She saw it was good for her, merely to look on at the unpacking of the New York boxes, which the maid, sent for from London, brought down with her. As the woman removed, from tray after tray, the tissue-paper-enfolded layers of garments, Lady Anstruthers sat and watched her with normal, simply feminine interest growing in her eyes.
They have been tried, and though they have helped us to the place we have reached, they cannot help us any farther. We must begin again." "It is such a long time since I began," said Rosy, "such a long time." "Then there must be another beginning for you, too. The hour has struck." Lady Anstruthers rose with as involuntary a movement as if a strong hand had drawn her to her feet.
Although canting heraldry is generally reprobated, it seems nevertheless to have been adopted in the arms and mottos of many honourable families. Thus the motto of the Vernons, Ver non semper viret, is a perfect pun, and so is that of the Onslows, Festina lente. The Periissem ni per-iissem of the Anstruthers is liable to a similar objection.
"From there you are going to Stornham Court!" he exclaimed. "To see Rosy," she answered, leaning a little forward. "To SEE her. "You believe that what has happened has not been her fault?" he said. There was a look in her face which warmed his blood. "I have always been sure that Nigel Anstruthers arranged it." "Do you think he has been unkind to her?" "I am going to see," she answered.
She was one of the board of governors for the Society of Country Homes for Girls, and here and on the Orphanage board she met energetic and well-bred young married women, who apparently genuinely preferred their charities, their reading clubs, the little country places where they spent the summers, to the glory of Mrs. Anstruthers Leason's opera box or dinner dance.
The service upon the table was shabby and the dinner was not a bounteous meal. Lady Anstruthers in her girlish, gauzy dress and looking too small for her big, high-backed chair tried to talk rapidly, and every few minutes forgot herself and sank into silence, with her eyes unconsciously fixed upon her sister's face. Ughtred watched Betty also, and with a hungry questioning.
Monance, and Pittenweem, and the two Anstruthers, and Cellardyke, and Crail, where Primate Sharpe was once a humble and innocent country minister: on to the heel of the land, to Fife Ness, overlooked by a sea-wood of matted elders and the quaint old mansion of Balcomie, itself overlooking but the breach or the quiescence of the deep the Carr Rock beacon rising close in front, and as night draws in, the star of the Inchcape reef springing up on the one hand, and the star of the May Island on the other, and farther off yet a third and a greater on the craggy foreland of St.
Naturally, one was curious about the daughter of the Vanderpoel who was a sort of national institution in his own country. His name had not been so much heard of in England when Lady Anstruthers had arrived but there had, at first, been felt an interest in her.
It really seemed as if her ladyship must have lost her wits a little. She could not mean this. The vicaress turned pale also. "Lady Anstruthers," she said, "Lady Anstruthers, it it is too much. Sir Nigel " "Too much!" exclaimed Rosalie. "They have lost everything, you know; their hayricks and cattle as well as their house; I guess it won't be half enough." Mrs.
The triple town of Anstruther Wester, Anstruther Easter, and Cellardyke, all three Royal Burghs or two Royal Burghs and a less distinguished suburb, I forget which lies continuously along the seaside, and boasts of either two or three separate parish churches, and either two or three separate harbours. My business lay in the two Anstruthers.
