Clara was in the hall when Belton arrived, and received him as he entered, enveloped in his damp great-coats. 'It is so good of you to come in such weather, she said. 'Nice seasonable weather, I call it, he said.
She had tried to console herself by the conviction that Lady Aylmer not Frederic had been the sinner; but even in that consolation there had been the terrible flaw that the words had come to her written by Frederic's hand. Could Will Belton have written such a letter to his future wife?

The older members of the family endured the ordeal very well; but little "Lessie" always screamed as if she was being tortured, and James Henry received many kicks and scratches from Belton before he was through combing Belton's hair.
