"A pretty little place that," said Mr. Braefield, with a sort of lordly compassion, as became the owner of Braefieldville. "What I call quaint." "Yes, quaint," echoed Kenelm, abstractedly.

"That big London man whom they call Sir Thomas mentioned her name the day we dined at Braefieldville." "I remember, as having been at the Court ball." "He said she was very handsome." "So she is." "Is she a poem too?" "No; that never struck me." "Mr. Emlyn, I suppose, would call her perfectly brought up, well educated. He would not raise his eyebrows at her as he does at me, poor me, Cinderella!"
Braefield; and, though his house may be larger than Braefieldville, it is not so smartly furnished, and has no such luxurious hothouses and conservatories. My father's tastes are like mine, very simple. Give him his library, and he would scarcely miss his fortune if he lost it. He has in this one immense advantage over me." "You would miss fortune?" said Lily, quickly.
Melville? does he still very seldom come here?" "To say truth, he has not been at all since I settled at Braefieldville. The place was left to my mother for her life, and I was not much there during her occupation. In fact, I was then a junior partner in our firm, and conducted the branch business in New York, coming over to England for my holiday once a year or so.

Thus, though it became known at Moleswich that a young gentleman, the heir to a baronetcy and a high estate, was sojourning at Cromwell Lodge, no overtures were made to him on the part of the A's, B's, and C's. The vicar, who called on Kenelm the day after the dinner at Braefieldville, explained to him the social conditions of the place.

The house, built by some ambitious Chillingly three centuries ago, would have been large for an owner of thrice the revenues; and though the flower-garden was smaller than that at Braefieldville, there were paths and drives through miles of young plantations and old woodlands that furnished lazy occupation to an army of labourers.
