Sowerby could not or would not live at Chaldicotes; and, therefore, in the second year of their marriage, that place was prepared for them. They are now well known to the whole county as Dr. and Mrs. Thorne of Chaldicotes, of Chaldicotes, in distinction to the well-known Thornes of Ullathorne in the eastern division.
Mr Thorne's study was at the end of the drawing-room, and beyond that were the kitchen and the offices. Doors opened into both Miss Thorne's withdrawing-room and Mr Thorne's sanctum from the passage above alluded to; which, as it came to the latter room, widened itself so as to make space for the huge black oak stairs, which led to the upper region.

Nevertheless the Stanhopes were pledged to take Mr Slope with them to Ullathorne.

Madeline Neroni consented to her sister's proposal, and then the two ladies again went off in quest of Bertie Stanhope. Ullathorne Sports Act III And now Miss Thorne's guests were beginning to take their departure, and the amusement of those who remained was becoming slack.
"We all know that you proposed to the lady the other day at Ullathorne. Tell us with what words she accepted you. Was it with a simple 'yes, or with the two 'no no's' which make an affirmative? Or did silence give consent? Or did she speak out with that spirit which so well becomes a widow and say openly, 'By my troth, sir, you shall make me Mrs. Slope as soon as it is your pleasure to do so."
