Our poor old Tabby is dead and buried.

Reaction of a reader Stay at home artist:

Yes buried Feb 17th 1855, the same day that Charlotte changed her will and left Arthur everything, he would wanted nothing, but her.

He was the one who spoke the prayers over Tabby's grave. A burial service Charlotte would only have to look out of her bedroom window to see, but was perhaps too weak to do so.

  1. I made a mistake there. Tabby died the same day that Charlotte changed her will...but was buried some days later as was custom. But Arthur did indeed read the service

    imo not enough attention has been given to Tabby's illness and death in connection to Charlotte's own.

    It's now seemingly written in stone CBN died because of complications during pregnancy. But it's just as likely Charlotte was contaminated by whatever infectious disease Tabby had while nursing her in the earlier stages of her illness .

    One of Charlotte's last letters in ink is to a doctor about Tabby's illness
