In the handsome parlour of Cressingham Abbey, commonly called
White-Ladies, on a dull afternoon in January, 1712, sat Madam and
her granddaughter, Rhoda, sipping tea. Madam-and nothing else, her
dependants would have thought it an impertinence to call her Mrs
Furnival. Never was Empress of all the Russias more despotic in her
wide domain than Madam in her narrow one. As to Mr Furnival-for
there had been such a person, though it was a good while since-he
was a mere appendage to Madam's greatness-useful in the way of
collecting rents and seeing to repairs, and capable of being put
away when done with. He was a little, meek, unobtrusive man, fully
(and happily) convinced of his own insignificance, and ready to
sink himself in his superb wife as he might receive orders.

Give you good-morrow, neighbour! Whither away with that great
fardel [Bundle], prithee? "Truly, Mistress, home to Staplehurst,
and the fardel holdeth broadcloth for my lads' new jerkins." The
speakers were two women, both on the younger side of middle age,
who met on the road between Staplehurst and Cranbrook, the former
coming towards Cranbrook and the latter from it. They were in the
midst of that rich and beautiful tract of country known as the
Weald of Kent, once the eastern part of the great Andredes Weald, a
vast forest which in Saxon days stretched from Kent to the border
of Hampshire. There was still, in 1556, much of the forest about
the Weald, and even yet it is a well-wooded part of the country,
the oak being its principal tree, though the beech sometimes grows
to an enormous size. Trees of the Weald were sent to Rome for the
building of Saint Peter's.
