Over Halcyone, in spite of her serenity, there crept a feeling of cold. She did not then analyze why, and, as was her habit when anything began to distress her, she looked out of the window, whether it were night or day. She always did this, and when her eyes saw Nature in any of her moods, calm returned to her. "She will simply revel in La Sarthe Chase when she sees it," Mr.
And the doe, feeling herself safe, trotted by, followed by a minute son in pale drab velvet hardly a month old. The pair in the tree watched them breathlessly until they had entered the copse again beyond the bend, and then Halcyone said: "That makes six and perhaps there are more. Oh! how I hope the Long Man will not see them!"
John Derringham closed his eyes his powers of reasoning were not strong enough yet to grasp the actual meaning of this it seemed to him as though Halcyone were dead, taken away from him by some fate and that all things were at an end. Arabella grew very frightened. "Mr. Carlyon telegraphs from London every day," she ventured to announce.
He wrote also versions from the Iliad, of which he quotes several in various works; heroic poems called Halcyone and Cimon, an elegy called Tamelastis, a Libellus iocularis, about which we have no certain information, and various epigrams to Tiro, Caninius, and others. It will he necessary to refer to some of these works on a future page.
And he alas! that hapless lover! was lying there in the haw-haw, with broken ankle and damaged head, half recovering consciousness in the pouring rain, but unable to stir or climb from his low bed, or even to cry aloud enough to make anyone hear him. And so at last the night came, and the pure moonlight, and when her usual evening duties were over with her aunts, Halcyone was free to go to bed.
"Good morning," Halcyone said quite composedly, "don't make a noise, please, or rustle the mother doe is just coming out of the copse with her new fawn." "How on earth did you get up there?" he asked, surprised. "I swung myself from the lower branch on the other side; it is quite easy would you like to come up, too?
"I know him then I bought my cottage from him. I suppose all this is necessary, because he seemed an honest fellow." "Someone long ago made it necessary it is not the Aunts' fault " and then Halcyone stopped abruptly and pointed to the beech avenue which they were approaching now through the bracken, brown and crisp from last year, with only here and there a green shoot showing.
At this moment, out from the copse the soft head of a doe appeared, and at the thrilling sight Halcyone slipped her hand into her companion's, and held his tight lest he should move or rustle a leaf. "See," she whispered right in his ear. "She will cross to the other side by the stream and oh! there is the fawn! Is he not the dearest baby angel you have ever seen !"
Halcyone went to the window and looked out upon the trees in the triangular piece of green. They were not her trees, but they were still Nature, of a stunted kind, and they would understand and comfort her or, at all events, enable her to regain some calm. She took in deep breaths, and gradually a peace fell upon her. Her friend God would never desert her, she felt.
"You may laugh at me if you like," said Halcyone, and she smiled; his gayety was infectious, "but I am not so very young. I shall be thirteen in October, the seventh of October." John Derringham appeared to be duly impressed with this antiquity, and went on gravely: "So you and the Master discuss these knotty points of honor and expediency together, do you, as a recreation from the Greek syntax?
