Behind Mellot Wood was Mellot Farm, an old eighteenth-century house about which there was a fine tragic story with a murder and a ghost in it, and this, of course, gave Mellot Wood an additional charm. When they arrived at the outskirts of Mellot Wood Mary looked about her.
"It is a noble thought, Mellot; and all thoughts become clear in the light of it; even that most difficult thought of all, which so often torments good people, when they feel, 'I ought to love God, and yet I do not love him. Easy to love Him, if one can once think of Him as the concentration, the ideal perfection, of all which is most noble, admirable, lovely in human character!
Tardrew's wrath, of course, knew no bounds; and meeting Thurnall standing at Willis's door, with Frank and Mellot, he fell upon him open-mouthed. "Well, sir! I've a crow to pick with you." "Pick away!" quoth Tom. "What business have you meddling between his lordship and me?" "That is my concern," quoth Tom, who evidently was not disinclined to quarrel.
"A very noble romance, which I made Mellot read once, containing the ideal education of an English nobleman, in the middle of the last century." "The Fool of Quality?" said Mellot. "Of course! I thought I had heard the story before. What a well-written book it is, too, in spite of all extravagance and prolixity.
"He said certainly that he was going to find you," said Campbell. "There is no need for speculating," said Valencia quietly; "my sister has a note from Mr. Vavasour at Pen-y-gwryd." "Pen-y-gwryd?" cried both men at once. "Yes. Major Campbell, I wish to show it to you." Valencia's tone and manner was significant enough to make Claude Mellot bid them both good-night.
About midday we asked for shelter from the sun in the house of Senhor Mellot, at Zangu, and, though I was unable to sit and engage in conversation, I found, on rising from his couch, that he had at once proceeded to cook a fowl for my use; and at parting he gave me a glass of wine, which prevented the violent fit of shivering I expected that afternoon.
"Mellot turned man of science? Impossible!" "No; only photographer. I am tired of painting nature clumsily, and then seeing a sun-picture out-do all my efforts so I am turned photographer, and have made a vow against painting for three years and a day." "Why, the photographs only give you light and shade."
A boat from the yacht landed at the pier-head, not only Claude Mellot, whose beard was an object of wonder to the fishermen, but a tall three-legged box and a little black tent; which, being set upon the pier, became the scene of various mysterious operations, carried on by Claude and a sailor lad.
And this is the girl I recollect, two years ago, singing there in Cavendish Square, as innocent as a nestling thrush!" "Poor child!" said Mellot, "sold at first perhaps sold again now. The plunger has bills out, and she has ready money. I know her settlements." "She shan't do it," said the Major quietly: "I'll write to her to-night." Elsley looked at him keenly.
'Arli, dove il Rhodano stagna. And at Cette ends this little tour from Ocean to Sea, with the wish that he who next travels that way may have as glorious weather, and as agreeable a companion, as the writer of these lines had in 1864. We were riding up from Lynmouth, on a pair of ragged ponies, Claude Mellot and I, along the gorge of Watersmeet. No place in England is more worthy of one.
