And at that critical moment there came strolling round the corner of the hedge a group of grown-ups Sir Nevil Sinclair with Mrs Bradley, Lady Roscoe, Lady Despard and Roy's godfather, the distinguished novelist, Cuthbert Broome. Mudford and his barrow departed; and Tara looked appealingly at her mother.
I send you his note, and you can make what you like of it. I am intending a little jaunt to his country, and we mean to visit sundry old castles in Aberdeenshire, and wish you were of the party. I hope you have been passing your time agreeably. With best compliments to all friends, I remain, my dear Sir Walter, ever yours, Written by William Mudford, born 1782, died 1848.
