Sir Fletcher Portwood.
I do not ask what scheme.
Mrs. Cloys.
Theophila returns to St. Olpherts at once with us. She will rest there two or three days, by which time I shall have found a suitable house in town——
Mrs. Emptage.
In town——?
Mrs. Cloys.
The bishop and I have not had a house in town for some years. Mr. Fraser kindly sees house agents this afternoon.
Sir Fletcher Portwood.
