For the matter of that, I shall be at the school." "I suppose we shall meet some day in town." "Most probably not.

My ways and Lord Ongar's will be altogether different, even if I should succeed in getting up to London.

If you ever come to see Hermione here, I may chance to meet you in the house.

"You don't know what I may care about as Lady Ongar; but as Julia Brabazon I will now say good-by for the last time." Then they parted, and the lady returned to the great house, while Harry Clavering made his way across the park toward the rectory.
Three years before this scene in the gardens at Clavering Park, Lord Brabazon had died at Nice, leaving one unmarried daughter, the lady to whom the reader has just been introduced.

One other daughter he had, who was then already married to Sir Hugh Clavering, and Lady Clavering was the Hermione of whom mention has already been made.
