How old is the housekeeper now? [br]
M:You have lived here a considerable time. Did you not say sixteen years?
W:Eighteen,sir,I came,when I was twenty,to wait on the mistress till she died at forty-eight,the master retained me for his housekeeper.
M:Indeed.
W:Ah,times are greatly Changed Since then!
M:Yes,you’ve seen a good many alterations,I suppose?
W:I have,and troubles too.
M:Why the landlord let Thrushcross Grange, and preferred living in a situation and residence so much inferior.Is he not rich enough to keep the estate in good order?
W: Rich,sir! He has,nobody knows what money,and every year it increases.Yes,yes,he’s rich enough to
live in a finer house than this: but he’s very near -- close-handed; and, if he had meant to flit to Thrushcross Grange, as soon as he heard of a good tenant he could not have borne to miss the chance of getting a few hundreds more. It is strange people should be so greedy, when they are alone in the world!
M: He had a son, it seems?
W: Yes, he had one -- he is dead.
M: And, that young lady is his widow?
W: Yes.
M: Where did she come from originally?
W: Why, sir, she is my late master’s daughter: Catherine Clinton was her maiden name. I nursed her, poor thing! I did wish her family would remove here, and then we might have been together again.
