I live upon the boundary line of the Sandgate Urban District Board, a minute authority with a boundary line that appears to have been determined originally about 1850 by mapping out the wanderings of an intoxicated excursionist, and which the only word is interdigitates with the borough of Folkestone, the Urban District of Cheriton, and the borough of Hythe.
"Well, first comes something that we must both do; that is, go and see Mrs. Cheriton; and if you will let me, dear, I am going to tie your necktie for you." Peggy submitted meekly, while Margaret pulled the crumpled white tie round to the front, re-tied, patted, and poked it. Then her hair must be coaxed a little or not so very little! and then
In a farmhouse near are the remains of Chelvey Court, once the residence of the Tynte family, who have memorials in the church. Chelwood, a small parish 2 m. S.E. of Pensford. Cheriton, North, a pleasant village 3 m. S.W. of Wincanton. It has a restored church, which preserves a pulpit of Charles I.'s time , and a tub font. The screen is, in the main, modern, though part dates from the 15th cent.
In recounting this I seem to be as long as the thing itself was in accomplishing. But at last it was done, and most kindly was I offered the very thing to suit me permission to join the party of a well-known British officer, Colonel Cheriton, of the Engineers.
In spite of Cheriton, they would have a good time together. And Cheriton would perhaps become friendly in time dear Jim, with his queer manners. People mostly did become friendly, in quite a short time, according to Peter's experience. That the time, as far as Cheriton was concerned, had not yet arrived, was rather obvious, however.
"Elizabeth," she said, hesitating, "is Mrs. Cheriton is she not here? I see you have put me at the head of the table again." "Mrs. Cheriton seldom leaves her own rooms, miss," replied Elizabeth. "She asked me to say that she would be glad to see the young ladies after breakfast. And shall I call the other young lady, Miss Montfort?"
Gibson made himself pleasant to Dorothy and Ida Cheriton, instead of making himself pleasant to the two Miss Frenches. Gentlemen in provincial towns quite understand that, from the nature of social circumstances in the provinces, they should always be ready to be pleasant at least to a pair at a time. At a few minutes before twelve they were all gone, and then came the shock.
Probably the evening had agitated him. But he was no good at defence. His complaint of Jim Cheriton broke weakly on an unsteady laugh. Peter nodded assent, and looked up the street of dim water, his chin propped in his hands, and thought how extraordinarily pleasant was the red light that slanted across the dark water from green doors ajar in steep house-walls.
It wasn't only physical semi-blindness; it was a blindness of the mind, a paralysis of the powers of discrimination and appreciation, which, was pitiful. Peter was angry. He thought Hilary and Cheriton so abominably, unmitigatedly wrong. And yet he himself had said, "If it makes them happy" and left that as the indubitable end. Ah, but one didn't lie to people, even for that.
"By and by, I came back to myself with my face full of scratches in a bush, and the sun was going low, and the place all as quiet as Cheriton church. But the noise of the water told me where I was; and I got up, and ran for the life of me, till I came to the goyal. And then I got into a fuzz-rick, and slept all night, for I durstn't go home to tell Mother Pring.
