I am afraid Sir Charles might not quite like your remaining in Deadham directly after leaving his house.

It might be awkward, and give rise to tiresome enquiries and comment.

One has to consider those things .-- No--I think it would be a far better plan that you should spend a week at Stourmouth.

That would give us time to see our way more clearly.

I know of some quite nice rooms kept by a former maid of Lady Bulparc's.
