Ongar Park would just suit Mrs. Courton" Mrs. Courton was the widowed mother of the young earl "and they would be very happy to buy your interest."
This Brigade, after about a week spent in reorganisation, moved up to Chaumuzy and the Bois de Courton, where it did good work in a counter-attack on the Bligny ridge.

You would be making a present of that sum of money to people who do not want it who have no claim upon you. I really don't see how they could take it." "Mrs. Courton wishes to have the place very much." "But, my lady, she has never thought of getting it without paying for it.
