It was the Doctor who gave Virginia news of the Judge, and sometimes he would mention Mrs. Brice.
I've got some of his stuff up in the hut: rather academic, the kind daguerreotyped young men with high stocks used to study by one candle. What do you suspect a will, or a love-letter slipped in behind a cover and forgotten? It can't be a will. Old Crow didn't have anything to leave." Amelia's hands trembled a little. A brighter rose had encircled the permanent red of her cheeks.

In the privacy of the parlour Merle had a good laugh with Mavis over what they termed her first love-letter. "'Oh, for the wings of a dove!" quoted Merle. "It's so Biblical, isn't it? He's a dear, all the same! I love him better even than Constable. He's such a bright little chap. Don't tell Clive, or he'd tease Madox to death about this. It must be an absolute secret.
