They swarmed in Hermione Heriot and Paul Filey appearing for the first time since church they overflowed into the Hall, while Jean Dunbarton, with artless enthusiasm, was demanding of Miss Levering if the reason she knew Mr. Stonor was that she had been hearing him speak. 'Yes, the lady met his eyes, 'I was visiting some relations near Dutfield. They took me to hear you.
Bending over the Bedlington, the Amazon remained on the top step, her long, rather good figure garbed in stuff which Filey had said was fit only for horse-blankets, but which was Harris tweed slackly belted by a broad canvas girdle drawn through a buckle of steel.
The others were walking round the enclosing grass paths that served as broad green border, and Filey, who had been in all sorts of queer places, said the yellow garden made him think of a Mexican serapé 'one of those silk scarves, you know native weaving made out of the pineapple fibre. But Vida only said, 'Yes. It's a good scheme of colour.
I can't say but I was glad of a little rest, for I had been packing up for the whole family for ten days past, with interludes of rushing out into the town; for whatever we had not forgotten, the shops had not sent home! Oh! what a paradise of quiet it was under the rocks at Filey wasn't it, Julius?" "We will go there again next time we have a chance," said Julius, looking blissful.
How sorely my heart longs for you, I need not say. I have bathed once; it seemed to do me good. I may, perhaps, stay here a fortnight. There are as yet scarcely any visitors. A Lady Wenlock is staying at the large house of which you used so vigilantly to observe the inmates. One day I set out with intent to trudge to Filey Bridge, but was frightened back by two cows.
Little Tom long remembered this; and his mother cried over it hundreds of times. Although it was getting on for midnight now, Master Gristhorp and his wife came out into the road before their house, to see the departure of their guests. And this they could do well, because the moon had cleared all the fog away, and was standing in a good part of the sky for throwing clear light upon Filey.
For the benefit of his end of the table Paul Filey had begun to describe the new one-man show of caricatures of famous people just opened in Bond Street. The 'mordant genius, as he called it, of this new man an American Jew offered an irresistible opportunity for phrase-making.
Hermione, you show Mr. Filey the garden. And maybe, Lord Borrodaile would like to see it, too. Although the last-named failed to share the enthusiasm expected in a gardener, he pulled his long, slackly-put-together figure out of the chair and joined the young people. When they were out of earshot, 'What's the matter? asked Lady John. 'Matter?
So it was resolved between them both that the girl should go on the following day for a visit to her uncle Popplewell, some miles the other side of Filey. No invitation was required; for Mr. and Mrs. Popplewell, a snug and comfortable pair, were only too glad to have their niece, and had often wanted to have her altogether; but the farmer would never hear of that.
They seemed glad to see me, remembered you and me very well, and, seemingly, with great good will. The daughter who used to wait on us is just married. Filey seems to me much altered; more lodging-houses some of them very handsome have been built; the sea has all its old grandeur. I walk on the sands a good deal, and try NOT to feel desolate and melancholy.
