"Ah, here you are, mon gars!" said Uncle George. "And where are they?" "Coming along. I saw them past Les Cagnons. How are they at Eperquerie?" "We left them at it, but they're scotched there. Will they try here, or go on?" "Dixcart, if they know their business. It'll be all hands to the pumps there, Uncle George. Four of us could hold the tunnel here against fifty."
And yet, even then, in Sercq the sun shone soft and warm, the sky and sea were blue, the fouaille was golden-brown on the hillside, the young gorse was showing pale on the Eperquerie, and the Butcher's Broom on Tintageu was brilliant with scarlet berries. To any man even to our warders Amperdoo was a desolation akin to death.
Before them, the long, broken slopes of the Eperquerie swept down from the heights to the sea, one vast blaze of flaming gorse a tumultuous torrent of solid sunshine stayed suddenly in its course.
"Any beach about there?" enquired Charles forethoughtfully. "Nice little bit just round the corner, with a cave and all, capital place for children. Paddle by the hour without going in above your ankles." And so they wandered slowly up the scented lanes past the Seigneurie, laden with the usual paraphernalia of a bathing-lunch, and came out on the Eperquerie.
" But if some present benefit was to come to his creditors I should consider it right to do it, not otherwise." "Suppose you go across, and see him, and talk it over with him, Mr. Pixley?" said Hennie Penny. "I suppose that's the only thing to be done," groaned Charles. "How do you get there?" "The Courier would call here by arrangement up at the Eperquerie," said Graeme.
My mother would have added to our supplies, but we had as much as we could carry, and enough, we thought, for the term of our probable imprisonment. So we bade her farewell, and went on across the fields, past La Moinerie towards the Eperquerie. "We are going to the Boutiques," I said. "My Boutiques," said Uncle George, with a laugh.
Instead of running into Havre Gosselin, he set for the Bec du Nez, the eastern point of the island. His object was to land upon the rocks of the Eperquerie, where the women would be safe whatever befell. The tide was running strong round the point, and the surf was heavy, so that once or twice the boat was almost overturned; but Jean had measured well the currents and the wind.
They took him for a stroll up to the Eperquerie in the cool of the gloaming, and showed him more shooting stars than ever he had seen in his life, and a silver sickle of a moon, and a western sky still smouldering with the afterglow of a crimson and amber sunset, and he acknowledged that, from some points of view, Sark had advantages over Throgmorton Street.
Several times a year she made this journey, landing at the Eperquerie Rocks as she had done one day long ago, and selling her beautiful wool caps and jackets to the farmers and fisher-folk, getting in kind for what she gave.
There was no need to ask how the boats were heading. All eyes were fixed anxiously on them as they came straight for the north of the Island, and just as we came up Amice Le Couteur gave the word to move on to Eperquerie. Stragglers from the more distant houses were coming up every few minutes.
