He had several interviews with Leyburn, the Vicar Apostolic, with Godden, the chaplain and almoner of the Queen Dowager, and with Bonaventure Giffard, a theologian trained to polemics in the schools of Douay.

Mrs. Williams told Joanna that it was such opinions which were keeping back the country from some goal unspecified. "Besides, you have to think of other women, Miss Godden other women who aren't so fortunate and independent as yourself."

These valuations helped to restore her self-confidence and support the inspection which Agatha was conducting on her side. "Reckon the price of my clothes ud buy everything in this room," she thought to herself. "Did you have a comfortable journey, Miss Godden?" asked Mrs. Hill. "You needn't call her Miss Godden, ma," said Albert, "she's going to be one of the family."
