She was a creature of moods and tenses, and would probably have gone on carolling blissfully for another hour if the vicar had not interrupted them. "It is getting late, Carlyon, and we may as well walk back together," he remarked in his leisurely manner, for being an old bachelor he was rather precise in his ways. David jumped up at once. "I will go with you, sir, of course," he replied quickly.
And while he coughed and fought with the demon of suffocation Derrick was strongly aware of the eyes that watched him, burning like two brilliant blue points out of the darkness. Wonderful eyes! Steady, strong, unflinching. The eyes of a friend a true friend not such an one as Carlyon Carlyon who had failed him.
Carlyon," he said, as they crossed the road; "I was very glad to hear from her how well it answered." "He is very happy at Rotherwood," returned Elizabeth. "The people seem to take to him, and he and the vicar are like brothers, and the work exactly suits him. Theo is happy too, and that is a great blessing. And we have made the cottage so pretty that I should like you to see it."
Halcyone, herself, put an end to all awkwardness after she very gently entered the room. There was no bounding or vaulting in the presence of the aunts. "Is it not kind of Mr. Carlyon to wish to teach me Greek?" she said, including both her relatives. "I expect he has told you about it though." The Misses La Sarthe were properly surprised and interested.
"It will be a hard blow," Carlyon said. "The tribesmen are very confident. Last night they watched a messenger ride eastwards on a white horse. It was an omen foretold by the Heaven-sent when he left them to carry the message through the hills to other tribes." Raymond gave a great start. "The girl!" he said. For a second Carlyon's eyes met his look.
"I must think of him as Pericles, then, if he is occupied with the state," said Halcyone. "But how has he been lucky since? I would like to know tell me, please, and I will try not to mind his being here." "Yes try " said Mr. Carlyon.
"So it was the Secret Service man who saved your life," said Averil, with flushed cheeks. "Really, Dick, how splendid of him!" "Finest chap I ever saw!" declared Derrick. "He looked about eight feet high in native dress. I shall have to find that man some day, and tell him what I think of him." "Yes, indeed!" agreed Averil. "I expect, you know, it was really Colonel Carlyon who sent him."
No such opportunity had ever occurred before or was likely to occur again, her aunts being absent and even old William nowhere about. It made the chance one in a thousand. So she agreed, and determined to force herself to endure the pain which going back would cause her. She was perfectly silent all the way from London to Upminster and Mr. Carlyon watched her furtively.
"You are going to the vicarage?" she remarked at last; "I must not take you out of your way." "Oh, I will walk as far as the White Cottage with you," returned Mr. Carlyon briskly. "You have promised to spend my last day with my boy and me, so I shall be sure to turn up at tea.
Carlyon, and the two young men shook hands; and afterwards the dogs passed in review, and Elizabeth gravely named each one, ending up with her sister's little dachshund Mike.
