He perceived the insane eagerness through her mask, and despised it, pitying the woman. 'And you don't, he said. 'You catch at delusions, to excuse the steps you consent to take. Or you want me to wear the blinkers, the better to hoodwink your own eyes. You see it as well as I: If you enter that house, you have to go through the same as at Creckholt: and he'll be the first to take fright.
Physically unable herself to be regretful under a burden three parts enrapturing her, the girl expected her mother to display a shadowy vexation, with a proud word or two, that would summon her thrilling sympathy in regard to the fourth part: namely, the aristocratic iciness of country magnates, who took them up and cast them off; as they had done, she thought, at Craye Farm and at Creckholt: she remembered it, of the latter place, wincingly, insurgently, having loved the dear home she had been expelled from by her pride of the frosty surrounding people or no, not all, but some of them.
By the way, Fredi has little Mab Mountney from Creckholt staying with her. You said of little Mabsy "Here she comes into the room all pink and white, like a daisy." She's the daisy still; reminds us of our girl at that age. So, then, we come to another dead block! 'Well, no; it's a chemist's shop, if that helps us on, said Fenellan, settling to a new posture in his chair.
Saw man ever the like for pleasing a poetical damsel? So was Miss Fredi, the coldest of the party hitherto, and dreaming a preference of 'old places' like Creckholt and Craye Farm, 'captured to be enraptured, quite according to man's ideal of his beneficence to the sex. She pressed the hand of her young French governess, Louise de Seilles.
The look was interpreted by Nesta as belonging to the social annoyances dating, in her calendar, from Creckholt, apprehensively dreaded at Lakelands. She hinted asking, and her mother nodded; not untruthfully; but she put on a briskness after the nod; and a doubt was driven into Nesta's bosom. Her dear Skepsey was coming down to her for a holiday, she was glad to hear.
Colney brought his viola for a duet; they had a pleasant musical evening, as in old days at Creckholt; and Nesta, going upstairs with the ladies to bed, made them share her father's amused view of the lamb of the flock this bitter gentleman became when he had the melodious instrument tucked under his chin. He was a guest for the night.
There's her point of view to be considered: silly, crazy; but one sees it. We are not sure that she struck a blow at Craye or Creckholt. I wonder she never wrote. She was frightened, when she came to manage her property, of signing her name to anything. Absurd, that sending of Jarniman! However, it's her move; we make a corresponding disposition of our chessmen.

'I leave Col to his guesses. He'd have been prophesying fire the works before the completion. 'Then it is not a dear old house, like Craye and Creckholt? 'Wait and see to-morrow.
If it came to consideration of her family and the family's opinion of her conduct, her judgement did not side with them or with herself, it whirled, swam to a giddiness and subsided. Of course, if she and Victor were to inhabit a large country-house, they might as well have remained at Craye Farm or at Creckholt; both places dear to them in turn. Such was the plain sense of the surface question.
