I am thankful, Sir Charles, I am grateful the more so that I have the happiness of knowing I owe the consideration with which I am treated, in Deadham, entirely to you. Yes, yes," she cried in rising exaltation, "I do not deny that I went to Harchester yesterday went Dr.
Not via Marychurch to Harchester, well understood, shepherded by Theresa Bilson, the members of the Deadham Church choir and their supporters; but for travel upon the grand scale, with all its romance and enlargement of experience, its possible dangers and certain hardships, as the author of Eöthen had known it and her father, for that matter, had known it in earlier days too.
Of course, you might stay with your friends, the good Miss Minetts; but I can't honestly counsel your doing so. I am afraid Sir Charles might not quite like your remaining in Deadham directly after leaving his house. It might be awkward, and give rise to tiresome enquiries and comment. One has to consider those things.
The house a whitewashed, featureless erection was planted at right angles to the deep sandy lane leading up from the shore, through the scattered village of Deadham, to the three-mile distant market town of Marychurch.
Consequently, in coming to Deadham Hard, Tom had thought of this little cousin in as far as it occurred to him to think of her at all as a child in the schoolroom who, beyond a trifle of good-natured notice at odd moments, would not enter into the count or matter at all.
Yet just now he grew distrustful, as though its fair seeming cloaked some subtle trickery and deceit. He began to wish he had not undertaken this expedition to Deadham; but gone straight from the normal, solidly engrained philistinism of dear old Canton Magna to join his ship. In coming here he had, to put it vulgarly, bitten off more than he could chew.
This lateral extension of the house, constructed according to his own plans, was, like its designer, somewhat eccentric in character. The three rooms were semicircular, all window on the southern garden front, veritable sun-traps, with a low sloped roofing of grey-green slate to them, set fan-wise. Such was the house at Deadham Hard when Mr. Verity's labours were completed.
Must organize word of power organize night classes, lectures with lantern slides, social evenings, a lads' club. Above all was there room and necessity for this last. The Deadham lads were very rowdy, very unruly. They gathered at corners in an objectionable manner; hung about the public-house. He must undersell the public-house by offering counter attractions.
Yes remembrance grew more precise and stable. He recalled the circumstances quite clearly now. He had seen it on his way back from a solitary afternoon's wild fowl shooting on Marychurch Haven; during his last visit to Deadham Hard. So much was certain. But the name in its present connection? Carteret's imagination shied.
Here and now he would satisfy his curiosity and at her expense regarding one at least of the queer riddles Deadham Hard had sprung on him. "I did not know your father suffered from sleeplessness," he said. "It must be horribly trying and depressing.
