I suppose that is one consolation about what's happened to Miss Granger: she avoided being dragged along into this latest rash adventure of his. It's not a year ago yet that she was so very nearly sacrificed to his recklessness--and the price her family paid!

I do agree with you. I don't like that she's in service at all, but I especially worry about having her at the mercy of the whims and thoughtlessness of a mere boy. (And, yes, of course, I can imagine many worse masters for her, but that's not the point.)


I suppose that what I regret really is that we cannot have her in our care.
