Even when a demesne only is leased by a "foreigner," and all risk of quarrelling with tenants is thus avoided, it is hard work to achieve popularity. As I drove up the avenue of a dwelling thus inhabited, I asked the driver what he and the country-side thought of the new tenant of the old house.

"Who is this this woman?" she demanded. "Dolly," Betty whispered under her breath. "Miss Dolores Ferrara of Squitty Cove," Norman answered imperturbably. "A foreigner besides. Great Heavens!
