I really find a deck-chair most comfortable; lined with pillows it does splendidly as a bed. We like the people; they are generous and kind. Repetto is most helpful. This afternoon he has been fixing the washing-stands. Every one is so interested in seeing anything new; the stove especially is an object of great interest. Saturday, April 2l. It has been very wet.
Although he was often seized with a kind of terror of the future of being unable to work he fought against these feelings and tried to believe that when the weather became warmer he would be all right once more. When Barrington came in Owen was sitting in a deck-chair by the fire in the sitting-room.
Now the former adviser of the King uneasily paced the deck. Over his usually sphinx-like face brooded the troubled expression of one who confronts an unwelcome necessity. Suddenly he halted before the girl's deck-chair, and, schooling his voice with an apparent effort, spoke in his old-time even modulation, but for once he found it difficult to meet the eyes of the person he addressed.
Later, starting out for a turn around the decks, they passed a deck-chair sheltered in a jog where the engine-room ventilating shaft joined the forward deck-house, in which Miss Brooke lay cocooned in wraps and furs, her profile, turned aside from the sea, exquisitely etched against the rich blackness of a fox stole. She slept as quietly as the most carefree, a shadowy smile touching her lips.
Anne looked at her watch. "Nearly a quarter to eight," she said. "I wonder when Ivor will turn up." She got up from her deck-chair and, leaning her elbows on the balustrade of the terrace, looked out over the valley and towards the farther hills. Under the level evening light the architecture of the land revealed itself.
Peter put down an English newspaper that he was reading, stretched his legs on a deck-chair, lighted a cigarette, and, as Mr. Purvis did not seem inclined to move off, made up his mind to submit to a talk with him under conditions as comfortable as possible.
"What's the matter?" I inquired of Nell, feeling a certain relief in talking to her, she looked so beautiful and so dependable. "Don't speak to the man at the wheel," she said, smiling, but keeping her eyes straight ahead. "Jonkheer Brederode says it's nothing serious; we aren't to worry," remarked the L.C.P. from her deck-chair. "I think it's rather fun to have a nice little accident.
Doctor, please give Miss Rostrevor something to pull her together." "I'm quite all right, thanks," said Myra and promptly disproved her own statement by dropping limply into a deck-chair, covering her face with her hands, and bursting into tears.
He lay in a deck-chair, with a cigar in his hand, apparently looking out at the shining water which stretched away before them, a vast sheet of turquoise, to the far horizon. "Well," he asked at length, "how's the Grenfell Consolidated progressing?" "It seems to be making most progress backward," said Weston.
Gordon took a deck-chair on to the Sixth Form green and settled down to read Endymion. But he found it impossible to concentrate his thoughts on anything but the riotous wave of introspection that was flooding his brain.
