又过了一两天,耶茨先生也走了。对于他的辞别,托马斯爵士尤感称心。他就喜欢自己一家人关起门来过日子,即使是一个比耶茨先生强的客人住在家里,也会让他感到厌烦。何况耶茨先生轻薄自负、好逸恶劳、挥霍无度,真是让人厌烦透顶。他本来就是个令人厌倦的人,但是作为汤姆的朋友和朱莉娅的心上人,他更让托马斯爵士反感。克劳福德先生是去是留,托马斯爵士毫不在乎——但是他把耶茨先生送到门口,祝他一路平安的时候,心里着实高兴。耶茨先生亲眼看到了曼斯菲尔德取消了演戏的一切准备工作,清除了演戏用的每一样东西,他走的时候,大宅里已经恢复了清清静静的平常面貌。托马斯爵士把他送出门的时候,希望家里清除了与演戏有关的最恶劣的一个人,也是势必使他联想到在此演过戏的最后一个家伙。
诺里斯太太把一样可能会惹他生气的东西搬走了,没让他看见。她把她大显其能张罗做得那么精致的幕布给拿回农舍了,她碰巧特别需要绿色绒布。
