And soon after this he took leave.
The next day was devoted by our party to a pious pilgrimage to the shrine of classic Monticello, once the seat, now the monument of Thomas Jefferson.
The whole party, young and old, gentlemen and ladies, went.
The bishop's widow forgot her housekeeping cares and took a holiday for that day.
And even Mrs. Fanning, who did not care to see the great University, could not miss the opportunity of a pilgrimage to that mecca.
The party was a large one, consisting of five ladies and four gentlemen.
And so it required two capacious carriages and two saddle horses to convey them.
They formed quite a little procession in leaving the village.
In the first carriage rode Mrs. Fanning, Emma Cavendish, Electra and Dr. Jones.
In the second carriage rode Mrs. Wheatfield, Laura Lytton and Mr. Lyle.
