She gave the head-gardener the benefit of her unrestricted smile, and shed among all the retainers a bountiful largesse of good-humour. Still noting the beauties of Roselawn, they discussed their children. She learned that Malcolm was on leave from the th Hussars, and was golfing in, and yachting off, Scotland with scions of the Scottish nobility.
At the door of one of the greenhouses beyond, Deleah, in her black muslin dress and wide black hat, was standing in conversation with Jarvis, the head-gardener. Part of her duty, he had been told, was to wheedle Jarvis out of the flowers Miss Forcus liked to see in her rooms, but of which he resented the cutting.
