The Primeros, though the goodnature of the country folk had accorded to the head of them the title of Squire Primero, had been trading Spaniards fifty years ago, and had bought the Bundlesham property from a great duke.
To others the rumour was incredible, but Mr Longestaffe believed it, and to Mr Longestaffe that belief was an agony. A Baron Bundlesham just at his door, and such a Baron Bundlesham, would be more than Mr Longestaffe could endure. It was quite impossible that his daughter should be entertained in London by the Primeros. But another suggestion had been made.
The houses of the gentry around him were superior to his in material comfort and general accommodation, but to none of them belonged that thoroughly established look of old county position which belonged to Carbury. Bundlesham, where the Primeros lived, was the finest house in that part of the county, but it looked as if it had been built within the last twenty years.
And there was Carbury Chase, partly in Carbury parish and partly in Bundlesham, but belonging, unfortunately, in its entirety to the Bundlesham estate. Roger Carbury himself was all alone in the world. His nearest relatives of the name were Sir Felix and Henrietta, but they were no more than second cousins.
