Lady 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_.
