But the flood of angry self-pity could not be stayed. 'Oh, I daresay you don't mean it, but you have yes, you have a way of getting everybody's attention. Of course you're awfully clever much cleverer than I am or Pamela. But still it it isn't pleasant. I know Pamela felt it dreadfully being cut out with people she likes people she cares about and who who might care for her like Arthur Chicksands.
When we come to know her she was living at Chicksands in Bedfordshire and hoping to marry Temple, though the course of love ran by no means smooth. Attention was first drawn to her letters, and some of them were partly printed, in Courtenay's Life of her husband a book which was reviewed by Macaulay in a famous essay, not overlooking Dorothy.
'Who says there's a war? said Captain Chicksands, sinking luxuriously into a sunny bed of dry leaves, conveniently placed in front of Elizabeth. 'Miss Bremerton, you and I were, I understand, at the same University? Elizabeth assented. 'Is it your opinion that Universities are any good? that after the war there are going to be any Universities?
'Plucky woman! said Arthur Chicksands heartily. 'I'm sure you help her, Pamela, all you can? 'I don't like being managed, said the girl stubbornly, rather resenting his tone. A slight shade of sternness crossed the soldier's face. 'You know it's no good playing with this war, he said drily. 'It's as much to be won here as it is over seas. Food! that'll be the last word for everybody.
But the novelty of the thing and the curious fact that the lady who looked up his Greek references was also the lady who was measuring the trees, kept him a half-unwilling but still fascinated spectator of her proceedings. In the midst of them Sir Henry Chicksands appeared, making his way through the thick undergrowth. Elizabeth threw a hasty look at the Squire.
Would you be very glad to see me there, and could you do it in less disorder, and with less surprise, than you did at Chicksands? I ask you these questions very seriously; but yet how willingly would I venture all to be with you. I know you love me still; you promised me, and that's all the security I can have in this world.
'Don't you remember the day Arthur Chicksands spent here just before Desmond went? Don't you remember how he talked to you all the afternoon about the woods? Well, I saw Pamela's face as she was sitting behind you. Mrs. Gaddesden raised a triumphant though tear-stained countenance.
And it was sharply borne in on Chicksands that he was walking beside the mere image or phantom of a man, a man whose mind was far away 'voyaging through strange seas of thought alone. Mannering's eyes were wide open; but they made the weird impression on the spectator of a double seeing of some object of vision beyond and behind the actual scene of the barracks and the recruits, and that an object producing terror or pain.
And we shall not find ourselves following Dorothy's story with the less interest that we have mastered these details about the Osbornes of Chicksands. Temple, too, claims the consideration at our hands of a few words concerning his near relatives and their position in the country. As Macaulay tells us, he was born in 1628, the place of his birth being Blackfriars in London.
William Temple, at Sir John Temple's home in Damask Street, Dublin. Thus Dorothy leaves Chicksands, her last words from her old home to Temple breathing her love and affection for him. It is no great sorrow at the moment to leave Chicksands, for its latest memories are scenes of sickness, grief, and death.
