Dont talk to me, miss, said her ladyship. I dont want to hear any nonsense from you! The pretty, frightened girl who shared the drawing-room at this moment with Lady Linden of Cornbridge Manor House had not dared to open her lips. But that was her ladyships way, and Dont talk to me! was a stock expression of hers. Few people were permitted to talk in her ladyships presence. In Cornbridge they spoke of her with bated breath as a rare masterful woman, and they had good cause. Masterful and domineering was Lady Linden of Cornbridge, yet she was kind-hearted, though she tried to disguise the fact. In Cornbridge she reigned supreme, men and women trembled at her approach. She penetrated the homes of the cottagers, she tasted of their foods, she rated them on uncleanliness, drunkenness, and thriftlessness; she lectured them on cooking.
