Whatever I may feel I promise you on my word of honour never to speak to you about or act upon until you say I may. I know my duty to Thomasin quite as well as I know my duty to you as a woman unfairly treated. What shall I assist you in?" "In getting away from here." "Where do you wish to go to?" "I have a place in my mind. If you could help me as far as Budmouth I can do all the rest.
A very popular local excursion by steamboat to Lulstead Cove was announced through the streets of Budmouth one Thursday morning by the weak-voiced town-crier, to start at six o'clock the same day. The weather was lovely, and the opportunity being the first of the kind offered to them, Owen and Cytherea went with the rest.
When they got there they found that an unpleasant breeze was blowing out at sea, though inland it had been calm enough. Mrs. Goodman proposed to stay at Budmouth till the next day, in hope that there might be smooth water; but an English seaport inn being a thing that Paula disliked more than a rough passage, she would not listen to this counsel.
The name was spelt that way on your boxes: I looked and saw it myself. The enigma of Miss Aldclyffe's mistake was solved. 'O, was it? said Cytherea. 'Ah, I remember Mrs. Jackson, the lodging-house keeper at Budmouth, labelled them. We spell our name G, R, A, Y, E. 'What was your father's trade? Cytherea thought it would be useless to attempt to conceal facts any longer.
Now Budmouth is a wonderful place wonderful a great salt sheening sea bending into the land like a bow thousands of gentlepeople walking up and down bands of music playing officers by sea and officers by land walking among the rest out of every ten folks you meet nine of 'em in love." "I know it," she said disdainfully. "I know Budmouth better than you. I was born there.

I had been at Budmouth till two days ago and that was where I had intended to take her; but when I came to fetch her we decided upon Anglebury, forgetting that a new license would be necessary. There was not time to get to Budmouth afterwards." "I think you are very much to blame," said Mrs. Yeobright. "It was quite my fault we chose Anglebury," Thomasin pleaded.
Meanwhile Edward and Cytherea, after lingering on the steps for several minutes, slowly descended the slope to the lake. The skiff was lying alongside. 'O, Edward, said Cytherea, 'you must do something that has just come into my head! 'Well, dearest I know. 'Yes give me one half-minute's row on the lake here now, just as you did on Budmouth Bay three years ago.
Here he rapidly penned a letter, wherein he withdrew once for all from the treaty for the Budmouth practice. As the postman had already left Little Hintock for that night, he sent one of Melbury's men to intercept a mail-cart on another turnpike-road, and so got the letter off. The man returned, met Fitzpiers in the lane, and told him the thing was done. Fitzpiers went back to his house musing.
She turned away from Fitzpiers, and sobbed bitterly. "If you can get this posted at a place some miles away," he whispered, exhausted by the effort of writing "at Shottsford or Port-Bredy, or still better, Budmouth it will divert all suspicion from this house as the place of my refuge."
