She had been with them about a week . She was an actress from the city and had around her all the glamour of a strange , unknown life . Nothing was known about her . The Boweses liked her well enough as a boarder . Estella admired and held her in awe . She wondered what Spencer would think of this beautiful woman . He had not yet seen her . It was quite dark when he came . Estella opened the gate for him , but he got out of his buggy and walked up the lane beside her with his arm about her . Miss LeMar 's light had removed to the parlour where she was singing , accompanying herself on the cottage organ . Estella felt annoyed . The parlour was considered her private domain on Wednesday and Saturday night , but Miss LeMar did not know that . `` Who is singing ? '' asked Spencer . `` What a voice she has ! '' `` That 's our new boarder , Miss LeMar , '' answered Estella . `` She 's an actress and sings and does everything . She is awfully pretty , Spencer . '' `` Yes ? '' said the young man indifferently .
He was not in the least interested in the XXXXX ' new boarder .
