I wished to leave immediately after the funeral but Georgiana entreated me to stay till she could get off to London whither she was now at last invited by her uncle Mr. Gibson who had come down to direct his sister s interment and settle the family affairs. Georgiana said she dreaded being left alone with Eliza from her she got neither sympathy in her dejection support in her fears nor aid in her preparations so I bore with her feeble-minded wailings and selfish lamentations as well as I could and did my best in sewing for her and packing her dresses. It is true that while I worked she would idle and I thought to myself If you and I were destined to live always together cousin we would commence matters on a different footing. I should not settle tamely down into being the forbearing party I should assign you your share of labour and compel you to accomplish it or else it should be left undone I should insist also on your keeping some of those drawling half-insincere complaints hushed in your own breast. It is only because our connection happens to be very transitory and comes at a peculiarly mournful season that I consent thus to render it so patient and compliant on my part. At last I saw Georgiana off but now it was Eliza s turn to request me to stay another week. Her plans required all her time and attention she said she was about to depart for some unknown bourne and all day long she stayed in her own room her door bolted within filling trunks emptying drawers burning papers and holding no communication with any one. She wished me to look after the house to see callers and answer notes of condolence. One morning she told me I was at liberty. And she added I am obliged to you for your valuable services and discreet conduct There is some difference between living with such an one as you and with Georgiana you perform .
