Penfer the next day; she would hope that he would be on the watch for her; she would be sure of it. But Denas did not visit St. Penfer that week, and Roland grew desperate. On Saturday night he went down the cliff after dark and hung around John's cottage, hoping that for some reason or other Denas would come to the door. He had a note in his hand ready to put into her hand if she did so.
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and as a storm hurleth him out of his place." And it was to these words, with their awful application to the wicked, that Denas listened the last night she intended to spend under her father's roof.
The time for Denas has passed that is all, Roland. What are you going to do about Caroline? When will you ask her to marry you?" "I have asked her twice already; once in Rome, when she put me off; and again in London, when she decidedly refused me." "What did she say?"
And as Elizabeth listened to her husband half singing the charmful words, she took a sudden dislike to Denas. But she said: "The song is a lovely song, and I must send for Denas to sing it again for us."
John Penelles was occupied on the afternoon of that Saturday which comes between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. His boat was rocking on the tide-top and he seemed to be looking at her. But his bright blue eyes saw nothing seaward; he was mentally watching the flowery winding way up the cliff to St. Penfer. If his daughter Denas was coming down it he would hear her footsteps in his heart.
Burrell had his watch in his hand; Roland was directing Frederick as to the particular piece of fowl he wanted. Then there was a little laugh and the sound of voices, and Elizabeth and Denas entered together. Elizabeth had made Denas remove her hat and cloak, and the girl was exceedingly pretty.
She said she had heard that Denas and Tris Penrose were to be married, and she thought Denas might like to make some steady money to help the furnishing. She would give her two shillings a day and her board and lodging. Also, she could have Saturday and Sunday at her home if she wished.
Yes, yes, if you aren't very sure how to act, take the kind way rather than the ill way; you will be mostly right, my dear." Of course Denas had no idea of taking either way, but the invitation furnished her with a reason for wearing her best dress on Monday; and she had been much exercised to find out a cause for this unusual finery.
He would talk nothing but the most extravagant nonsense, and finally Denas believed him. He gave her a ring that looked very like Elizabeth's betrothal ring, and was even larger than Elizabeth's, and he told her to wear it in her breast until she could wear it on her hand.
"If you sew until ten o'clock, you will not have done a day's work." "I am going home, Priscilla. I will work for you no more. You have behaved shamefully to me all day, and I am going home." Priscilla had not calculated on such a result, and it was inconvenient to her. She began to talk more reasonably, but Denas would listen to no apology.
