The time was Easter, but the weather was like a damp winter. I found there many acquaintances. Among them was a Madame de Tchiacheff, whom I had known in my boyhood at Littlehampton. Scotch by birth, she had married a well-known Russian, and her house, with its cosmopolitan company, was among the most distinguished in Florence.
"I could have married Mr Napper a month ago in fact he begged me on his knees to," bridled Miss Meakin. "Why didn't you?" "We're going to his aunt's at Littlehampton for the honeymoon, but I'm certainly not going till it's the season there." Mavis smiled. "Would you?" asked Miss Meakin. "Not if that sort of thing appealed to me."
The views in every direction are very fine and the nearer prospect proves to the observer the unrivalled position which the fortress held as guardian of one of the most important of the routes between London and the Continent by way of the Port of Littlehampton. In the distant view "The Island" is conspicuous on clear days with Chichester Cathedral spire in the middle distance.
When she got off her bed to go down to lunch she felt as if only one thing could do her good, and that was to have Val home.

She caused a telegram to be sent to him.
Martin's chapel; from the window is a magnificent view towards Littlehampton. The openings in the floor suggest the use of boiling liquid for the heads of besiegers.
Dreams, except unpleasant ones, do not often fulfill themselves, but an exception to this rule was one day made in my favor. As I was going home for my holidays from Littlehampton to Devonshire, my compartment at Eastleigh Junction was invaded by a feminine apparition, accompanied by a French poodle, which she placed on the cushion opposite to her.
At 2 p.m., being at the time rather nearer to the French than to the English coast, George tacked again, in order to close the English shore toward nightfall. At 9 p.m., being abreast of Littlehampton, and about eight miles off the shore, the Aurora went about once more, and stood over towards France, close-hauled on the starboard tack.
His back hair the only hair he had got showed a slight tendency to assume picturesque and flowing curves on the collars of his well-made coats; and, having heard from my father that I, too, was a poet, he declared himself eager to welcome me, not only as a disciple, but also as a valued friend. Mr. Philpot lived at Littlehampton, where he occupied a most capacious house.
Looking back on it all, he was mystified by the barrenness of his speech; he felt that he could say 'an awful lot of fetching things' if he had but the chance again, and the thought that he must go back to Littlehampton on the morrow, and to Oxford on the twelfth 'to that beastly exam, too without the faintest chance of first seeing her again, caused darkness to settle on his spirit even more quickly than on the evening.
This village is but a short distance from Littlehampton, which may be approached by the shore road.
