Miss Green, much mollified by Patricia's ready acknowledgment, beamed over her round spectacles. Laurence Jen was a retired major, a bachelor, and the proprietor of a small estate at Hurstleigh, in Surrey. On leaving the service, he decided--not unwisely--that it was better to be a Triton in the country than a minnow in town; and acting upon this theory he purchased "Ashantee" from a ruined squire.

"I don't know how you managed to get it so well.".
