She says so herself. So that makes Mr Crawley quite innocent. I am so glad." "But isn't it odd he didn't say so?" said Miss Prettyman. "Nevertheless, it's true." said Mary. "Perhaps he forgot," said Anne Prettyman. "Men don't forget such things as that," said the elder sister. "I really do think that Mr Crawley could forget anything," said the younger sister.
There was sunshine on the turf, and a thin shade was cast by the drooping boughs of the plum tree; just enough to shelter old eyes from the glare. When she was very tired with doing her work Mrs. Prettyman would totter out into the garden.
Prettyman to leave the cottage; legally right also when she declines to give compensation for the plum tree that has been a source of income; financially right moreover in selling cottage and land at a fancy price to find money for needed improvements on the estate."

I shall never forget what I once heard you say to Prettyman: and it's no excuse that you'd taken so much wine you didn't know what you were saying at the time; for wine brings out man's wickedness, just as fire brings out spots of grease.
"Yes, willingly enough, for I see nothing before me but to take Nurse Prettyman and depart in the first steamer for America." Mrs. Loring looked as if she were quite capable of this rather radical proceeding, and very much, too, as if any growing love for Lavendar that she might have, would easily give way under this new pressure of circumstances.
Two of Centerport's detective force had been working on the case ever since the stranger had been knocked down on Market Street, and, like Chet Belding and his friends, the detectives finally had come to the conclusion that Prettyman Sweet's automobile was the only Perriton car in the city that had not been in storage on that night.
