He fell, and did not move, lying as Melbury afterwards found him. The boy ran away, salving his conscience for the desertion by thinking how vigorously he would spread the alarm of the accident when he got to Hintock which he uncompromisingly did, incrusting the skeleton event with a load of dramatic horrors.
"Nor was he," said Grace. "But, Miss Melbury, I saw him." "No," said Grace. "It was somebody else. Giles Winterborne is nothing to me." The leaves over Hintock grew denser in their substance, and the woodland seemed to change from an open filigree to a solid opaque body of infinitely larger shape and importance.
Her curiosity was so widely awakened by the phenomenon that she sat up in bed, and stared steadily at the shine. An appearance of this sort, sufficient to excite attention anywhere, was no less than a marvel in Hintock, as Grace had known the hamlet.
"But though I've been to Great Hintock and Hintock House half a dozen times I am at fault about the small village. You can help me, I dare say?" She assured him that she could that as she went to Great Hintock her van passed near it that it was only up the lane that branched out of the lane into which she was about to turn just ahead. "Though," continued Mrs.
"Oh yes you may depend upon that!" replied he, warmly, though scarcely thinking of what he was saving, so vividly was there present to his mind the personality of Mrs. Charmond. The doctor's professional visit to Hintock House was promptly repeated the next day and the next. He always found Mrs.
"But I thought your fall did not hurt you," said she. "Who did this?" "Felice my father-in-law!...I have crawled to you more than a mile on my hands and knees God, I thought I should never have got here!...I have come to you be-cause you are the only friend I have in the world now....I can never go back to Hintock never to the roof of the Melburys!
Since one of the Souths still survived, there was not much doubt that Giles could do what his father had left undone, as far as his own life was concerned. This possibility cheered him much, for by those houses hung many things. Melbury's doubt of the young man's fitness to be the husband of Grace had been based not a little on the precariousness of his holdings in Little and Great Hintock.
So the young wife sat by the fire, waiting silently. She had left Hintock in a turmoil of feeling after the revelation of Mrs. Charmond, and had intended not to be at home when her husband returned. But she had thought the matter over, and had allowed her father's influence to prevail and bring her back; and now somewhat regretted that Edgar's arrival had preceded hers. By-and-by Mrs.
The question had been mooted between them before, and she was not unprepared to consider it. They had not proceeded far with the discussion when a knock came to the door, and in a minute Grammer ran up to say that a message had arrived from Hintock House requesting Dr. Fitzpiers to attend there at once. Mrs. Charmond had met with a slight accident through the overturning of her carriage.
Marty, who turned her hand to anything, was usually the one who performed the part of keeping the trees in a perpendicular position while he threw in the mould. He accompanied her towards the spot, being stimulated yet further to proceed with the work by the knowledge that the ground was close to the way-side along which Grace must pass on her return from Hintock House.
