Can You Forgive Her? Chapter X - Nethercoats

In which we accompany Mr. Grey to his modest but charming country estate in the unadorned flatness of Cambridgeshire, and observe his thoughtful reflections upon a letter from Alice Vavasor, whose delicate hesitation about their impending marriage stirs in him a tender hope and resolve. The correspondence reveals the profound differences in their worlds and intentions, as Alice cautiously counsels patience while Mr. Grey prepares to bridge the distance between them with a visit to London.
