Span's owner shook his head; devoted though he was to his dog, he felt he could well do without Span for a while. After Bubbles and Donnington had disappeared together, their eager voices could be heard from the paved court-yard which connected two of the wings of Wyndfell Hall. Span was barking now, barking eagerly, happily, confidently.
The four men remained silent for awhile, and then Varick said slowly: "She can't have been in the water more than a minute before Donnington was in after her for of course I gave the alarm at once." Sir Lyon looked at him quickly. "I thought Donnington turned round and missed her?" "Donnington must have heard me call out."
The town took the English name of Cissanceaster, or Chichester. Moreover, all around the Chichester district, we still find a group of English clan villages, with the characteristic patronymic termination ing. Such are East and West Wittering, Donnington, Funtington, Didling, and others.
"What do you mean, darling?" he whispered. "I mean that the moment that stupid doctor allows me to get up then you and I will skip off by ourselves, and we'll say, 'Hullo, here's a church! Let's go in and get married." She waited a moment, but Bill Donnington said nothing. He only held her closer to him.
It was a good deal more than an hour later in fact nearer twelve than eleven o'clock when young Donnington got up from the comfortable chair where he had been ensconced, and put down the book which he had been reading. All the other men of the party, with the exception of old Mr. Burnaby who had gone to bed for good after his dramatic bolt from the drawing-room had disappeared some time ago.
It is necessary to premise that the landlord of the inn had informed them that a jovial party, intended, as he understood, to present some of the masques or mummeries which made a part of the entertainment with which the Queen was usually welcomed on the royal Progresses, had left the village of Donnington an hour or two before them in order to proceed to Kenilworth.
She turned her eager, smiling face on Lionel Varick, "I've always longed to stay in a haunted house. I wish the ghost would appear to me!" "Don't wish that, Miss Brabazon." It was Sir Lyon's quiet voice which uttered those five words very gravely. Sir Lyon liked Helen Brabazon. She was the only one of the party, with the exception of Bill Donnington, whom he did like.
The second battle took place after a year had passed, on October 27, 1644. The King's cause had been victorious in the west, and his army had afterwards successfully relieved Donnington Castle. The Royal forces were in a strong position to the north of Newbury, between Shaw House and the Kennet, with Donnington in the centre of the defences.
From Donnington he removed to Walton in Cheshire, where he lost his daughter who was carried off by a fever. His next removal was to Northolt, a pleasant village in the neighbourhood of London. He held none of his curacies long, either losing them from the caprice of his principals, or being compelled to resign them from the parsimony which they practised towards him.
But it seemed quite natural now simply wilful Bubbles' way. There was nothing Bubbles could do which would surprise Donnington now. "Don't shut your door," he muttered. "It might wake someone up. Just blow out the candles, and leave the door open." She obeyed him; and then he took her arm again blinded by the sudden obscurity in which they were now plunged.
