When he passed the Royal he never turned an eyelash, and when he met Captain Roper on the Front, three days after having been introduced to him, he "cut him dead" another privileged consequence of a social relation rather than seem to himself to make the remotest approach to the question of whether Miss Cookham had left Properley.
Originally, so far as we can judge, the main stream of gravel crossed the Thames at Cookham, and again at Henley.
All his wonderments in life had been hitherto unanswered and didn't the change mean that here again was the social relation? "Ah, I didn't live as you saw me the other day." "Yes," he answered and didn't he the next instant feel he must fairly have smiled with it? "the other day you were going it!" "For once in my life," said Kate Cookham. "I've left the hotel," she after a moment added.
His checked approach, arriving thus at no term, could in these odd conditions have established that he wasn't only if Kate Cookham had, as either of them might have said, taken it so if she had given up the game at last by rising, by walking away and adding to the distance between them, and he had then definitely let her vanish into space.
A picnic party up the river from Maidenhead to Cookham was got up for the 30th of May, and Ralph Newton of course was there. Just at that time the Neefit persecution was at its worst. Letters directed by various hands came to him daily, and in all of them he was asked when he meant to be on the square.
It can hardly be said that he had made up his mind to offer to her before he started for Cookham, though doubtless through all the remaining years of his life he would think that his mind had been so fixed, but he had concluded, that if she were thrown at his head very hard, he might as well take her.
Oh Lord, what thunderin' donkeys we fellows are!" groans Captain Bingo, rubbing his head, which has hair of a gingery hue, close-cropped until the scalp blushes pinkly through it, and rubbing nothing in the way of consolation into the brain inside it. "I bought the cottage at Cookham as a surprise for her birthday," goes on the boy. "She's a year or two older than me "
He and three other men, so he said, were sculling a very heavily laden boat up from Maidenhead one evening, and a little above Cookham lock they noticed a fellow and a girl, walking along the towpath, both deep in an apparently interesting and absorbing conversation.
If he be a prudent steady man, as our friend Salter was, he puts his money in the bank, or lends it out on a freehold mortgage at ten per cent., only deducting a few pounds from his capital for a suit of clothes, a couple of pair of Cookham boots for hill walking, and above all, some new books.
Whether it be Bourne End with its broad reach and the sailing punts, or the wooded heights by Clieveden; whether it be Boulter's Lock on Ascot Sunday, or the quiet stretch near Goring there is only one River. Henley, Wargrave, Cookham it matters not. . . . They all go to form The River.
