All well at Chaldicotes ?" "Pretty bobbish, Mr.Robarts.Deal of life going on here now, sir.
The bishop and his lady came this morning." "Oh--ah--yes! I understood they were to be here.

Any of the young ladies ?" "One young lady.

Miss Olivia, I think they call her, your reverence." "And how's Mr.Sowerby ?" "Very well, your reverence.

He, and Mr.Harold Smith, and Mr.
Fothergill--that's the duke's man of business, you know--is getting off their horses now in the stable-yard there." "Home from hunting--eh, Bob ?" "Yes, sir, just home, this minute." And then Mr.Robarts walked into the house, his portmanteau following on a foot-boy's shoulder.
It will be seen that our young vicar was very intimate at Chaldicotes; so much so that the groom knew him, and talked to him about the people in the house.

Yes; he was intimate there: much more than he had given the Framley people to understand.
