under
her
arm
,
Mr.
Crawley
blushed
in
a
manner
quite
unusual
to
him
,
as
he
stepped
forward
and
shook
Miss
Crawley
's
companion
by
the
hand
.
He
introduced
Miss
Briggs
to
the
lady
with
whom
he
happened
to
be
walking
,
the
Lady
Jane
Sheepshanks
,
saying
,
"
Lady
Jane
,
permit
me
to
introduce
to
you
my
aunt
's
kindest
friend
and
most
affectionate
companion
,
Miss
Briggs
,
whom
you
know
under
another
title
,
as
authoress
of
the
delightful
'
Lyrics
of
the
Heart
,
'
of
which
you
are
so
fond
.
"
Lady
Jane
blushed
too
as
she
held
out
a
kind
little
hand
to
Miss
Briggs
,
and
said
something
very
civil
and
incoherent
about
mamma
,
and
proposing
to
call
on
Miss
Crawley
,
and
being
glad
to
be
made
known
to
the
friends
and
relatives
of
Mr.
Crawley
;
and
with
soft
dove-like
eyes
saluted
Miss
Briggs
as
they
separated
,
while
Pitt
Crawley
treated
her
to
a
profound
courtly
bow
,
such
as
he
had
used
to
H.H.
the
Duchess
of
Pumpernickel
,
when
he
was
attache
at
that
court
.
