Harry And Lucy Concluded Being The Last Part Of Early Lessons Vol III IV
Author: Maria Edgeworth

HARRY AND LUCY CONCLUDED BEING THE LAST PART OF EARLY LESSONS - 1825 - ON the evening of the last day of their journey Harry and Lucy looked out anxi ously at every house they saw and many times they hoped that cottages, which at a distance peeping between trees looked charming, would be theirs, till, on a nearer view, they were as often content... more »ed to let them pass. One with a honeysuckle porch, and another with a trellis, and another with a pomegranate in full flower. Lucy, how ever, looked back with-regret, fearing that theirs could never be so pretty. Theirs was to be on the sea shore. but as yet they , did not seem to be near the sea. Presently they turned into a lane, which led down a VOL. I I . B steep hill, with hedges so high on each side, that nothing could be seen, but the narrow road before them. At the bottom of this lane, to the right, there was a gate, and a road leading through a wood. Harrys father stopped the carriage, and asked an old woman who came to the gate, Is this the road to Ruperts cottage Cc Yes, sir. I am glad of it, thought H-. l We - are sure of a wood, that is one good thing. The gate opened, and hey drove in. Now we shall see. what sort of a place it is, said Lucy. Ruperts cottage was at thefoot of a high . hill covered with trees,. which sheltered it at ihe back. I n front was a very small green-lawn, surrounded with evergreens. The cottage had a honeysuckle porch, and a bow-window, and.. a trellis. The outside . wasall that Lucy desired and within - within it. was an odd . kind. o . f house, with one long matted passage, A and steps up here and down there, and rooms that had been enlarged, with jutting windows, and niches, and nooks, in curious ways and Lucy liked it all the better for not being a regular house. The rooms in which she and Harry were to sleep, if rooms they could be called, were very, very small, as even Lucy observed there was but just space for a little bed, and a little table, and a little chair, and for a little person to turn about in. No chest of drawers, or any such luxury, only a press in the corner cut in the wall. But the more difficulties, the more inconveniences the better, there would be more work for ingenuity in contriving , how to settle themselves and their goods. Lucy wanted to have the trunks, brought in, and to go to the unpacking and arranging directly but Harry had other thoughts in his head. Lucy, said he, I am disappointed in one thing, and a great thing. What, my dear Harry said Lucy, opening her eyes wide. The sea, said Harry, looking out of the window. No view of the sea anywhere. I thought the cottage was to be ON the sea shore. And so it was, but the sea was hidderi from the view of the windows of the house by. a sand bahk, which had been thrown up by the tide, and which was now covered by a plantation of evergreens. Harry persuaded Lucy to put off unpacking their trunk till morning, and to go out with him in search of the sea. He led the way, and as theyiwent round the little lawn, she, de lighted with the new place, and with every new flower and shrub, would have often stopped to admire. Oh, Harry, look at this myrtle, taller than I am Oh, Harry, this myrtle, taller than rnamma Harry looked back, but ran on to find the way down to the sea shore...
