FAIRLEIGH (Frank), the pseudonym of F.E. Smedley, editor of Sharpe's London Magazine (1848, 1849).

It was in this magazine that Smedley's two novels, Frank Fairleigh and Louis Arundel were first published.

Among the contributors was Frank Smedley, author of "Frank Fairleigh.

He did not waste an hour in London, but went straight from one station to another, and was in time to catch a train for Fairleigh, the station nearest to Lidford.

After a good deal of trouble, Gilbert ascertained that this woman had not accompanied her young mistress when she left Lidford, but had taken service in a grocer's family at Fairleigh.

He called upon the proprietor of Hazel Cottage, an auctioneer, surveyor, and house-agent in the High-street of Fairleigh, but could obtain no fresh tidings from this gentleman, except the fact that the money realised by the Captain's furniture had been sent to Miss Nowell at a post-office in the City, and had been duly acknowledged by her, after a delay of about a week.

No one either at Lidford or Fairleigh had ever heard of Mr. Holbrook.

Of course I hed ter work and den I went ter nurse foh Dr. Fairleigh and nussed his daughter Madge.
