She had since remained in England, living in a small lodge near the ruins of her father's house at Bolsover, to obtain what she could for his maintenance abroad, and to collect together such remnants of the better times as she might, such as the family portraits, and the hangings of the hall.
Subsequently it again reverted to John, who, in the eighteenth year of his reign, issued a mandate to Bryan de L'Isle, the then governor of Bolsover, to fortify the castle and hold it against the rebellious barons; or, if he could not make it tenable, to demolish it.

"I see you remember it," he said. "Lady Bolsover should not have taken you, it was no place for a woman indeed, she and I almost quarrelled about it afterwards.

Now a man like Bolsover an aristocrat, with fifty or more acknowledged relatives in good position think how many more there must be in out-of-the-way places, poor and unknown. Ay, and some of them not so very distant kinsfolk either.
"I am grateful for the reservation," said Lady Bolsover, "or I should be compelled to think that all my care of you during these last few months had been wasted." "Oh, no; I have learnt many things many things that it is good for me to know.
Said so to the Colonel can see him now, sitting there, looking very sick and cut up, and Bolsover, acting adjutant, blinking like an owl." "Be quiet!" Blake said in alarm, for the man had been a lieutenant of native infantry when they had met on the hill campaign.
