MR. MANNERING was called "the Captain" in the village of Woodern Green,
which is on the southern edge of Buckingham. Possibly because of his
military appearance and the frigidity of his manner; though why captains
are supposed to be frigid nobody knows.

He lived at Hexleigh Manor, which was a small house in a large park, and
by all accounts he was a gentleman who had no great store of money. The
Manor was something of a derelict when he rented it at a ridiculously low
sum. The repairs upon which previous would-be tenants had insisted were
apparently executed by the new tenant without the assistance of local
builders, according to their account.

The captain had a staff of three, two of whom lived in the house and the
third in a cottage within the grounds. They were three hard-faced men,
who never came to the village, and it was believed that they were old
soldiers who had served with the captain during the war.
