midday
The girl is evidently bold enough to make a fight of it for the position of Mrs. Armadale of Thorpe Ambrose , and she has found out some way of getting her mother to help her . Do n't suppose I am in the least nervous or discouraged , and do n't do anything till you hear from me again . Only get back to London , for I may have serious need of your assistance in the course of the next day or two . `` I send this letter to town -LRB- to save a post -RRB- by the midday train , in charge of the guard . As you insist on knowing every step I take at Thorpe Ambrose , I may as well tell you that my messenger -LRB- for I ca n't go to the station myself -RRB- is that curious old creature whom I mentioned to you in my first letter . Ever since that time he has been perpetually hanging about here for a look at me . I am not sure whether I frighten him or fascinate him ; perhaps I do both together .
