A Matter of Class
A Matter of Class
“Not to his parents’ home, anyway. He had seen them several times in the meanwhile, though. They sometimes came to London when he was there, usually during the spring, when he enjoyed socializing with the friends he had made at school and university and with the sons and daughters of his parents’ friends, whom he had known all his life. And they often came to stay with him at Willows End, the home and estate that had been unofficially his since his twenty-first birthday.
He liked being there. He... loved the house, an old early-Georgian manor, and the park. And he liked pitching in with the work of the farm, getting his hands dirty with soil, acquiring an all-over sweat, pulling calves from distressed cows, shearing sheep. The farm was even turning a modest profit under his management.
