He swept up the fallen nettles for his bonfire. "I've come for a few balls of the rough twine," said Mr. Churchouse. "And welcome." An unusual air of gloom sat on Mr. Best and the other was quick to observe it. "All well, I hope?" he said. "Not exactly. I'm rather under the weather; but I dare say it's my own fault."
She knew, moreover, that such an arrangement would go far to soothe Raymond's conscience; and the more he paid, probably the happier he would feel. For other causes also she declined to take any legal steps against him, and in this decision Ernest Churchouse supported her.
He wrote when in the mood, and sometimes read papers at the Mechanics' Institute of Bridport. But he was constitutionally averse from real work of any sort, lacked ambition, and found all the fame he needed in the village community with which his life had been passed. He was a childless widower. Mr. Churchouse strolled now into the churchyard to look at the grave.
Churchouse here is the best gentleman on God's earth; but he don't understand a mother's heart how should he? and he don't know what a lot women have got to hide from men for their own self-respect, and because men as a body are such clumsy-minded fools speaking generally, of course." To see even Mrs. Dinnett dealing thus in ideas excited Ernest and filled him with interest.
"That's nought to a wayward mind like his. He's got in a state now when I wouldn't trust him a yard. And I hope to God you'll hold the reins tight, miss, and not slacken till they're man and wife. Once let him see his way clear to bolt, and bolt he will." Mr. Churchouse protested, while Jenny only sighed.
I know lots of people who want the moon," declared Raymond. "Perhaps I do." "You can have your choice of four stalls for the horse," said Arthur Waldron. "I always ride before breakfast myself, wet or fine. Only frost stops me. I hope you will too before you go to the works." Raymond was soon at 'The Magnolias, and found Mr. Churchouse expecting him in the garden.
He did not suppose that any whose opinion he respected would alter Raymond. It might even be that he was honest in his theories, and believed himself when he said that marriage would end by destroying his love for Sabina. But Mr. Churchouse did not pursue that line of argument. Had not Mary Dinnett just reminded him that this was a Christian country?
"I don't want anything of that sort to happen, and I'm sure she doesn't." "There's a hang-dog look in his eyes I'd like to see away," confessed John. "He's been mismanaged, I reckon, and hasn't any sense of righteousness yet. All for justice he is, so I hear he tells Mister Churchouse. Many are who don't know the meaning of the word. I'll do what I can when he comes here."
She was not vain, but she knew herself a finer thing in mind and body than most of the girls with whom she worked. She had read a great deal and learned much from Mr. Churchouse, who delighted to teach her, and from Mr. Best, with whom she was a prime favourite.
"He can't do more and he does feel it a great deal," declared Estelle. "I think Sabina sees it clearly enough, but it's very hard on her too, to have to go from Mister Churchouse and her home." "Nothing is more mysterious than the sowing and germination of spiritual seed," said the old man. "The enemy sowed tares by night, and what can be more devilish than sowing the tares of evil on virgin soil?
