Shell be wanting to run your Stores for you next, and just because shes been{287} to lunch with Lord Inverbroom. I never heard of such impertinence as Miss Propert giving her opinion. Youll have trouble with your Miss Propert. You ought to give her one of your good snubs, or dismiss her altogether. That would be far the best.He knew quite well that he was adopting a bullying tone. But he had no inclination to be bullied himself. One or other of them had to be vanquished over this, and he was quite determined that he would not hold the white flag.
