The Bertram Family Album: Volume XVIII
They may be a family of solid introverts, but the Sanditon Bertrams have been entertaining a stream of visitors lately.
Julia's youngest brother William drops by.
Cousin Janet comes home from school with Julius, but ends up spending time with the littlest Bertram, Timothy, and his Wobbly Wabbit.
And old friend Georgiana calls in too.
It's all a bit much for Crawford, when he comes home from work with a stinking cold, so he escapes into a soothing bubble bath.
And Francesca retreats to the garden, to lose herself in the night sky.
The next morning, Crawford is feeling a bit brighter.
The boys are - uncharacteristically - playing contentedly together.
While poor Julia is being insulted in her own home by a random stranger who invited himself in!
In complete contrast to his Shy and Serious (and frequently Grouchy) family, little Timothy is a ray of sunshine, and brightens everyone's lives.
