To spy out the land, discover why Lennan and his wife thought nothing of the word 'outside' whether, in fact, their household was respectable.... A man must always look twice at 'what-d'you-call-ems, even if they have shared his room at school!... To his credit, of course, to be so careful of his daughter, at the expense of time owed to the creation of the perfect racehorse!
"That chestnut Tabor put me on to finished nowhere couldn't get down the hill knew it wouldn't the moment I set eyes on it. But the child enjoyed herself. Wish you'd been there, my dear!" Of his deeper thoughts and of that glimpse of young Lennan he did not speak, for on the way home an ugly suspicion had attacked him.
Right down she went, full tilt, and after her went Lennan, lying back, and expecting the bay mare to come down at every stride. This was her idea of fun! She switched round at the bottom and went galloping along the foot of the hill; and he thought: Now I've got her! She could not break back up that hill, and there was no other cover for fully half a mile.
Had the young fellow, after all, seen and managed to get close to her in the crush at the paddock gateway? That letter of hers fanned the flame in Lennan as nothing had yet fanned it. Earthiness! Was it earthiness to love as he did? If so, then not for all the world would he be otherwise than earthy. In the shock of reading it, he crossed his Rubicon, and burned his boats behind him.
You come between us at your peril." Lennan kept silence for a moment, then he said quietly: "Can one come between two people who have ceased to have anything in common?" The veins in Cramier's forehead were swollen, his face and neck had grown crimson. And Lennan thought with strange elation: Now he's going to hit me!
What peculiar languorous eyes they were! "Shall I come to-morrow, then?" "Any day you like, between half-past twelve and one." "Where?" He took out a card. "Mark Lennan yes I like your name. I liked it the other day. It's awfully nice!" What was in a name that she should like him because of it?
He must have fallen then into dreamless sleep.... What time was it when he was awakened by that delicate 'rat-tat' to see his tutor standing in the door-way with a cup of tea? Was young Lennan all right? Yes, he was perfectly all right would be down directly! It was most frightfully good of Mr. Stormer to come! He really didn't want anything.
If he had not meant to give her joy, he had nevertheless given it! He came downstairs two at a time, with that air of not being a pedagogue, which she knew so well; and, taking his hat off the stand, half turned round to her. "Pleasant youth, young Lennan; hope he won't bore us out there!"
They went well together, those two Dromores his dark head and her fair head; his clear, brown, daring eyes, and her grey, languorous, mesmeric eyes. Ah! Master Oliver was happy now, with her so close to him! It was not jealousy that Lennan felt. Not quite one did not feel jealous of the young; something very deep pride, sense of proportion, who knew what prevented that.
"Those are not horns," he said gently; "only ears." Cramier lifted a hand and touched the edge of his own ear. "Not quite like that, are they human ears? But I suppose you would call this symbolic. What, if I may ask, does it represent?" All the softness in Lennan vanished. "If you can't gather that from looking, it must be a failure." "Not at all.
