About this book
'Up the Country' is a set of letters by Emily Eden, written to her sister from the Upper Provinces of India. The title page names Emily Eden as the authoress of The Semi-Detached House and The Semi-Attached Couple. An entry headed Dinapore, Thursday, Nov. 9, says the party arrived in excellent time for their ball and to see G.'s landing, which by moonlight and torchlight was a very pretty sight.
The writer says Mr. G. danced three times with Miss H., which is considered here equal to a proposal and a half. A passage says that in the afternoon Sir W. C., B., W., M., and two or three more went on elephants to compliment the Maharajah. An entry headed Tuesday, Jan. 7 quotes the old nurse in Miss Edgeworth's Ormond, "I am too old entirely for these quick changes," and adds that the writer is glad of this one.
