Sir John's own carriage was to arrive to fetch the ladies to the Park. Cherry Court Park was between two and three miles away from Cherry Court School, and Mrs. Clavering and her three pupils greatly enjoyed their drive to the splendid old place.  Kitty had been there twice before, once with her father and once without him, but neither Florence nor Mary had ever seen the interior of the Park.  Mary's exclamations of rapture as they drove under the overhanging trees and down the long winding avenue were frequent and enthusiastic.  Florence, however, scarcely spoke; she was not a girl to be much impressed by external beauty; she was thinking all the time how she could keep the best and most amiable part of her character to the fore.  What did Sir John mean to do?  What sort of test was he going to apply to her?  She felt that she must be armed on every point.
