My Lady Ludlow

---

I am an old woman now, and things are very different to what they were in my youth. Then we, who travelled,
travelled in coaches, carrying six inside, and making a two days' journey out of what people now go over in a
couple of hours with a whizz and a flash, and a screaming whistle, enough to deafen one. Then letters came in but
three times a week; indeed, in some places in Scotland where I have stayed when I was a girl, the post came in but
once a month; but letters were letters then; and we made great prizes of them, and read them and studied them like
books. Now the post comes rattling in twice a day, bringing short, jerky notes, some without beginning or end, but
just a little sharp sentence, which well−bred folks would think too abrupt to be spoken. Well, well! they may all
be improvements − I dare say they are; but you will never meet with a Lady Ludlow in these days.
