When Mrs. Leagan and her children return from their outing, Mr. Leagan notices Candy, who is confined in the attic, is not amongst them. After an argument with Mrs. Leagan, Mr. Leagan listens to Candy and she procures his consent for Klint to live in the stables and garden. Candy exercises night and day to walk elegantly, in accordance to her resolution to become more elegant in order to please Mrs. Leagan, who is compelled to take notice and yet puts Candy's efforts down. When Eliza points out that Candy constantly seeks out the company of the servants and refuses to be her playmate, Mrs. Leagan decides to downgrade Candy to a servant, while Mr. Leagan is away on business. Distressed, Candy wanders to the closed gates of the Ardley estate, in the hope to meet her prince. Instead she meets Archibald Cornwell in adventurous circumstances. Even if Archibald is not her prince, it seems that the Ardley estate houses plenty of interesting and friendly people. (Source: Wikipedia)
