The name was got, I believe, from the fact that, in a far-off day, a ship was wrecked upon the coast at Mablethorpe, and the only person saved was the captain, who came ashore with a Bible in his hands.
Tiny seagulls, like specks of spray, wheeled above the line of surf. Their crying seemed larger than they. Far away the coast reached out, and melted into the morning, the tussocky sandhills seemed to sink to a level with the beach. Mablethorpe was tiny on their right.
Hateful as Grace Roseberry might be, her father had left her, in his last moments, with Lady Janet's full concurrence, to Lady Janet's care. But for Mercy she would have been received at Mablethorpe House as Lady Janet's companion, with a salary of one hundred pounds a year.
Resting her head on her hand as she sat at the table, she tried to trace her way through the labyrinth of the past, beginning with the day when she had met Grace Roseberry in the French cottage, and ending with the day which had brought them face to face, for the second time, in the dining-room at Mablethorpe House. The chain of events began to unroll itself in her mind clearly, link by link.
"I am ordered to say that your room is ready, sir, and that her ladyship expects you to dinner." Absorbed in the events which had followed his aunt's invitation, Julian had forgotten his engagement to stay at Mablethorpe House. Could he return, knowing his own heart as he now knew it?
I must beg you to address the telegram to 'The Reverend Julian Gray, Mablethorpe House, Kensington. He is here, and he will show it to me. No words of mine can describe what I owe to him. He has never despaired of me he has saved me from myself. God bless and reward the kindest, truest, best man I have ever known!
Lady Janet has issued invitations for one of her grand balls at Mablethorpe House; and sh e has caused the report to be circulated everywhere that the object of the festival is 'to celebrate the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Julian Gray! "I at first refused to be present. To my amazement, however, Mercy sides with my aunt.
The servants had better be warned beforehand, in case of this adventuress or madwoman, whichever she may be, attempting to make her way into the house." "It shall be done immediately," said Lady Janet. Julian answered without ringing the bell. "I am more interested than ever," he said, "now I find that Miss Roseberry herself is your guest at Mablethorpe House."
That was coming, she knew. She had to submit to it. But she would never entreat it or make friends with it. Blind, with her face shut hard and blind, she was pushed towards the door. The days passed, the weeks, the months. Sometimes, in the sunny afternoons, she seemed almost happy. "I try to think of the nice times when we went to Mablethorpe, and Robin Hood's Bay, and Shanklin," she said.
Well, the Earl promised to lay your case before the King himself, and to speak for you with good eager entreaty. And so, it may be, by next time I write, there will go good news to you, and will you then come back, dear Cousin Dick? "And now I want to tell you what I know, and what you do not know. Tom Doane had a wife in Mablethorpe. He married her when she was but sixteen a child.
