noon
That I must leave Madame Bathurst was certain , and that I must look out for some other situation . I took it for granted that Madame Bathurst would not permit me to leave immediately , but allow me a short time to look out for a suitable situation ; but whether I should decide upon taking the situation of a governess after what Madame Bathurst had told me , or what situation I should seek was the cause of much thought and indecision . At last I could make no mind up , and decided that I would trust to Providence , and having so far come to a conclusion , I fell asleep . After an early breakfast , I set off in the carriage with Caroline in charge , and before noon , we arrived at her father 's house . The servants dressed in very gaudy liveries , ushered us into the library , where we found her father and mother waiting to receive her . A first glance satisfied me that they were swelled with pride at the change in their fortunes . Caroline was not received with great cordiality .
