I do think it is such a pity," cried Lady Atherley with real feeling, "when people will take up these extreme religious views, as all the Atherleys do. I am sure it is quite a comfort to have someone like you in the house, Mr. Lyndsay, who is not particular about religion."
For, though I like the Atherleys very much, though I think them all extremely jolly ... yet I doubt, you know, if they are QUITE the family to have a flame-flower growing in their garden. "KNOW thyself," said the old Greek motto. For the most part he told me nothing new.
Though it was touch and go with it all this time our faith was strong, our courage unshaken. June, 1908, found it in the gravel-pit. It seemed our only hope.... And in the August of that year I went and stayed with the Atherleys. One morning at breakfast I challenged Miss Atherley to an immediate game of tennis. "Not directly after," said Mrs Atherley, "it's so bad for you.
Not exactly pretty, but very ladylike-looking. I think she would be very good-looking if she thought more about her dress." "Is she clever?" "No, not at all; and that is very strange, for the Atherleys are such a clever family, and she has quite the ways of a clever person, too; so odd, and so stupid about little things that anyone can remember.
Anything less suggestive of the supernatural, or in every way less like the typical ghost-seer, was surely never produced than the round and rubicund little person I found in conversation with the Atherleys. Mrs. Mallet was a brunette who might once have considered herself a beauty, to judge by the self-conscious and self-satisfied simper which the ghastliest recollections were unable to banish.
