Serial originally published in the Cornhill Magazine, Jan. 1860-April 1861. Illustration depicts Mrs. Mary Gresham and Martha Dunstable as in Chapter XXXVIII: '"Well, my dear, I am heartily glad we've done with that," Miss Dunstable said to her, as she sat herself down to her desk in the drawing-room on the first morning after her arrival at Boxall Hill. "What does 'that' mean?" said Mrs. Gresham. "Why, London and smoke and late hours, and standing on one's legs for four hours at a stretch on the top of one's own staircase, to be bowed at by any one who chooses to come. That's all done - for one year, at any rate."'
