Cary Nethercott, and Sir James Radcliffe had also won her liking, but both these kindly gentlemen were in their thirties, which was probably why she didn't retire into her shell when they came to Inglehurst, but chatted away to them in the most natural style imaginable. She even told Mr Nethercott all about the lurid romance she was reading to Lady Silverdale, when she was seated beside him at dinner one evening. Henrietta heard her doing it, and was moved to silent admiration of the goodnature which made him listen with apparent interest to the tangled story that was being described to him. As for Charlie, she had little doubt that if some dashing beauty were to come within his ken he would have no thoughts to spare for Cherry.
Cary Nethercott und Sir James Radcliffe hatten ebenfalls ihre Neigung gewonnen, aber diese beiden freundlichen Herren standen in den Dreißigern, wahrscheinlich der Grund, warum Cherry sich nicht in ihr Schneckenhaus zurückzog, wenn sie nach Inglehurst kamen, sondern ganz natürlich mit ihnen plauderte. Sie erzählte Mr. Nethercott, als er einmal beim Abendessen ihr Tischherr war, alles über die düstere Romanze, die sie eben Lady Silverdale vorlas. Henrietta hörte es und wurde zu stummer Bewunderung der Gutmütigkeit bewogen, die ihn mit scheinbarem Interesse der verworrenen Geschichte lauschen ließ. Was Charlie betraf, so hegte Henrietta wenig Zweifel, daß er, wäre irgendeine blendende Schönheit in seinen Gesichtskreis geraten, keinen Gedanken für Cherry erübrigt hätte.
