Miss Kenton leaves Darlington Hall and marries someone else After the war Darlington Hall is taken over by an American Congressman, Mr Lewis Stevens, still in service, sets off to see Miss Kenton in Clevedon, hoping to set his “mistake” right Miss Kenton tells him about her marriage being broken up and again circumstances are against a relationship: Miss Kenton is going to be a grandmother and therefore refuses Stevens’ offer to return to Darlington Hall to her former position
