Cope, she entreated her mother to go to Ivell and see if the young man were ill. Mrs. Millborne went, returning the same day. Frances, anxious and haggard, met her at the station. Was all well? Her mother could not say it was; though he was not ill. One thing she had found out, that it was a mistake to hunt up a man when his inclinations were to hold aloof.
Having become accustomed by her residence at home to the business carried on by her father, she surprised them one day by going off with the child to Chalk-Newton, in the direction of the town of Ivell, and opening a miniature fruit and vegetable shop, attending Ivell market with her produce.
Her only travels now were a journey to Ivell on market-days, and once a fortnight to the churchyard in which Clark lay, there to tend, with Johnny's assistance, as widows are wont to do, the flowers she had planted upon his grave. On a day about eighteen months after his unexpected decease, Selina was surprised in her lodging over her little shop by a visit from Bartholomew Miller.
Observing their forms he shouted, 'I'm going to Narrobourne; who may you be? They went up to him, and revealed themselves, reminding him of the plan which he had himself proposed in his note, that they should meet him at Ivell. 'By Jerry, I'd forgot it! he said. 'Well, what do you want me to do? His tone was distinctly quarrelsome.
At the banquet which was then held he looked at her again, and every time he took a drink he toasted Ivell across the brim of his goblet, and in a little while she began to toast him back across the rim of her cup, for he was drinking ale, but she was drinking mead.
The young curate of Ivell still held aloof, tantalizing Frances by his elusiveness. Plainly he was waiting upon events. Millborne bore the reproaches of his wife and daughter almost in silence; but by degrees he grew meditative, as if revolving a new idea.
Cornelius, to whom the millwright always addressed his letters when he wrote any, drew from his pocket and re-read as he walked the curt note which had led to this journey being undertaken; it was despatched by their father the night before, immediately upon his liberation, and stated that he was setting out for Narrobourne at the moment of writing; that having no money he would be obliged to walk all the way; that he calculated on passing through the intervening town of Ivell about six on the following day, where he should sup at the Castle Inn, and where he hoped they would meet him with a carriage-and-pair, or some other such conveyance, that he might not disgrace them by arriving like a tramp.
However, I have nothing in particular to say about his early and active days, but rather of the time when, an old man, he had become the owner of vast estates by the means I have signified among them the great manor of Stapleford, on which he lived, in the splendid old mansion now pulled down; likewise estates at Marlott, estates near Sherton Abbas, nearly all the borough of Millpool, and many properties near Ivell.
"Do you see this woman sitting beside me?" he continued, pointing to Duv Laca. "I do indeed," said Mongan. "Well," said Branduv, "this woman is Duv Laca of the White Hand that I took away from Mongan; she is just going to marry me, but if you will make an exchange, you can marry this Duv Laca here, and I will marry that Ivell of the Shining Cheeks yonder." Mongan pretended to be very angry then.
During the evening he said to her casually: 'Is your step-father a cousin of your mother, dear Frances? 'Oh, no, said she. 'There is no relationship. He was only an old friend of hers. Why did you suppose such a thing? He did not explain, and the next morning started to resume his duties at Ivell. Cope was an honest young fellow, and shrewd withal. At home in his quiet rooms in St.
