Lucy soon learns that Mr. Emerson is moving into Sir Harry Otway’s rental cottage, with George visiting on weekends.

Lucy intended for the two Misses Alan to live there and is cross with Cecil upon learning that through a chance meeting with the Emersons in London, Cecil recommended the cottage to them. He proclaims his motive was to annoy Sir Harry, who Cecil considers a snob; he believes Harry will find the Emersons to be “too common.”
