Do so at once, and say that you will go to Plaistow. In any event it will be better for you. Clara, when she was alone, did answer her cousin's letter, but she did not accept the invitation that had been given her.
Then he started, and did walk to Denvir Sluice and back in three hours. The road from Plaistow Hall to Denvir Sluice was not in itself interesting. It ran through a perfectly flat country, without a tree. For the greater part of the way it was constructed on the top of a great bank by the side of a broad dike, and for five miles its course was straight as a line.
Will, who had not touched his coffee, and who was sitting stiffly at the table as though he were bound in duty not to move, was becoming more and more grim every moment. She almost repented that she had asked him to remain with them. Certainly there was no comfort in his company, either to them or to himself. 'How long shall you remain in town, Will, before you go down to Plaistow? she asked.
'Yes Plaistow is in Norfolk. 'I suppose you'll leave it now and go into Somersetshire, suggested Captain Aylmer. 'Certainly not. Why should I leave it? 'I thought, perhaps as Belton Castle is now your own' 'Plaistow Hall is more my own than Belton Castle, if that signifies anything which it doesn't. This he said in an angry tone, which, as he became conscious of it, he tried to rectify.
I only suggested to him that it might suit him to live at Belton instead of at that farm of his, down in Norfolk. 'He is very fond of Plaistow, I fancy. 'But that's no reason why he should be cross with me. I don't envy him his taste, that's all.
You must allow that, and I think that I ought to be rewarded. 'As for living, you shall have your choice. Indeed you shall live anywhere you please at Timbuctoo if you like it. I don't want to give up Plaistow, because my father and grandfather farmed the land themselves; but I am quite prepared not to live here. I don't think it would suit you, because it has so much of the farm-house about it.
Plaistow, having definitely promised it to Miss Mapp ... but Miss Mapp's large-mindedness scorned to recall the sordid details of this paltry appropriation. The heat had quite subsided, and Miss Mapp was, for her part, quite prepared to let the coolness regain the normal temperature of cordiality the moment that Mrs. Plaistow returned that worsted.
With what precise words Clara answered her lover's letter I will not say; but her answer was of such a nature that he found himself compelled to leave Plaistow, even before the wheat was garnered. Great confidence was placed in Bunce on that occasion, and I have reason to believe that it was not misplaced.
They were married in September yes, in September, although that letter of Will's was written in August, and by the beginning of October they had returned from their wedding trip to Plaistow. Clara insisted that she should be taken to Plaistow, and was very anxious when there to learn all the particulars of the farm.
He was an old bachelor, and his house stood in a great garden for Plaistow in those days was a picturesque village and out of the plentiful fruit thereof his housekeeper made the most wonderful of jams and jellies. Oh, they were good, those teas!
