Well, I did not stop to think twice about it I started off for Talvig at once I ran nearly all the way. I found my grandmother alone I asked her if she had seen the Froeken? She screamed and clapped her hands like a mad woman! she said that the Froeken was with Mr. Dyceworthy Mr. Dyceworthy would know what to do with her!" "Sapristi!" ejaculated Duprez. "This is serious!"
And he attempted to steal his arm round her waist, but the girl sprang back indignantly, and pulling down a thick branch of the clambering prickly roses from the porch, held it in front of her by way of protection. Mr. Dyceworthy laughed indulgently. "Very pretty very pretty indeed!" he mildly observed, eyeing her as she stood at bay barricaded by the roses. "Quite a picture!
Dyceworthy stopped abruptly, a little alarmed, as she suddenly cast aside the barrier of roses and advanced toward him, her blue eyes blazing. "My reputation!" she said haughtily. "Who speaks of it?" "Oh dear, dear me!" moaned the minister pathetically. "Sad! . . . very sad to see so ungovernable a temper, so wild and untrained a disposition!
Britta shook her head. "The tide is against them no! we shall be there first. But," and she looked wistfully at Pierre, "my grandmother said Mr. Dyceworthy had sworn to ruin the Froeken. What did she mean, do you think?" Duprez did not answer, he made a strange grimace and shrugged his shoulders. Then he seized the whip and lashed the pony.
The clear scornful laughter, the air of absolute authority with which she spoke, would have stung the most self-opinionated of men, even though his conscience were enveloped in a moral leather casing of hypocrisy and arrogance. And, notwithstanding his invariable air of mildness, Mr. Dyceworthy had a temper.
"It is a pity to talk any more," she said rather wearily. "It is all no use! Why do you wish to change me in my religion? I do not wish to change you. I do not see why we should speak of such things at all." "Of course!" replied Mr. Dyceworthy blandly. "Of course you do not see. And why? Because you are blind."
Dyceworthy all was plain and, notwithstanding her deliberate wickedness, she had lived her life without punishment! This was what made Gueldmar's blood burn, and pulses thrill.
"They are emblems of ever-working and patient industry, storing up honey for others to partake thereof." "They wudna store it up at a', perhaps, if they knew that," observed Sandy significantly. Mr. Dyceworthy positively shone all over with beneficence. "They would store it up, sir; yes, they would, even if they knew!
No 'twill be better we should take the boat and pull over to Bosekop; there we can get a carriole to take two of us at least to Talvig " He stopped, interrupted by Macfarlane, who looked particularly shrewd. "I should certainly advise ye to try Bosekop first," he remarked cautiously. "Mr. Dyceworthy might be able to provide ye with valuable information."
The short summer there was beginning to draw to a close, some of the birds took their departure from the coast, the dull routine of the place went on as usual, rendered even duller by the absence of the "witch" element of discord, a circumstance that had kept the superstitious villagers, more or less on a lively tension of religious and resentful excitement and by-and-by, the rightful minister of Bosekop came back to his duties and released the Reverend Charles Dyceworthy, who straightway returned to his loving flock in Yorkshire.
