It was kinsman's part and all that truly I could have hoped for, and I told him so. About us was quiet, vacant cloister, and we parted more warmly than we had done within. The white convent of La Rabida is set on a headland among vineyards and pine trees.
On they rode, and Cedric's heart was first sorry for his kinsman's ills, then he would rant because Katherine had taken no notice of his importunities, and he swore under his breath in good, round Scotch oaths for his allowing her to go thus long without espousal; and again he looked at the matter dispassionately.
"That depends," he said, "partly upon our kinsman's attitude, for if he offered us hospitality we should probably stay a little. You were also right, my dear, as usual." The girl's pose grew a trifle more rigid, and the fingers of one hand seemed to close vindictively. "It is grotesque almost horrible, isn't it?" she said. Her father nodded. "It might be," he said.

I felicitate you, sir, and retract my words, for by that action of your kinsman's shall the graves of all his race and name be honoured." Young Fiennes bowed.
