Their
country
-
place
,
Styles
Court
,
had
been
purchased
by
Mr
.
Cavendish
early
in
their
married
life
.
He
had
been
completely
under
his
wife
’
s
ascendancy
,
so
much
so
that
,
on
dying
,
he
left
the
place
to
her
for
her
lifetime
,
as
well
as
the
larger
part
of
his
income
;
an
arrangement
that
was
distinctly
unfair
to
his
two
sons
.
Their
step
-
mother
,
however
,
had
always
been
most
generous
to
them
;
indeed
,
they
were
so
young
at
the
time
of
their
father
’
s
remarriage
that
they
always
thought
of
her
as
their
own
mother
.
Lawrence
,
the
younger
,
had
been
a
delicate
youth
.
He
had
qualified
as
a
doctor
but
early
relinquished
the
profession
of
medicine
,
and
lived
at
home
while
pursuing
literary
ambitions
;
though
his
verses
never
had
any
marked
success
.
John
practised
for
some
time
as
a
barrister
,
but
had
finally
settled
down
to
the
more
congenial
life
of
a
country
squire
.
He
had
married
two
years
ago
,
and
had
taken
his
wife
to
live
at
Styles
,
though
I
entertained
a
shrewd
suspicion
that
he
would
have
preferred
his
mother
to
increase
his
allowance
,
which
would
have
enabled
him
to
have
a
home
of
his
own
.
Mrs
.
Cavendish
,
however
,
was
a
lady
who
liked
to
make
her
own
plans
,
and
expected
other
people
to
fall
in
with
them
,
and
in
this
case
she
certainly
had
the
whip
hand
,
namely
:
the
purse
strings
.
John
noticed
my
surprise
at
the
news
of
his
mother
’
s
remarriage
and
smiled
rather
ruefully
.
“
Rotten
little
bounder
too
!
”
he
said
savagely
.
“
I
can
tell
you
,
Hastings
,
it
’
s
making
life
jolly
difficult
for
us
.
As
for
Evie
—
you
remember
Evie
?
”
“
No
.
”
“
Oh
,
I
suppose
she
was
after
your
time
.
She
’
s
the
mater
’
s
factotum
,
companion
,
Jack
of
all
trades
!
A
great
sport
—
old
Evie
!
Not
precisely
young
and
beautiful
,
but
as
game
as
they
make
them
.
”
“
You
were
going
to
say
—
—
?
”
“
Oh
,
this
fellow
!
He
turned
up
from
nowhere
,
on
the
pretext
of
being
a
second
cousin
or
something
of
Evie
’
s
,
though
she
didn
’
t
seem
particularly
keen
to
acknowledge
the
relationship
.
The
fellow
is
an
absolute
outsider
,
anyone
can
see
that
.
He
’
s
got
a
great
black
beard
,
and
wears
patent
leather
boots
in
all
weathers
!
But
the
mater
cottoned
to
him
at
once
,
took
him
on
as
secretary
—
you
know
how
she
’
s
always
running
a
hundred
societies
?
”
I
nodded
.
