4/18 So I said that nothing would please me more than to see this castle. On reaching the castle, Mr.Scroope was told that Lord Ragnall, whom he knew well, was out shooting somewhere in the park, but that, of course, he could show his friend over the place. So we went in, the three of us, for Miss Manners, to whom Scroope was to be married very shortly, had driven us over in her pony carriage. The porter at the gateway towers took us to the main door of the castle and handed us over to another man, whom he addressed as Mr.Savage, whispering to me that he was his lordship's personal attendant. |
