Miss Enid, having had her own affections wrecked in early youth, spent her time acting as a sort of salvage corps following the devastation caused by her cyclonic mother. When Madam shattered things to bits, Miss Enid tried patiently to remold them nearer to the heart's desire.

I've always been saying, in effect, 'Lead on, Mrs. Percival and I will follow where you lead! You've led me into the depths, Lena, and I'm never going to say that to you any more. You and I have got to remold our relations and start again."
