people and the place, without thinking and talking too much about
how things are in England.”
“All this is easy, Sir, for the sake of plenty and independence.”
“I trust you will find it so. But, Frank, there are other things to be
considered, both for your own sake and Ellen’s. You probably see
that in the present state of the colony, particular sobriety and
discretion are required in all the young women that go there.”
Frank was quite ready to answer for his sister; and hoped that a
settlement with a respectable husband would soon place her out of
reach of temptation. He perceived that he would find it less easy to
marry than he might wish; and this seemed the greatest drawback to
the plan: but, perhaps, when he should be prosperous enough to
marry, he might send over for a wife, as he heard some settlers did;
or might be fortunate enough to find one that he would like among
the new emigrants who would be coming over from time to time.
Mr. Jackson advised him not to think much about this at present, if
he really intended to go; and agreed with him that there appeared
still less chance of his marrying in England, if he continued to be too
conscientious to form such a pauper marriage as many of his
neighbours were venturing upon.
From this day, Frank began tutoring himself and his sister for the
new way of life they hoped to enter upon. They learned all they
could, from books and persons, about the changes they might look
for out of their own country. They inured themselves purposely to toil
and heat and cold, and strove to bear with patience the trials of
temper which continually arose. There was only one thing which they
did not try to bear patiently; and that was, receiving parish-pay. Their
father was as much disgusted at it as themselves; and this assisted
his reconcilement to the emigration plan. He would not give his
children the satisfaction of saying that he liked it, or hoped any thing
from it; but he vowed he would not stay where he was; and as there
was no other place to go to, this implied assent. He looked with
sullenness on the preparations that were made; but he did nothing in
the way of hinderance; nor did he contradict his neighbours when
they took for granted that he was going. So Frank and Ellen
considered the matter settled as far as he was concerned; and rather
expected to see him much disappointed if any thing should occur to
overthrow the plan. His wife seemed utterly indifferent whether she
went or staid, or what became of her; and the whole business
seemed to rest upon the two young people and their friend, Mr.
Jackson.
