Atherstone was a rambling, old-fashioned, black-and-white house, half covered with ivy, standing in a rambling, old-fashioned garden a charming garden, with clipped yews, and grass paths, and straggling flowers and herbs growing up in unexpected places.
Indeed, the fact that Guy had told her of Lucy Atherstone would indicate that his suspicions were groundless, and he entered heartily into the picture plan, saying laughingly that if he supposed Miss Lucy would like his face he'd sit himself, and bidding Guy be sure to ask her.
She knew her uncle had something which he did not like, something which yet he felt it his duty to say, when he gave that particular cough. "That was when you were staying with the Danvers, wasn't it, Ruth?" in a would-be casual, disengaged tone. "Yes; I came over from Atherstone with Molly Danvers." "I remember," said Mr. Alwynn, looking extremely uncomfortable; "and if I am not mistaken ahem!
She would disgrace none of them, and he found himself wishing that Providence had made her something to him sister or cousin, or anything that would make her one of the Remington line. And now, my reader, do not fall to abusing Guy, or accuse him of forgetting Lucy Atherstone, for he did not.
She was looking at him intently, wondering if he could hear as she did the beatings of her heart. Had her life depended upon it, she could not at first have spoken, for the numbness which, like bands of steel, seemed to press all the feeling out of it. She did not know why it was that hearing of Lucy Atherstone should affect her so.
At 3.50 he was over Nuneaton and making good progress; between Atherstone and Lichfield the wind caught him and the engine failed more and more, until at 4.13 in the morning he was forced to come to earth, having covered 6 miles less distance than in his first attempt.
We are going to have tea," came Evelyn's gentle voice from the lawn; and Ralph and the terrier Vic retired to hang the body of the slain upon a fir-tree on the back premises, the recognized long home of stoats and weasels at Atherstone. Molly, in the presence of Lady Mary and the stick with the silver crook, was always more or less depressed and shy.
But as it is I like to think of him, I should like him to be here; but I am not, as you say, head over ears in love with him." "And now about Atherstone?" Lady Caroom said. "Well, Atherstone has improved a great deal," Sybil answered, thoughtfully. "There are a great many things about him which I like very much. He is always well dressed and fresh and nice.
Again Lucy Atherstone trembled on the doctor's lips, but he did not speak of her it was preposterous that Maddy should have any thoughts of Guy Remington, who was quite as old as himself, besides being engaged, and with this comforting assurance the doctor turned his horse in the direction of the cottage, for Maddy was growing tired and needed to be at home.
Guy stopped, uncertain what to say next, while Maddy's eyes again looked up inquiringly. He was going now to tell "the little girl much like Jessie" of Lucy Atherstone, and the words would not come at first. "Maddy," he said, again blushing guiltily, "I have said I liked you, and so I hope will some one else. I have written of you to her."
