He crunched the letter up and cast it on one side. Of course he would not answer that. The third was from a new correspondent; and that also the reader shall see; "MY DEAR LORD MARQUIS, Pray believe that had I known under what great affliction you were labouring when you left Rudham Park I should have been the last man in the world to intrude myself upon you.
"Ta, ta," said the Marquis, as he gave his attention to the servant who was collecting the fruit, and the flowers, and the flask. Lord George then passed on out of the station, and saw no more of his brother. "Of course he is going to Rudham," said Lady Susanna, when she heard the story.

Of course he went in to lunch, and in a moment was shaking hands with Mary, who in truth was delighted to see him. "You've come from Rudham?" asked the Dean. "This moment."
