There are two sitting-rooms the larger one is to be Mr. Carlyon's study, they will not need a drawing-room and four bed-rooms, and the garden is really charming. Rowan Cottage belongs to us, so we can ask a nominal rent. I cannot tell you how happy all this makes Elizabeth. Mr. Carlyon has been her one thought since David died.
Twelve minutes after the resolution reached the Senate it had been passed by another unanimous vote. During the proceedings Mrs. Homer M. Hill sat beside President Carlyon and was invited to address the members.
"It is a man's point of view," she said slowly at last, "not a woman's." "Even so," said Carlyon, dropping back suddenly to his former attitude. She looked at him very earnestly, her brows drawn together. "You have not told me about the Secret Service man," she said at length. "You sent him, did you not, on the forlorn chance of saving Dick?" Carlyon shook his head in a grim disclaimer.
Carlyon lost his harassed look, Malcolm's bored expression had vanished, while Cedric's fervent "Thank goodness! Bet, we shall get along now," was inwardly echoed by his friends. Malcolm's good-humour returned, and he gave his undivided attention to the flower-borders, and enlarged in his poetical way on the beauties of the Iceland and Shirley poppies.
For me a picture should satisfy each of these points of view to be perfect and lift me into heights. That is why perhaps I shall prefer sculpture on the whole, when I shall have seen it, to painting." And Mr. Carlyon felt that, learned in art and old as he was, Halcyone might give him a new point of view. Next day they left for Pisa.
"What exactly is it that you do not understand?" "Everything," Averil said, with a comprehensive gesture. "I have always believed that you thought more of Derrick than anything else in the world." "Ah!" said Carlyon quietly. "That is probably the root of the misunderstanding. Correct that, and the rest will be comparatively easy."
They were intensely blue, with the blueness of a flame. "She is safe at Akbar," he said, returning without emotion to the knotting of the bandage. "The road was open for the messenger. The horse was swift. There is one woman less to take the risk." "I see," said Raymond quietly. He was frowning a little, but not at Carlyon's strategy. "The rest," Carlyon continued, "must be fought for.
"My mother is a good woman," he said to himself; "she is true and just in all her dealings," and he felt with a sudden pang of remorse as though he had never valued her enough. "Is Miss Carlyon like her brother in appearance?" he asked the next minute. "Not a bit; she would make two of David. She is a big, red-haired woman, not exactly bad-looking if she would only set herself off.
"I left this window open for you on purpose. The garden does one good sometimes. You were not lonely, I hope?" "No," said John Derringham; but he would not look at his old master, for he knew very well he should see a whimsical sparkle in his eyes. Mr. Carlyon, of course, must be aware of Halcyone's night wandering proclivities.
Coleridge told also of his reception at an Hessian village, after his visit to the Hartz mountains, and the Brocken. Their party consisted of himself, Mr. Carlyon, and the two Mr. Parrys. The four pedestrians entered the village late of an evening, and repaired to the chief ale-house, wearied with a hard day's journey, in order to be refreshed and to rest for the night.
