Presently the smart page-boy bore back this note: "Dear Lady Bellamy, "I will be with you at half-past three. It was with very curious sensations that Philip was that afternoon shown into a richly furnished boudoir in Rewtham House.
When, however, it came to be rumoured that the dog had attacked George because George had struck the dog's mistress, general sympathy veered decidedly towards the dog.

I will repay you every jot, and with interest, too, my lady!" Then he calmed himself, and, ringing a bell, told the servant to tell Lady Bellamy that he had walked on home. When, an hour and a half later, she reached Rewtham House, she found that her husband had been suddenly summoned to London on a matter of business.
With this view, leaving the main road that ran through Rewtham, Bratham, and Isleworth to Roxham, she turned up a little bye-lane which led to the foot of the lake.

For twenty years he has lived as he does now, poring all day over books of accounts, and very rarely seeing anybody, for he does all his business by letter, or nearly all of it, and he has no friends.

It appeared that, having attained her majority, she was coming back to live at her old home at Rewtham, whither she had tried to persuade her Aunt Chambers to accompany her, but without success, that lady being too much attached to Jersey to leave it.
There's nothing she likes better than to slip out of a night, and to go to that there beastly churchyard, saving your presence, for 'company, as she calls it nice sort of company, indeed. And it is just the same way with storms. You remember that dreadful gale a month ago, the one that took down the North Grove and blew the spire off Rewtham Church.
So soon as the carriage had passed through the drive-gates of the Abbey, the squire ordered the coachman to drive to Rewtham House, whither in due course he safely arrived. He was ushered into the drawing-room, whilst a servant went in search of Miss Lee, whom she found walking in the garden. "A gentleman to see you, miss." "I am not at home. Who is it?" "Mr. Caresfoot, miss!"
Even the children coming out of the village school set up a cheer as she passed. "Good gracious, Pigott, what is it all about?" she asked, at last. "Well, you see, miss, they talk of you in the papers as the 'Abbey House heroine' and heroines is rare in these parts." Overwhelmed with so much attention, Angela was thankful when at last they reached Rewtham House.
