Odcombe was the birthplace of Tom Coryate, who, early in the 17th cent., tramped through Europe and the East. After his first journey he is said to have hung up his boots in the church. Orchardleigh, a modern mansion, 2 m. N. from Frome, built to replace the ancient seat of the Champneys.
Frome, a young and rising Under-Secretary, were waiting for her. Meadows accompanied her, but found her exceedingly ungracious. She did, however, inform him, as they followed the other two towards the exit from the garden, that she had come to the conclusion that the subject he was proposing for his second series of lectures, to be given at Dunstable House during the winter, "would never do."
"If you are really willing to take the risk we shall be glad to see you this afternoon." James observed that Alice Frome did not second her cousin's invitation. He temporized. "Oh, this afternoon! I have an engagement, but I am tempted to forget it in remembering a subsequent one." His smiling gaze passed to Alice and gave her another chance. Still she did not speak.
Proceeding about twelve miles down the beautiful valley of the Avon, we come to its junction with the Frome, where is located the ancient city and port of Bristol, the capital of the west of England.
"They are my friends, Miss Frome. Come to meet me, I expect. The little man in gray with one arm is Captain Chunn." She was all excitement at once. "Then they must have received your message?" "Probably." Jeff was the first man to meet Captain Chunn as he walked up the steps. The gray little man gave a whoop of joy. "David!" Their hands gripped.
Hale I don't know what she'd 'a' done if she hadn't 'a' had you to look after her; and I used to say the same thing 'bout your mother. You've had an awful mean time, Ethan Frome." She gave him a last nod of sympathy while her son chirped to the horse; and Ethan, as she drove off, stood in the middle of the road and stared after the retreating sleigh.
Possibly her advance in satire may arise from nothing more significant than her retreat into the past for a subject. Nevertheless, one step forward could make her an invaluable satirist of the current hour. Among Mrs. Wharton's novels are two Ethan Frome and Summer which unfold the tragedy of circumstances apparently as different as possible from those chronicled in the New York novels.
In addition to the valuable aid which I received from his Excellency the Governor, I was particularly indebted to Captain Frome the Surveyor-general, Captain Sturt the Assistant-commissioner, and Thomas Gilbert, Esq. the Colonial storekeeper, for unceasing kindness and attention, and for much important assistance rendered to me by the loan of books and instruments, the preparation of charts, and the fitting up of drays, etc. etc.
Beneath him is the valley of the Frome, and all the wild lands that come tossing down from Dorchester, black and gold, to mirror their gorse in the expanses of Poole. The valley of the Stour is beyond, unaccountable stream, dirty at Blandford, pure at Wimborne the Stour, sliding out of fat fields, to marry the Avon beneath the tower of Christ church.
Smiling, he held the gate open for her, and she passed through, discomfited, to join Sir Luke on the other side. Mr. Frome, the Under-Secretary, a young man of Jewish family and amazing talents, who had been listening with amusement to the conversation behind him, turned back to say to Meadows, at a safe distance "Keep it up! Keep it up! You avenge us all!"
