Then that slight sense of shock returned, and Smith returned to the contemplation of the physical phenomena of the Pembrokeshire coast blue waves, grey St. Margaret's, and Caldy Abbey white in the sunlight.
"Inchcaldy, my dear, spelled CALDY, but pronounced CAWDY; the town where you are to take your nonsensical little fripperies to be laundered." "Where is Inchcaldy? How far away?" "About five miles, I believe, but a lovely road."
And the way the town lies, with its beautiful harbour far below, its gray rocks and broken walls by the sea, in golden sands, is like Turner's ideas of historic French fortresses. The Benedictine monks, too, who come across the gleaming stretch of water from Caldy Island in a green-and-red steam yacht, add one more foreign note.
He knew he was on Giltar, looking across the waves to Caldy; he heard all the while the hollow, booming tide in the caverns of the rocks far below him, And yet he saw, as if in a glass, a very different country a level fenland cut by slow streams, by long avenues of trimmed trees.
Then he looked beyond and gazed at the new white monastery on Caldy, and wondered who the architect was, and how he had contrived to make the group of buildings look exactly like the background of a mediæval picture. After about an hour of this and a couple of pipes, Smith confesses that he began to feel extremely drowsy.
