[Lady Connie by Mrs. Humphry Ward]@TWC D-Link bookLady Connie CHAPTER VII 27/46
But there are a few--and quite possible. There are the Kenbarrows, about four miles off--a large family--_nouveaux riches_--the father made buttons, or something of the kind.
But the children are all most presentable, and enormously rich. And, of course, there are the Fallodens--quite near--Mr.and Lady Laura, Douglas, the eldest son, a girl of seventeen, and two children.
You'll probably see Douglas at Oxford.
Oh, I believe Sir Arthur Falloden, _pere_, told me the other day you had already met him somewhere. Winifred and I don't like Douglas.
But that's neither here nor there. He's a magnificent creature, who can't be bothered with old ladies. He'll no doubt make himself agreeable to you--_cela va sans dire_.
