Very good point. A small estate with one or two farms, which was acquired at the time Beckfoot was being built, would also fit in quite well with everything AR tells us about the household. The GA sees herself as a member of the gentry (lowest rung of upper classes), while Mollie Blackett just tries to be a good neighbour.
