Always and Forever, chapter 6

Oliver takes Amabel to his great-aunt's house. His great-aunt, Lady Haleford, is 87 and has just had a stroke. She doesn't need a nurse, but Oliver and Mrs Fforde want a companion for her. Amabel settles in and is happy enough. Miriam is still chasing after Oliver, despite his obsious disinterest, and when she discovers that a young woman is looking after Lady Haleford, she jumps to all the right conclusions. The chapter ends as Miriam is planning a visit to see Lady Haleford, so she can see Amabel for herself.
