"Well, well," continued the Captain, "you see our little flower died after a while, and all the other little flowers died; and this brought us to the end of our third summer on the island and into the third winter. "This winter passed away as the previous ones had done, and we felt still greater resignation. "'Here we are forever, said the Dean, 'and that we must make up our minds to.
Lord Lynedale came to my cousin's rooms next day George told me plainly that he made friends with those who would advance him when he was a clergyman and taking an interest in a self-educated author, bade me bring my poems to the Eagle and ask for Dean Winnstay. Lord Lynedale was to marry Dean Winnstay's niece.
It was a fine letter and it removed what resentment still remained with Ted against his father. His mother also wrote, saying she was wonderfully happy and he got a short note from John Dean before he left. He also heard from Walker, who told him he was off for the war, but that Strong had to stay. Syd Graham and Ted were inseparable.
For them there was never more than ninepence in a shilling, if so much. They were a race who could not pay their way with moderate incomes. Even the dear dean, who really had a conscience about money, and who hardly ever left Bobsborough, could not be kept quite clear of debt, let her do what she would.
The ruins are of a quadrangular fortress, and within the courtyard Wordsworth once met the child whose prattle suggested his familiar poem, "We are Seven." Little now remains of Goodrich Priory, but the parish church of the village can be seen afar off, and contains a chalice presented by Dean Swift, whose grandfather, Thomas Swift, was once its rector.
Slipping into her coat, she wound a silken scarf about her head and went downstairs. "I'm going out to the mailbox, Mother," she called, as she passed the living-room door. "Very well," returned Mrs. Dean, abstractedly. She was deep in her book and did not glance up, for which Marjorie was thankful. If her mother noticed her reddened eyelids, explanations would necessarily follow.
The dean also got down and left his horse at a farmyard, as Grantly had done with his carriage; and walked on first to the school. He heard voices inside, but could not distinguish from them whether Mr Crawley was there or not. Slowly he opened the door, and looking round saw that Jane Crawley was in the ascendant.
The Dean gave them to me: it's the one thing he can do grow violets. You shall have them all to yourself." She fetched a silver cup and began arranging them. Aymer ceased to be tired, ceased to be anything but supremely content as his eyes followed her. She went on relating her experience until she had made him laugh, and then she came and sat on a little stool near him.
Marcia's mother, her face stiffening, rose unwillingly. "What are we supposed to do?" asked the Dean, addressing Newbury. "We have evensong in chapel at seven," said Newbury. "My father set up the custom many years ago. It gathers us all together better than evening prayer after dinner." His tone was simple and matter-of-fact. He turned radiantly to Marcia, and took her hand again.
Billy Dean and Charley Atwood were much affected by what had occurred, and quickly retired from the scene. But later both of the small students thanked Dick and the others for what had been done for them. The broken flagstaff was hauled away by the laborers of the place, and inside of a week a new pole, much larger than the old one, and set in concrete, was put up.
