A week after her visit to the linhay he, while sitting alone there, had turned her picture about on the easel, withdrawn its face from the wall and studied his work. And looking, with restored critical faculty and cold blood, he loved the paint for itself and deemed it very good.
And past Gyp, a single leaf blown off, went soaring, turning over and over, going up on the rising wind, up up, higher higher into the sky, till it was lost away. The rain had drenched the long grass, and she turned back. At the gate beside the linhay, a horse was standing. It whinnied. Hotspur, saddled, bridled, with no rider! Why? Where then?
Upon the whole this pleased me much; for I do not wish to be taken always as of the common pattern: and so we smoked admirable tobacco for they would not have any of mine, though very courteous concerning it and I was beginning to understand a little of what they told me; when up came those confounded lambs, who had shown more tail than head to me, in the linhay, as I mentioned.
"I can stay for a bit of tea so long as I be back by chapel-time," explained Tom. "An' so you shall, my son. Run 'e out o' doors an' amoose yourself where you mind to; awnly don't ope the lil linhay in the Brook Croft, 'cause auld bull's fastened up theer an' his temper's gettin' more'n more out o' hand." So Tom departed, and Uncle Chirgwin read Joan's letter aloud to her.
Seven o'clock, the hour of the rehearsal, came round, and in a short time Eustacia could hear voices in the fuel-house. To dissipate in some trifling measure her abiding sense of the murkiness of human life she went to the "linhay" or lean-to-shed, which formed the root-store of their dwelling and abutted on the fuel-house.
He wants to bide and see his youngest da'rter's child, or he wants to linger and mend a thatch on the linhay his married son can't be brought to see the importance o't.... What with one thing and another, I never knowed a married man yet 'was fit to die; whereas your cheerful bachelor comes up clean as a carrot. What brings you across from Saaron to-day, Tregarthen?
Also I carried some other provisions, grieving much at their coldness: and then I went to the upper linhay, and took our new light pony-sledd, which had been made almost as much for pleasure as for business; though God only knows how our girls could have found any pleasure in bumping along so.
"Me bein' in the valley lookin' for your drowned body the while! Women 'mazes me more the wiser I graw. Come this way, to the linhay. There's a sweet bed o' dry fern in the loft, and you must keep out o' sight till mother's told cunning. I'll hit upon a way to break it to her so soon as she's rose. An' if I caan't, Phoebe will. Come along quiet.
'This linhay is not yours, I said, when they had quite aroused me, with tongue, and hand, and even sword-prick: 'what business have you here, good fellows? 'Business bad for you, said one, 'and will lead you to the gallows. 'Do you wish to know the way out again? I asked, very quietly, as being no braggadocio.
While they stood there close to the old linhay a bird came flying round them in wide circles, uttering shrill cries. It had a long beak and long, pointed wings, and seemed distressed by their presence. Little Gyp squeezed her mother's hand. "Poor bird! Isn't it a poor bird, mum?" "Yes, dear, it's a curlew I wonder what's the matter with it. Perhaps its mate is hurt." "What is its mate?"
