He kept an excellent house in London, but having no country house of his own passed much of his time at Rufford Hall when the owner was not there.
"I don't care what you're doing," said Larry in his misery. "You are an infernal blackguard and that's the best of you." Chowton Farm for Sale. John Morton had returned to town soon after his walk into Dillsborough and had there learned from different sources that both Arabella Trefoil and Lord Rufford had gone or were going to Mistletoe.
He felt assured that up to that time he had said nothing which could be taken to mean a real declaration of love. All that at Rufford had been nothing. He had never said a word which could justify the girl in a hope. In the carriage she had asked him whether he loved her, and he had said that he did.

That was Runce's idea of the matter.
Of course Lord Rufford went on straight and of course Arabella had to turn with her aunt. "Such conduct as this is shocking," began the Duchess. "Aunt, let me tell you." "What can you tell me?" "I can tell you a great deal if you will let me. Of course I am quite prepared to own that I did not intend to tell you anything."
