The Stanhopes soon found that Mr Slope's power need no longer operate to keep them from the delight of their Italian villa. Before Eleanor's marriage they had all migrated back to the shores of Como. They had not been resettled long before the signora received from Mrs Arabin a very pretty though very short epistle, in which she was informed of the fate of the writer.
"A telegram for Richard Rover," said one of the teachers to the boys a few days later. "Wonder what's up now?" mused Dick as he tore open the yellow envelope. He read the slip inside. "Hurrah! This is the best news yet!" he cried. "What is it?" asked Tom and Sam. "The injunction against the Stanhopes and the Lanings is dissolved by the court. They can keep the fortune.
With them it is the success that disgusts, not the attempt. But Eleanor had not yet learnt to look on her money as a source of danger; she had not begun to regard herself as fair game to be hunted down by hungry gentlemen. She had enjoyed the society of the Stanhopes, she had greatly liked the cordiality of Charlotte, and had been happy in her new friends.
The archdeacon was inclined to look upon the Stanhopes with favourable eyes, and had nothing to object on the matter.

You see, my brothers and I came away in a hurry, for the Stanhopes are close friends of ours." "Don't let the matter of money worry you. Do you know how much I have with me?
The fact, however, was, that Charlotte had learnt from her sister that Mr Slope would probably put himself forward as a suitor for the widow's hand, and she was consequently sufficiently alive to the expediency of guarding Bertie's future wife from any danger in that quarter. Nevertheless the Stanhopes were pledged to take Mr Slope with them to Ullathorne.
And I know all about such excellent people as the Stanhopes. I used to go to what they call 'a pleasant evening' with them. We sat around a big room lit with wax candles, and held improving conversation, or some one sang one or two of Mrs.
"You can remain on board, if you behave yourself, until we reach the mainland." "And what then?" "After that you can make your own terms with Mrs. Stanhope and Dora."
