In a cleft of the hills a haze of smoke marked the position of Lewes. Immediately at our feet there lay a rolling plain of heather, with the long, vivid green stretches of the Crowborough golf course, all dotted with the players. A little to the south, through an opening in the woods, we could see a section of the main line from London to Brighton.
"Oh dear, no," said Carrissima, as they crossed the park. "Only to ask her to call on a girl she met when we were staying at Crowborough some years ago." "What's she like pretty, by any chance?" "Very pretty," answered Carrissima. "Then I'm your man. I can go instead if you give me the address, and there's no time like the present." "Jimmy, you must try not to be ridiculous," said Carrissima.
It was out at last, and she looked up composedly, smiling a little roguishly at his embarrassment. "I have six hundred dollars in bank for a rainy day, and I am making exactly fifteen dollars a week." "But you can't live on it. Nobody could live on it even without two children to bring up." She shook her head. "Oh, Judge Crowborough, how little you rich men really know!
Lady Henry gave her consent that Mademoiselle Le Breton should accompany the Duchess to Lady Hubert's party almost with effusion. "It will be very dull," she said. "My sister-in-law makes a desert and calls it society. But if you want to go, go. As to Evelyn Crowborough, I am engaged to my dentist to-morrow morning."
He tried to write an answer, but could not achieve even the simplest note. Then he began a pacing of his room, which lasted till he dropped into his chair, worn out with the sheer physical exhaustion of the night and day. When his servant came in he found his master in a heavy sleep. And, at Crowborough House, the Duke dined and fumed alone.
To the north-west rises Mount Harry, and to the right of this stretches the wide expanse of the Weald bounded by the sombre ridges of Ashdown Forest, dominated by Crowborough Beacon slightly east of due north. The quarries and combe of Cliffe Hill stand up with fine effect immediately east of the town, which sinks from where we stand to the Ouse at the bottom of the valley.
They could not tolerate the idea of Bridget's whereabouts remaining unknown, and all Jimmy's coolness and assurance were required to restore them to anything resembling tranquillity. He left the house with a feeling that the scent of lavender must be still clinging to his clothes, and the next morning found him at Crowborough.
He was staring steadily over the great stretch of open country to where Crowborough lay in the purple distance. "When you came to me last night, little Joan, I thought I should suffocate with the happiness of it. It seemed so gloriously trustful of you . . . though, I must admit that idea did not come at first. You see I'm only a man; and you're a lovely girl. . . ." He laughed a little shortly.
George has settled down," said Mrs. Fowler quickly, too quickly it occurred to Gabriella, who was eager to hear all that the daring Patty would say. "Don't you think those white furs look well on Gabriella?" "She looks like the snow queen in them. Does it matter what I wear to-night? Who is coming?" "Nobody you will care about only Judge and Mrs. Crowborough and Colonel Buffington."
The doctors gave his illness a long name I dare say you would understand if I could remember; but what killed him was a broken heart." "How was that?" asked Mark. "What we really lived upon," answered Bridget, "was my mother's income. That died with her all but a small sum, which she left to me. We were compelled to leave Crowborough, and father seemed to droop like some transplanted flower.
