Mr.E.Holliday Kendrick having taken possession of his new estate, immediately set about the improving and enlarging which Mr.Daniels had quoted him as contemplating.

Carpenters, painters and gardeners were at work daily.

The Kendrick motor cars and the Kendrick servants were much in evidence along East Wellmouth's main road.

What had been done by the great man and his employees and what would be done in the near future kept the gossips busy.

He was planning a new rose garden--"the finest from Buzzard's Bay down"; he had torn out the "whole broadside" of the music-room and was "cal'latin'" to make it twice as large as formerly; he was to build a large conservatory on the knoll by the stables.
