  • Trip to London
    Trip to London ohn Gurney and Elizabeth set off for London on a bright, J frosty morning. There was a tearful farewell with the six remaining sisters bustling into the hall to watch as their sister waved from the chaise. It was their first major separation and as Elizabeth wistfully reminded herself, they were ‘sisters formed after my own heart’. In no time the excitement of travel took over and her spirits restored. The chaise bumped along over the frosty ruts but it was well-sprung and cushioned so the occupants were comfortable. It was lined with fawn-coloured watered silk and contained large pockets for books, drinks and snacks. The carpet-covered steps were folded up inside the carriage. Elizabeth and her father and a companion were well wrapped up with a warm sheepskin rug over their feet which rested on tins of hot water. Elizabeth used a mitten occasionally to rub away the condensation on the inside of the window and looked out at the wintery scene. She saw bare trees with a bud here and there, flocks of birds grubbing for feed in the fields while hints of green appeared in the hedgerows promising the appearance soon of spring and a transformation of the landscape. 30 While It Is Yet Day Soon it was time to stop and rest. They had arrived at the White Hart Inn at Thetford. Here their own horses would be rested and fed and for the remainder of the journey they would hire both horses and armed postilions. But first a welcome stretch in front of a roaring fire.
