The earth has required the quickening of countless ages to produce the form that we see the gracious beauties of the older trees, the contour of cliffs. The very stem and leaf of a Clovelly rose is beautiful. The finest rose of this season, when cut at the end of its budding mystery, left nothing but a little grey plant that you could cover in your hand.
Thousands of people go to Clovelly, and Beaupark House is one of the show-places in the neighborhood. Is there a little Protestant prejudice in this new idea of yours?" Stella made no reply; she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. Lady Loring went on. "I am open to conviction, my dear. If you will only tell me what interest Father Benwell can have in knowing about you and Winterfield "
Clad in sea-green linen with a white collar, and belt, she was the very spirit of a Clovelly morning. They had met a certain bold fisher-lad named Jem, evidently Phoebe's favourite swain, and explored the short passage where Fish Street is built over, nicknamed Temple Bar. Atlas came in shortly after and laid a nosegay at Egeria's plate. "My humble burnt-offering, your ladyship," he said.
Don't suppose that the present separation between them is final; I will answer for their meeting again. I may now proceed to the failure of my agent, and to the course of action that I have adopted in consequence. The investigations appear to have definitely broken down at the seaside village of Clovelly, in the neighborhood of Mr. Winterfield's country seat.
Mother wants me to step down to Clovelly with a message for the landlady of the New Inn, and I've set my heart upon walking once more to Gallantry Bower. Can't you come with us, Isabel? It would be so nice if you could, and it's my last chance." "Of course I will. I'll be ready in five minutes, if you really can't stay any longer."
Not knowing what else to say, she still paid Penrose the compliment of feigning an interest in Father Benwell. "Has he a long journey to make in returning to London?" she asked. "Yes all the way from Devonshire." "From South Devonshire?" "No. North Devonshire Clovelly." The smile suddenly left her face.
Early in the morning wagon loads began to pour into Brampton Street from Harwich, from Coniston, from Tarleton Four Corners, and even from distant Clovelly, and Brampton was banner-hung for the occasion flags across the stores, across the dwellings, and draped along the whole breadth of the meeting-house; but for sheer splendor the newly built mansion of Isaac D. Worthington outshone them all.
Cynthia turned over the sheet, and read many interesting items: one concerning the beauty and fashion and intellect which attended the party at Mr. Gamaliel Ives's; in the Clovelly notes she saw that Miss Judy Hatch, of Coniston, was visiting relatives there; she learned the output of the Worthington Mills for the past week.
But there were other evenings out of doors, when we sat in a sheltered corner down on the pier, watching the line of limestone cliffs running westward to the revolving light at Hartland Point that sent us alternate flashes of ruby and white across the water. Clovelly lamps made glittering disks in the quay pool, shining there side by side with the reflected star-beams.
"Roses how strangely they have had their part in the loves of men and women. Do you think that our Clovelly roses have come to be of themselves? Do you think that the actual hurt of their beauty the restless, nameless quest that comes spurring to our hearts from their silent leaning over the rim of a vase is nothing more than a product of soil and sun?
