What the Arbusers wanted was a simple home in the country, and in obtaining it they were indulging a sentiment of returning to the primitive life of their father, who had come to the city from a hill farm, and had been too busy all his life to recur to the tastes of his boyhood.
The Arbusers were people of consequence in their day, with a certain social prestige; in fact, the excellent ladies were two generations removed from successful mercantile life, which in the remote prospective took on an old-family solidity.
The Arbusers liked to come to this place as early as possible to escape the society exactions of the city. That was another theory of theirs. All their set in the city met there for the same purpose. Margaret was welcomed with open arms. "We have been counting the days," said the elder of the sisters.
If she once loved him, she would approve what he did. He saw much of her in those passing days days that went like a dream to one of them at least. He was a welcome guest at the Arbusers', but he saw little of Margaret alone. It did not matter. A chance look is a volume; a word is a library. They saw each other; they heard each other.

What did it matter? How heartless it all was! what an empty pageant! If he was alienated, there was nothing. And yet she was right. For a moment she thought of the Arbusers. She thought of Carmen. She must see somebody. No, she couldn't talk. She couldn't trust herself. She must bear it alone. And how weary it was, walking, walking, with such a burden!

All the talents seem to be afloat and at the service of the strenuous ones who are cultivating themselves. The first function at which Margaret assisted in the long drawing-rooms of the Arbusers was a serious one one that combined the charm of culture with the temptations of benevolence.
It was therefore arranged that after a visit to Brandon she should pass the warm months with the Arbusers in their summer home at Lenox, with a month the right month in the Eschelle villa at Newport; and he hoped never to be long absent from one place or the other.
