Well, what else, Nathanael?" "Elizabeth, since Emily's death, seems to have longed after you very much. You were the next eldest, you know, and she fancies you were always very like Emily. She says it is so long since you have been to Kingcombe." "It is such a dull place. Besides I have seen them all elsewhere occasionally."
She snatched at all sorts of knowledge, talked over butchers, and bakers, and house expenses, and Kingcombe ways of marketing, taking an interest in the most commonplace things. For pervading everything was the consciousness, "It is his home I have to make comfortable." That thought sanctified and beautified all.
"Nay, dear, don't be afraid, how don't'ee as we Dorset people would say. Kingcombe Holm lies in a valley. You would never know you were so near the ocean. It is the same at Anne Valery's house." "Where is that!" said Agatha, brightening up at the mention of the name. "Why, this animal seems inclined to show me even if I did not know it of long habit," answered Mr.
She was different, and he too. Neither knew how or when the change came but it was there. She did so miss him, when, having taken them safe to Thornhurst, and told her "that she might stay there as long as Anne needed her, but no longer" ah, that happy "but!" he went away to his own little house at Kingcombe, and busied himself there for three days.
I would like every one here to be interested in our good sisters and in all at home." "Yes oh, yes," responded the other, mechanically. "Any messages for me?" "My father says he hopes to see you this autumn at Kingcombe. He is growing an old man now." "Ah, indeed! An admirable man is my father, Miss Bowen. Quite a gentleman of the old school; but peculiar rather peculiar.
Speaking of "next year," Anne's voice faltered, but the momentary feebleness passed. "Still, there is one thing, Frederick, which nobody can do but you; and it is necessary not only to save yourself but to redeem the honour of your house. It will not cost you much only a few years' retrenchment, living with your sisters at Kingcombe Holm."
Locke Harper, could drive through Kingcombe without the fact being speedily circulated throughout the whole town? Why, my dear, if you must know, the grocer told Mrs. Edwards' nursemaid, and Mrs. Edwards' nursemaid told it to Mrs. Jones at the Library, and Mrs.
Brian shook his niece's hand. "I shall go back across the moors to Kingcombe. Tell her, if, at any time, she would like to see an old friend" He stopped, threw down Dunce's reins, and started off towards the high ground, striding over heather and furze, with his free backwoodsman's step. Andrews looked after him. "If that be any man alive it be Mr. Locke Harper!
"You have hitherto had nothing from me your Uncle Brian insisted on that nor will you ever have much; I must keep my property intact for the next heir of Kingcombe Holm. Nothing shall alienate the rights of my eldest son, with whom rests the honour of our family and name."
Nobody asked what she and Duke Dugdale had conversed about; but Harrie shrewdly suspected he had been talking poor dear Anne to death about the votes of her Kingcombe tenantry, and the probable chances of Mr. Trenchard and Free-trade. To see the elder Mr. Harper sitting at the head of his own dinner-table was a real pleasure. He never looked so well at any other time.
