The light came from somewhere behind the village, from a sunset you couldn't see. It made the smooth hill fields shine like thin velvet, stretched out, clinging to the hills. "Oh, Roddy, the light's different. Different from Ilford. Look " "I've been looking for five weeks," Roddy said. "You haven't, that's all. I was excited at first." He got up. He stared out of the window, not seeing anything.
She was actually crying about it only last night." "But what's to be done?" said my father. "They will be here in less than an hour." "There will be no dinner for them," said my mother, "unless I put on an apron and bring it up myself." "Where does she live?" asked my father. "At Ilford," answered my mother. "We must make a joke of it," said my father. My mother, sitting down, began to cry.

It made itself small again for Mark and Mamma. Across the white space she heard him saying things: about Dan meeting him at Tilbury, and poor Victor coming to Liverpool Street, and Cox's. Last night he had stayed at Ilford, he had seen Bella and Edward and Pidgeon and Mrs. Fisher and the Proparts. "Do you remember poor Edward and his sheep? And Mary's lamb!"
Then he went on to the Straits Settlements and finally took a partnership in a practice at Penang. Anne left Wyck at Easter and returned in August because of Colin. Then she went back to her Ilford farm. The two years passed, and in the spring of the third year, nineteen fourteen, she came again. i Something awful had happened. Adeline had told Anne about it.
