Then, her fine English servants take her house out of her hands.

She is afraid of them.

The butler suavely tries to inform her; the housekeeper removed the white crotcheted scarfs and things from the gilded chairs, and I am sure Mrs.Denning had a heartache about their loss; but she saw that they had also vanished from Dora's parlor, so she took the hint, and accepted the lesson.

Really, her humility and isolation are pitiful.

I am going to ask grandmother to go and see her.
