ABSTRACT

Angelina went by water from Cardiffe to Bristol; the water was rather rough, and as she was unused to the motion of a vessel, she was both frightened and sick. She spent some hours very disagreeably, and without even the sense of acting like a heroine, to support her spirits. It was late in the evening before she arrived at the end of her voyage; she was landed on the quay, at Bristol. No hackney coach was to be had, and she was obliged to walk to the Bush. To find herself in the midst of a bustling, vulgar crowd, by whom she was unknown, but not unnoticed, was new to miss Warwick. Whilst she was with lady Diana Chillingworth, she had always been used to see crowds make way for her; she was now surprised to feel herself jostled in the streets by passengers, who were all full of their own affairs, hurrying different ways in pursuit of objects, which probably seemed to them as important, as the search for an unknown friend appeared to Angelina./
