Are you going as high as Belmont?

(Persuasion, by Jane Austen)

(Persuasion, by Jane Austen)

She hoped when clear of Milsom Street to have her curiosity gratified; but she was still obliged to wait, for the Admiral had made up his mind not to begin till they had gained the greater space and quiet of Belmont; and as she was not really Mrs Croft, she must let him have his own way.
