Quittant l’un et l’autre, il était venu se fixer avec sa famille dans une propriété située a un mille de Meryton qui prit des lors le nom de « Lucas Lodge ». La, délivré du joug des affaires, il pouvait a loisir méditer sur son importance et s’appliquer a devenir l’homme le plus courtois de l’univers.
