"No doubt so far as Mr. Stanways himself is concerned it will be all right," rejoined Cicely, musingly "But if, as you say, the man Oliver Leach cursed you, it isn't pleasant to think he is hanging around here." "He isn't hanging round anywhere," declared Maryllia, easily "He is out of this beat altogether.
During these pleasant days at Stratford, I went about in between the performances of "Henry VIII." which was, I think, given three times a week for three weeks seeing the lovely country and lovely friends who live there. To see her looking so handsome, robust and fresh so happy in her beautiful home, gave me the keenest pleasure. I also went to Stanways the Elchos' home a fascinating place.
What would the other mothers think? What would all Hillport think secretly, and say openly behind the backs of the Stanways? The girl was as innocent as a fawn, she had the free grace of extreme youth; no one could utter a word against her. But she was rouged, her lips were painted, several times she had shown her knees, and she seemed incapable of shyness.
"That will be delightful!" said Alicia Stanways, a bright little woman, whose introduction and supervision of a 'model dairy' on the Abbot's Manor estate was the pride of her life "It really makes all the people happy to see you! Little Ipsie Frost was actually crying for you the other day." "Was she? Poor little soul! The idea of a child crying for me! It's quite a novel experience!"
If wot they all sez is true, there'll be a weddin' 'ere soon, Passon'll marry Miss Vancourt to the future Dook, an' away they'll go, an' Abbot's Manor'll be shut up again as it used to afore. An' the onny change we'll 'ave will be Mr. Stanways for agent 'stead of Oliver Leach which is a blessin' for Stanways is a decent, kindly man, an' Oliver Leach well now!"
"Oh, he is still in the neighbourhood," said Maryllia, indifferently "He works for Sir Morton Pippitt, and I believe has found a home at Badsworth. His accounts are not yet all handed in to my solicitors. But I have a new agent now, a Mr. Stanways he is just married to quite a nice young woman, and he has already begun work. Mr. Stanways has splendid recommendations so that will be all right."
