Life And Letters Of Maria Edgeworth/Volume 2/Letter 143
To MISS MARGARET RUXTON.
TRIM, March 1, 1846.
Pakenham and Christina[1] arrived here in excellent time, charmed with their kind reception at Black Castle. From the first moment I set eyes and ears upon Christina I liked her,—it seemed to me as if she was not a new bride coming a stranger amongst us, but one of the family fitting at once into her place as a part of a joining map that had been wanting and is now happily found.
