Don't talk to me, miss, said her ladyship. "I don't 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 ladyship's
way, and "Don't talk to me " was a stock expression of hers. Few
people were permitted to talk in her ladyship's 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.
