| Description | She wishes to know what Mr Babbage's days are, not wanting Eleanor and Sir John go without her; she cannot give the real reason for her being away. Eleanor is to write a note to Miss Bowles to find out Miss Frankland's address and tell her it it is for Lady Jane who is at Brighton, also informing her of their new address; she is also to ask Miss Bowles whether it will absolutely be necessary to take Eleanor, which would entail expense and time; difficulties about her being presented, probably not until June; instructions are given about housekeeping matters, including on linen, wax candles, orders for butchers, storage of wine, safe storage of Jane's jewellery, placing of lamp and keeping Sir John's note to Mr Findern and his reply. Eleanor is to overlook her father's letters, prepare a note for him for Miss Beddoes and Mr Bagot, and say to Mr Bagot they will be in Brook Street until 1st or 2nd May, when he hopes to be off; in response to Eleanor's not knowing the objections to Sackville Street, Lady Jane says she has a disagreeable place with no room for Sir John except a dining room, with no bed; she tells Eleanor to impress upon her father the importance of the pamphlet above everything else; she asks for the name of Eleanor's dentist (not Mr Perfect): she is to tell Mr Phillott that Lady Jane wants to see him before Sir John goes. |
