Gareth-Lawless, it was stated by Coombe that Fraulein Hirsch had been called back to Germany by family complications. That august orders should recall Count Von Hillern, was easily understood. Such magnificent persons never shone upon society for any length of time.
"When I see her I shall be better able to judge." "But she is going away." "Then we must wait. If it is, as I suspect, a case of disordered nerves aggravated by improper treatment, the instinct is strongly for concealment. Do you find, for instance, that Mrs. Coombe is not as frank in other matters as she used to be?"
To each individually the type of the other was one he could understand. It was plain to Lord Coombe that Redcliff found his case of rather special interest, which he felt was scarcely to be wondered at.
I am not lonely at all, thank you. The Duchess is very good to me." Donal evidently knew nothing of her reasons for disliking Lord Coombe. She could not have told him of them. He did not dislike his relative himself and in fact rather liked him in spite of the frigidity he sometimes felt. He, at any rate, admired his cold brilliance of mind.
I had looked down that coombe as we drove by; and catching sight of these chimneys felt something like reassurance, as if I had been counting, all the way, to find them there. But here let me explain who I am and what brought me to these parts. My name is Samuel Wraxall the Reverend Samuel Wraxall, to be precise: I was born a Cockney and educated at Rugby and Oxford.
One who knows the west country, hunting through it as I have hunted, grows to love and recognize the changing shapes of every hill and coombe and spur of climbing forest on their sides, and so, before long, I knew we were making for the great hill of Brent, but why I could not tell.
I hope I am not asking you to take a long journey when you are engaged in work too important to leave. If I am please pardon me, and I will wait until you are less occupied. "Robin." That was all. Coombe sat and gazed at it and read it several times. The thing which had always touched him most in her was her simple obedience to the laws about her.
My cottage is the last and the highest in the coombe. The other houses are all down closer to the sea." Still he stood inert. "The sea!" he echoed, faintly "Where is it?" With her disengaged hand she pointed outwards. "Yonder! By and by, when the moon comes over the hill, it will be shining like a silver field with big daisies blowing and growing all over it.
I went up the coombe this morning and right out to the highroad, for I thought I might see him and catch up with him because I know it would take him ever so long to walk a mile. But he had gone altogether." Reay stood thinking. "I tell you what, Mary," he said at last, "I'll take a brisk walk down the road towards Minehead. I should think that's the only place where he'd try for work.
Why do you all at once look quite like Lord Coombe?" Perhaps he did look a trifle like his relative. He had risen to his feet. "I was not aware that I was whisked away from London," he said. "I was," with pretty impudence. "You were bundled back to Scotland almost before daylight. Lord Coombe knew about it. We laughed immensely together.
