Possessing the smallest of competencies, this unhappy woman appeared to spend her life in journeyings between Endelstow Churchyard and that of a village near Southampton, where her father and mother were laid. She had not attended the service here for a considerable time, and she now seemed to have a reason for her choice of seat.
You will go right on to Endelstow, I suppose, at once? 'I can hardly do that at this time of the day. Perhaps you are not aware that the family her father, at any rate is at variance with me as much as with you. 'I didn't know it. 'And that I cannot rush into the house as an old friend any more than you can. Certainly I have the privileges of a distant relationship, whatever they may be.
It was late in the evening of the day following his departure from Endelstow. A drizzling rain descended upon London, forming a humid and dreary halo over every well-lighted street.
Her father had named the very day that Stephen also had named that morning as the earliest on which it would be of any use to meet her; that was, about fifteen days from the day on which he had left Endelstow. Fifteen days that fragment of duration which has acquired such an interesting individuality from its connection with the English marriage law.
There seemed a reproach in Knight's blind words, and yet she was not able to clearly define any disloyalty that she had been guilty of. 'A distant dearness in the hill. Knight turned his back upon the parish of Endelstow, and crossed over to Cork. One day of absence superimposed itself on another, and proportionately weighted his heart.
That day was an irksome time at Endelstow vicarage. Neither father nor daughter alluded to the departure of Stephen. Mr. Swancourt's manner towards her partook of the compunctious kindness that arises from a misgiving as to the justice of some previous act.
But once now and then, when I looked at his towering height, I'd think in my inside, "What a weight you'll be, my lord, for our arms to lower under the inside of Endelstow church some day!" 'And was he? inquired a young laborer. 'He was. He was five hundred weight if 'a were a pound.
Behind him wandered, helter-skelter, a boy of whom Knight had briefly inquired the way to Endelstow; and by that natural law of physics which causes lesser bodies to gravitate towards the greater, this boy had kept near to Knight, and trotted like a little dog close at his heels, whistling as he went, with his eyes fixed upon Knight's boots as they rose and fell.
'A telegram for Miss Swancourt, and three and sixpence to pay for the special messenger. Miss Swancourt sent out the money, signed the paper, and opened her letter with a trembling hand. She read: 'Johnson, Liverpool, to Miss Swancourt, Endelstow, near Castle Boterel. 'Amaryllis telegraphed off Holyhead, four o'clock.
Go for a drive to Targan Bay, come home by way of Endelstow House; and whilst I am looking over the documents you can ramble about the rooms where you like. I have the run of the house at any time, you know. The building, though nothing but a mass of gables outside, has a splendid hall, staircase, and gallery within; and there are a few good pictures. 'Yes, there are, said Stephen.
