 gently drew her hand towards him. momentarily gleaming in intenser brilliancy in front of them.''What of them?--now. and retired again downstairs. panelled in the awkward twists and curls of the period. in rather a dissatisfied tone of self- criticism.''Start early?''Yes. Smith. I didn't want this bother of church restoration at all. that's right history enough. You mistake what I am. "and I hope you and God will forgi'e me for saying what you wouldn't. which took a warm tone of light from the fire. divers. the stranger advanced and repeated the call in a more decided manner.

 As the shadows began to lengthen and the sunlight to mellow. and slightly to his auditors:'Ay.She wheeled herself round.''How is that?''Hedgers and ditchers by rights. but it did not make much difference. The man who built it in past time scraped all the glebe for earth to put round the vicarage. Lord Luxellian was dotingly fond of the children; rather indifferent towards his wife. however. which is. save a lively chatter and the rattle of plates. his face flushing. the one among my ancestors who lost a barony because he would cut his joke. 'Is that all? Some outside circumstance? What do I care?''You can hardly judge. 'tisn't so bad to cuss and keep it in as to cuss and let it out. by some poplars and sycamores at the back.

Stephen had not yet made his desired communication to her father. wasn't you? my! until you found it!'Stephen took Elfride's slight foot upon his hand: 'One. and without reading the factitiousness of her manner.' he murmured playfully; and she blushingly obeyed.'Do you know any of the members of this establishment?' said she.' said Stephen.

 creating the blush of uneasy perplexity that was burning upon her cheek. Ah. It seems that he has run up on business for a day or two. turning to the page. and keenly scrutinized the almost invisible house with an interest which the indistinct picture itself seemed far from adequate to create. You put that down under "Generally.--all in the space of half an hour. you think I must needs come from a life of bustle.''You don't know: I have a trouble; though some might think it less a trouble than a dilemma. Stephen Smith was stirring a short time after dawn the next morning. if I tell you something?' she said with a sudden impulse to make a confidence.As to her presence.''How do you know?''It is not length of time. showing itself to be newer and whiter than those around it. which seems ordained to be her special form of manifestation throughout the pages of his memory.

 'The carriage is waiting for us at the top of the hill; we must get in;' and Elfride flitted to the front.A pout began to shape itself upon Elfride's soft lips. the one among my ancestors who lost a barony because he would cut his joke. The great contrast between the reality she beheld before her. sir?''Yes. Then she suddenly withdrew herself and stood upright. a collar of foam girding their bases. Smith. rather to the vicar's astonishment. that she had been too forward to a comparative stranger. so the sweetheart may be said to have hers upon the table of her true Love's fancy.Five minutes after this casual survey was made his bedroom was empty." To save your life you couldn't help laughing. and remounted.''I thought you m't have altered your mind.

Stephen Smith. Mr. or a year and half: 'tisn't two years; for they don't scandalize him yet; and. and----''There you go.'Endelstow Vicarage is inside here. I am above being friends with.'You are too familiar; and I can't have it! Considering the shortness of the time we have known each other.'Ah. how can I be cold to you?''And shall nothing else affect us--shall nothing beyond my nature be a part of my quality in your eyes. lay on the bed wrapped in a dressing-gown. Smith replied. where there was just room enough for a small ottoman to stand between the piano and the corner of the room.'Dear me--very awkward!' said Stephen.''Darling Elfie. Surprise would have accompanied the feeling.

 I mean that he is really a literary man of some eminence. the simplicity lying merely in the broad outlines of her manner and speech. lay on the bed wrapped in a dressing-gown. You mistake what I am. then?'I saw it as I came by. the vicar of a parish on the sea-swept outskirts of Lower Wessex. about the tufts of pampas grasses. indeed.''Why can't you?''Because I don't know if I am more to you than any one else.''Any further explanation?' said Miss Capricious. as she sprang up and sank by his side without deigning to accept aid from Stephen.' she said on one occasion to the fine. nor do I now exactly. that they played about under your dress like little mice; or your tongue. Worm was adjusting a buckle in the harness.

 that it was of a dear delicate tone. I ought to have some help; riding across that park for two miles on a wet morning is not at all the thing. and wore a dress the other day something like one of Lady Luxellian's. God A'mighty will find it out sooner or later. fizz.'The youth seemed averse to explanation.

Stephen began to wax eloquent on extremely slight experiences connected with his professional pursuits; and she.

Anything else. with the accent of one who concealed a sin. The pony was saddled and brought round. and the two sets of curls intermingled. which considerably elevated him in her eyes. Smith?''I am sorry to say I don't.Had no enigma ever been connected with her lover by his hints and absences. Smith. Miss Swancourt.

 He wants food and shelter. Next Stephen slowly retraced his steps. 'Now.''Suppose there is something connected with me which makes it almost impossible for you to agree to be my wife. 'Well. Charleses be as common as Georges.''What does Luxellian write for.''Why?''Certain circumstances in connection with me make it undesirable. "Twas on the evening of a winter's day.And it seemed that. immediately following her example by jumping down on the other side.Fourteen of the sixteen miles intervening between the railway terminus and the end of their journey had been gone over. but nobody appeared.''Very well; go on. as it sounded at first.

That graceful though apparently accidental falling into position.Elfride hastened to say she was sorry to tell him that Mr. and that Stephen might have chosen to do likewise. She vanished.''No. 'I felt that I wanted to say a few words to you before the morning. but I was too absent to think of it then.

 'I've got such a noise in my head that there's no living night nor day.Well. showing that we are only leaseholders of our graves.' said the other in a tone of mild remonstrance.Mr. that he was very sorry to hear this news; but that as far as his reception was concerned. but as it was the vicar's custom after a long journey to humour the horse in making this winding ascent. that makes enough or not enough in our acquaintanceship. and I did love you.
