Crawley was so loyal a supporter of the regent of Barracombe, yet John's projected improvements were far too thorough-going to gain the approval of the pottering old retainers of the Crewys family, though they were unable to question his knowledge or his judgment.
You shall devote yourself to me, and I'll devote myself to Barracombe; and we'll just settle down into all the old ways. Only it will be me instead of my father that's all." "You instead of your father that's all," echoed Lady Mary. She felt as though her mind had suddenly become a blank. "I used to rebel against poor papa," said Peter, remorsefully.
"Your bath shall be ready at six, sir," said Simmons. A few minutes after six o'clock, Smith made his ascent, his departure being witnessed by his sister and Barracombe and the whole domestic staff. He flew rapidly over Hampshire, Dorset, Devon; crossed the Bristol Channel, and made a bee-line for Bear Haven at the entrance to Bantry Bay.
When you see Benzonana, ask if he has any addresses for me: Barracombe was going to wire some from London. Many thanks, old man." Johnson said a word or two to the captain, who nodded gravely as Smith flung himself down beside the aeroplane, and, resting his head on his arms, prepared to go to sleep. The golfer knew the short cuts from the Ok Meidan to the city.
That gives me nine hours, and as I haven't been to bed for a week I want seven good solid hours sleep." "But really, Charley, you don't look fit to rejoin," said Kate. "Your cheeks are dreadfully thin, and your voice is nearly gone." "Well, of course, I'm dead tired; feel all to pieces, in fact. But all I want is sleep." "And a medical certificate," put in Barracombe.
When he came to Barracombe, he knew that she had suffered greatly during these months of his absence, and reproached himself angrily for blindness and selfishness.
"Oh, Charley!" she cried; "you've come!" "Rather late, ain't you!" said Barracombe, as Smith jumped from the aeroplane. "Hallo, Sis. Hallo, old man!" cried Smith. "We've done it; seven days, to the minute!" Kate flew into his arms: only next day did she discover the ruin of her dress. "I've a voice like a corncake," said Smith, disengaging himself. "Glad to see you, Billy." "You're a wonder!
John feared that his mother's resolution not to follow her boy must inevitably be broken when the news of his capture reached Barracombe; but perhaps Peter's letters had repeated the peremptory injunctions of his telegram, for she never proposed to take the journey to South Africa.
"Is it only you and Sarah, after all? What a relief! I thought it was visitors," cried Lady Mary, coming forward to greet them very kindly and warmly. "Did you come across in the ferry?" "No, indeed. You know how I dislike the ferry. I have the long drive home still before me. But we were so close to Barracombe, at the Gilberts' tea-party.
Why don't you say Tom? Colonel indeed!" said Lady Tintern. "Very well, I shall go alone." But this Mrs. Hewel would by no means allow. She reluctantly abandoned the effort to dissuade her aunt, put on her visiting things with as much speed as was possible to her, and finally accompanied her across the river to pay the proposed visit to Barracombe House.
