She looked up quietly and her eyes met Delia's; in hers a steely ardour, in Delia's a certain trouble. "Well, we want some cheering up," said the girl, rather wearily. "Those two last meetings were pretty depressing! and so were the bye-elections." She was thinking of the two open-air meetings at Brownmouth and Frimpton.
France was to bring over the Brownmouth specialist on Monday then that very afternoon, or the next morning, Delia must and would go to London to join Gertrude Marvell.
He ended by promising to make all arrangements himself, and to go in that very afternoon to see the great man at Brownmouth.
The police were kept hard at work protecting open-air meetings on the Brownmouth and Frimpton beaches, from an angry populace who desired to break them up; every unknown woman who approached a village or strolled into a village church, was immediately noticed, immediately reported on, by hungry eyes and tongues alert for catastrophe; and every empty house had become an anxiety to its owners.
And Winnington, seizing what he could lay hands on, transferred them to his own knees, and gave a cordial grip to the right hand cotton glove. Miss Dempsey replied that she had been in Brownmouth for the day, and was going home. After which she smiled and said abruptly, bending across her still laden knees and his so as to speak unheard by their neighbours
That would tame the anguish in her, and some day she would be strong again and come back to those beloved ones who had given her up so tenderly. The whole of Maumsey and its neighbourhood had indeed been thrown into excitement by certain placards on the walls announcing three public meetings to be held a fortnight later by the "Daughters of Revolt" at Latchford, Brownmouth, and Frimpton.
They've telephoned to Latchford for the engines, and to Brownmouth and Wanchester too. They say it's burning like tow there must be petrol in it, or summat. It's the women they say! spite of Mr. Daunt and the perlice!" Then he noticed Delia standing beside Winnington on the steps, and held his tongue, scowling. Winnington's car was still standing at the steps. He set it going in a moment.
"No, it must be here. You say we can get a good man from Brownmouth?" They discussed the possibilities of an operation at Maumsey. Insensibly the doctor's tone during the conversation grew more friendly, as it proceeded.
Them folks at Wanchester only just got out an' there were two children among 'em," cried a man near the waggon. "An' they've just been up to something new at Brownmouth " All heads turned towards a young man who spoke from the back of the audience. "News just come to the post-office," he shouted "as the new pier was burnt out early this morning. There's a bit o' wanton mischief for you!"
"So you will take these four meetings?" "Certainly!" Delia sprang up. "What are they? One at Latchford, one at Brownmouth Wanchester and Frimpton. All right. I shall be pelted at Brownmouth. But rotten eggs don't matter so much when you're looking out for them except on your face Ugh!" "And the meeting here?" "Of course. Can't I do what I like with my own house?
