His first uncertainty of himself had arisen at the Dunholm ball, when he had suddenly realised that he was detesting men who, being young and free, were at liberty to pay gallant court to the new beauty.
"As the relations between the two families have evidently been strained for years," Lord Dunholm said, "it is interesting to hear of the sudden advent of the sister. It seems to point to reconciliation. And you say the girl is an unusual person. "From what one hears, she would be unusual if she were an English girl who had spent her life on an English estate.
"Red Godwyn went forth, and after a bloody fight took his enemy's castle. If we still lived in like simple, honest times, I should take Dunholm Castle in the same way. He also took Alys of the Eyes and bore her away captive." "From such incidents developed the germs of the desire for female suffrage," Miss Vanderpoel observed gently.
She was driving Lady Anstruthers across the marshes in a cart. She drove well and " he laughed as he flicked the ash from his cigar "the back of her head and shoulders looked handsome." "The American young woman is at present a factor which is without doubt to be counted with," Lord Dunholm put the matter without lightness.
Now, a month's notice is the extremity of punishment, and the old pomp of armed servitors suggests comic opera. But we can show you relics of it at Dunholm." He joined his wife and began at once to make himself so delightful to Rosy that she ceased to be afraid of him, and ended by talking almost gaily of her London visit. Betty and Westholt walked together.
Lord Dunholm had sent a generous cheque to the aid of the sufferers, and so, also, had old Lady Alanby, but Miss Vanderpoel, consulting medical authorities and hospitals, learned exactly what was required, and necessities were forwarded daily in their most easily utilisable form. "You generously told me to ask you for anything we found we required," Mr. Penzance wrote to her in his note of thanks.
He was immensely touched by certain things she said about the First Man. "He is one of them," she said. "They find their way in the end they find their way. But just now he thinks there is none. He is standing in the dark where the roads meet." "You think he will find his way?" Lord Dunholm said. "Why do you think so?" "Because I KNOW he will," she answered. "But I cannot tell you WHY I know."
He did not smile when Penzance passed to the restoration of the ancient church at Mellowdene. "Restoration" usually meant the tearing away of ancient oaken, high-backed pews, and the instalment of smug new benches, suggesting suburban Dissenting chapels, such as the feudal soul revolts at. Neither did he smile at a reference to the gathering at Dunholm Castle, which was twelve miles away.
Penzance questions about English history," Betty said, on one of the afternoons in which they sat in the shade. "I need not ask you questions. You ARE English history." "And you are American history," Mount Dunstan answered. "I suppose I am." At one of their chance meetings Miss Vanderpoel had told Lord Dunholm and Lord Westholt something of the story of G. Selden.
"G. Selden knows it by heart, and will repeat it to you with running comments. Do you know I shall be very glad if you decide to buy one or two or three," with an uplift of the Irish blue eyes to Lord Dunholm. "The blood of the first Reuben Vanderpoel stirs in my veins also I have begun to be fond of G. Selden."
