Your mackintosh is half-a-mile away." She looked at him with dismay, but he remained inexorable. He had no desire to have her fainting on his hands. As if she had been a boy, he gripped her by the elbow. Again she submitted stumblingly to his behest, but when they had covered half the distance Courteney had mercy. "You're fagged out," he said. "Rest here while I go and fetch it!"
"I think," said Randal Courteney slowly, "that I shall never despise any one again." "Life is so difficult," said Rosemary, with the air of one who knew. They were strewing the Pier with roses for Rosa Mundi's night. There were garlands of roses, festoons of roses, bouquets of roses; roses overhead, roses under foot, everywhere roses. Summer had returned triumphant to deck the favourite's path.
"But to her lover," he said, "she is and always has been Rosa Mundi." Then speech came back to Courteney, and strength returned. He held himself in firm restraint. He had been stricken, but he did not flinch. "Your husband?" he said. She indicated Grant with a careless hand. "Since yesterday," she said. He bowed to her again, severely formal. "May I wish you joy?" he said.
Ere the frown had died from his face she was gone, pattering lightly over the sand, flitting like a day-dream into the blinding sunshine that seemed to drop a veil behind her, leaving him to his thoughts. Randal Courteney was an old and favoured guest at the Hurley Bay Hotel. From his own particular corner of the great dining-room he was accustomed to look out upon the world that came and went.

In the mean time Wyatt's rebellion broke out; he marched to London, was entrapped there and taken prisoner, as is related at length in the last chapter.

Miss Courteney said the other day that we might take an example from you in that; you do what you have to do with all your might, and so quickly too, and yet you are not a bit serious by nature, commented Doreen.
"They're wonders!" cried Captain Courteney joyously. "And to think that you didn't have that pair out last year." "Both refused even to think of going into training last year," retorted the Army coach. "Both were keen on the bone. But, bone or no bone, we've got to have them on the eleven the rest of this season."
I wish you taught me mathematics by myself, I mean. Miss Courteney is a very good teacher; but, you see, she has thirty of us, so she can't explain each sum to each girl as you have explained this to me. Besides, the others don't seem to want so much explanation as I do, cried Vava, delighted at understanding at last a difficult rule. 'Is that so?
And when he took it she made a slight movement towards him, as of one about to make a confidence. "Now we can talk," she said. He let her hand go again, and felt in the pocket of his coat, which he carried on his arm, for his pipe. She drew a little nearer to him.
