The
Character I Like Best
Brat
Farrar is the most interesting character for me. He is about twenty years old.
He looks similar to Simon and Patrick Ashby. In fact, he is their cousin, an
orphan from America. Thus, the likeness.
When he
comes to England, a family friend of the Ashbys, Alec, realises that he looks
just like the missing Patrick. So, he offers Brat to impersonate Patrick and
take the Latchetts estate. The Ashby family accepts Brat nicely like he was
real Patrick. He starts loving the family too.
Soon,
Brat notices that Simon often acts weird towards him. Brat’s curiosity and
wisdom bring him to doubt that Simon in fact killed Patrick because of
Latchetts. He succeeds in finding Patrick’s body and solves the mystery of
Patrick’s disappearance.
Brat’s
lust for fortune brings him to the family, but he has a good heart and he knows
that the family is more important than the estate.

different ending
One
night Brat left for the quarry and along the way he met Simon. Simon asked Brat
to confess that he was not Patrick as he killed him. Simon asked him to go away
and leave the family alone. He offered to pay him for it. Brat agreed and went
back to America, bought horses and a farm. He developed a business and in a few
years became a rich man. He went back to England as he always liked Eleanor and
asked her to marry him. The twins were married too and had their own kids. It
was revealed that Simon killed his brother and he spent the rest of his life in
prison. Meanwhile, Aunt Bee died and the three girls inherited her possession.
Brat went to America with his wife, they had twins and lived happily ever
after.
