It was as a lone orphan that she came and went, as a lone orphan that she was the centre of a crush. The neglect of the Hammond Synges gave relief to this character, and she made it worth their while to be, as every one said, too shocking.
How a lady used to ride through Roundwood 'on a curious beast' to visit an uncle of hers in Roundwood Park, and how she married one of the Synges and got her weight in gold eight stone of gold as her dowry stories that referred to events which took place more than a hundred years ago. When he had finished I told him how much I wondered at his knowledge of the country.

Have you got her for the rest of your life?" Once more my hostess genially glared at me. "Did she tell you how much the Hammond Synges have kindly left her to live on? Not quite eighty pounds a year." "That's a good deal, but it won't pay the oculist. What was it that at last induced her to submit to him?" "Her general collapse after that brute of an Iffield's rupture.
What were most of her friends what were all of them but repudiated idiots? I was perfectly aware that in her conversations and confidences I myself for instance had a niche in the gallery. As regards poor Dawling I knew how often he still called on the Hammond Synges. It was not there but under the wing of the Floyd-Taylors that her intimacy with Lord Iffield most flourished.
