Peewits tumbling heavily, pigeons with beating wings, sailing jackdaws higher yet, serene in rarity, a brown kestrel oared the sky. Sanchia's soft eyes gleamed with wet. "Saint Francis and the hares! Oh, dearest, have I never known you?" "What a chance for a rifleman!" said Chevenix. "That beats the cocks." They stood intent for a while, not daring to disturb the mystery enacting.
He was barefooted, which Sanchia, must by all means be for the day: divining her, as he only could, he knelt without invitation and untied her shoes. "Stockings too, I'll bet you!" was what Chevenix thought; but he was wrong. Senhouse went into his cabin, and returned with sandals. Sanchia had taken off her own stockings. They were sandals to fit her.
"I was put into another room, two doors away from what was Dame Crowl's chamber, after her death, and this thing happened the night before Squire Chevenix came to Applewale. "The room I was in now was a large square chamber, covered wi' yak pannels, but unfurnished except for my bed, which had no curtains to it, and a chair and a table, or so, that looked nothing at all in such a big room.
'Damn him, I wonder where he is! said Ronald; and he moved the lantern up and down, and turned the night into a shifting puzzle- work of gleam and shadow. 'I think I'll make a sally. 'I don't think you will, replied Chevenix. 'When I agreed to come out here and do sentry-go, it was on one condition, Master Ronald: don't you forget that! Military discipline, my boy!
At that moment he laid a heavy, hard grip upon my shoulder; and whether he said anything more or came to a full stop at once, I am sure I could not tell you to this day. For, as the devil would have it, the shoulder he laid hold of was the one Goguelat had pinked. The wound was but a scratch; it was healing with the first intention; but in the clutch of Major Chevenix it gave me agony.
I do call it odd, don't you, Mamma? because Lord Valmond told me, when he left Chevenix on Saturday, that he had to go to another party in Yorkshire, and was as cross as a bear because he would not be able to be at the Grassfield ball. He turned up beautifully dressed as usual, as quickly as it was possible for the brougham which was sent for him to get back.
"I wasn't there; but I remember what happened afterwards. The poor child as white as a sheet and every hand lifted against her. By God, Nevile, what girls mere chits will go through!" "I know," said Ingram dreamily. "Isn't it awful?" Chevenix looked at him. He was quite serious. What can you do with such a man as this? "They left us alone in the room, you know," Ingram continued.
Chevenix called to him when he was at some distance. "I say, Glyde." "Yes, sir?" "You can go to bed. It's all right." "Thank you, sir. Good-night." He chuckled as he undressed. "Rum fish, Glyde. Watch and ward, what? Watching his shield. Bless her, she's got friends, then." He considered for a while, flicking the glowing end of his cigar. "That chap Senhouse Jack Senhouse.
And with that he was gone. The windows of my own sitting-room looked towards the north; but the entrance passage drew its light from the direction of the square. Hence I was able to observe Ronald's departure, his very disheartened gait, and the fact that he was joined, about half-way, by no less a man than Major Chevenix.
You speak of her people as if they were really of the sort which as if she were of the kind whom " It was impossible. "Really," she said, "it's most unusual. I don't frankly know what I ought to do." Chevenix listened carefully to her truncated phrases, where what she did not say was the most eloquent part of her discourse. He nodded freely and sagely; he was conciliatory, but clear in opinion.
