'You don't think, then, you see any resemblance ANY resemblance at all? 'Resemblance? repeated Mr Bethany in a flat voice, and without raising his face again to meet Lawford's direct scrutiny. 'Resemblance to whom? 'To me? To me, as I am? 'Why, said Lawford, 'he's buried in Widderstone.
In the course of the day we saw geese and ducks with their young and two deer, and experienced very great variations of temperature from the light breezes blowing alternately from the ice and the land. The name of Lawford's Islands was bestowed on a group we passed in the course of the day as a mark of my respect for Vice-Admiral Lawford, under whose auspices I first entered the naval service.
'Yes, he said, and stalked slowly towards the door. But there he paused. 'God knows, he said, strangely and meekly, 'I am sorry, sorry for all this. You will forgive me, Sheila? She looked up swiftly. 'It's very tiresome, I can't find anywhere, she murmured, 'I can't find anywhere the the little red box key. Lawford's cheek turned more sallow than ever.
As she could not hope to hear from the Curlew again until the schooner made the port of Boston, Lawford's letters were the limit of her correspondence. Louise had always failed to make many close friends among women. Her interests aside from those at the store and with the movie people were limited, too. The butterfly society of The Beaches did not much attract Louise Grayling.
The vicar came again, wrapped up in a little tight grey great-coat, and a white silk muffler. He looked up unflinching into Lawford's face, and tears stood in his eyes. 'Patience, patience, my dear fellow, he repeated gravely, squeezing his hand. 'And rest, complete rest, is imperative. Just till the first thing to-morrow.
The man himself, breathing, and thinking, began to live for Lawford even in those few half-articulate pages, though not in quite so formidable a fashion as Mr Bethany had summed him up. But as the west began to lighten with the declining sun, the same old disquietude, the same old friendless and foreboding ennui stole over Lawford's solitude once more.
I came, my dear fellow, in gloomy disturbance of mind. It was getting up too early; it fogs old brains. Good-bye, good-bye. He squeezed Lawford's hand. Then, with umbrella under his arm, his hat on his head, his spectacles readjusted, he hurried out of the room. Mrs Lawford followed him. For a few minutes Lawford sat motionless, with head bent a little, and eyes restlessly scanning the door.
It was seldom that Lawford turned upon his father in anger. "You know very well what I mean. Keep away from such women. Don't get messed up with actor people. I won't have it, I tell you! I am determined that at least one rich man's son shall not be the victim of the wiles of any of these stage women." The flush remained in Lawford's cheek.
'I'll get a little sal volatile. She softly drew out the key, and without once removing her eyes from his face, opened the door and pushed the key noiselessly in on the other side. 'Please stay there; I won't be a minute. Lawford's face smiled a rather desperate, yet for all that a patient, resolute smile.
But she was not a stickler for social proprieties; so, although she knew the invitation savored of that "rawness" of which her aunt had remarked, she was inclined to meet Lawford's family halfway. She said: "If you really want me I shall be glad to do what I can to make your affair a success. Tell your mother I will come and thank you." "So kind of you," drawled Marian.
