I
received
a
letter
from
Evelyn
Howard
a
couple
of
days
after
her
departure
,
telling
me
she
was
working
as
a
nurse
at
the
big
hospital
in
Middlingham
,
a
manufacturing
town
some
fifteen
miles
away
,
and
begging
me
to
let
her
know
if
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
should
show
any
wish
to
be
reconciled
.
The
only
fly
in
the
ointment
of
my
peaceful
days
was
Mrs
.
Cavendish
’
s
extraordinary
,
and
,
for
my
part
,
unaccountable
preference
for
the
society
of
Dr
.
Bauerstein
.
What
she
saw
in
the
man
I
cannot
imagine
,
but
she
was
always
asking
him
up
to
the
house
,
and
often
went
off
for
long
expeditions
with
him
.
I
must
confess
that
I
was
quite
unable
to
see
his
attraction
.
The
16th
of
July
fell
on
a
Monday
.
It
was
a
day
of
turmoil
.
The
famous
bazaar
had
taken
place
on
Saturday
,
and
an
entertainment
,
in
connection
with
the
same
charity
,
at
which
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
was
to
recite
a
War
poem
,
was
to
be
held
that
night
.
We
were
all
busy
during
the
morning
arranging
and
decorating
the
Hall
in
the
village
where
it
was
to
take
place
.
We
had
a
late
luncheon
and
spent
the
afternoon
resting
in
the
garden
.
I
noticed
that
John
’
s
manner
was
somewhat
unusual
.
He
seemed
very
excited
and
restless
.
After
tea
,
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
went
to
lie
down
to
rest
before
her
efforts
in
the
evening
and
I
challenged
Mary
Cavendish
to
a
single
at
tennis
.
About
a
quarter
to
seven
,
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
called
us
that
we
should
be
late
as
supper
was
early
that
night
.
We
had
rather
a
scramble
to
get
ready
in
time
;
and
before
the
meal
was
over
the
motor
was
waiting
at
the
door
.
The
entertainment
was
a
great
success
,
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
’
s
recitation
receiving
tremendous
applause
.
There
were
also
some
tableaux
in
which
Cynthia
took
part
.
She
did
not
return
with
us
,
having
been
asked
to
a
supper
party
,
and
to
remain
the
night
with
some
friends
who
had
been
acting
with
her
in
the
tableaux
.
The
following
morning
,
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
stayed
in
bed
to
breakfast
,
as
she
was
rather
overtired
;
but
she
appeared
in
her
briskest
mood
about
12
.
30
,
and
swept
Lawrence
and
myself
off
to
a
luncheon
party
.
“
Such
a
charming
invitation
from
Mrs
.
Rolleston
.
Lady
Tadminster
’
s
sister
,
you
know
.
The
Rollestons
came
over
with
the
Conqueror
—
one
of
our
oldest
families
.
”
Mary
had
excused
herself
on
the
plea
of
an
engagement
with
Dr
.
Bauerstein
.
We
had
a
pleasant
luncheon
,
and
as
we
drove
away
Lawrence
suggested
that
we
should
return
by
Tadminster
,
which
was
barely
a
mile
out
of
our
way
,
and
pay
a
visit
to
Cynthia
in
her
dispensary
.
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
replied
that
this
was
an
excellent
idea
,
but
as
she
had
several
letters
to
write
she
would
drop
us
there
,
and
we
could
come
back
with
Cynthia
in
the
pony
-
trap
.
