When at last he was free to put himself at her disposal, a dozen men had jumped his claim. The manager of Redford met him when a few miles from the place.
"Redford is a beautiful place quite one of the show-places of the district and they do things very well there. Mary is ostensibly the housekeeper; she really does all the hard work, but it is Deb who makes the house what it is. After she came home from school she got her father to build the new part. Since then they have had much more company than they used to have.
You fellows nowadays, you don't know what fun is, nor how to go a-courting, nor anything.... I was at old Redford that year, and she was at Wellwood, and all through the sleet and snow I rode there after dark, tied my horse to a tree, crept up that nut-walk you know it? and round by the east terrace to the porch, and laid my valentine on the door-step, and clanged the bell, and hid behind the yew-fence till the man came out to get it.
"He is my manager at Redford." Mr Dalzell smiled darkly. "He likes that, I suppose?" "I don't know whether he likes it or not, I'm sure, but I do. I know that everything's right when he is there." "Married?" "Lawks, no! The most confirmed old bachelor on the face of the earth." They fell silent again, still gazing into the room.

"Three," she murmured, "is certainly an awkward number." In the end the party became rather a large one, for Lord Redford met some old friends at the club who insisted upon their joining tables.
She looked up at him with narrowing eyes and stiffening lips. "What IS there to do?" she returned. "Are you going to put up with this this outrage to condone everything to tolerate that fellow at Redford, taking the position of a son of the house, or are you going to show them both that they have forfeited their right ever to set foot upon the place again?" "My sister too, you mean?"
"I meant to tell you. I brought you here to tell you. I made my mistake when I let Leslie Borrowdean take you back to Lord Redford just as we were entering the rose-garden at Bayleigh. Do you remember? I made my mistake when I suffered anything in this great world to come between me and a woman's only chance of happiness!
The summer holidays not only brought home Allen Brownlow from Eton, but renewed his mother's intercourse with several of her friends, who so contrived their summer outing as to "see how poor little Mrs. Brownlow was getting on," and she hailed them as fragments of her dear old former life. Mr. and Mrs. Acton came to a farmhouse at Redford, about a mile and a half off, where Mr.
Redford felt a little surprise, and more than a little discomfort, at the peculiar conduct of his captain; but he comforted himself with the thought that if he should attempt any violence, there was a brace of pistols in his belt, and a cutlass at his side.
