Under cover of all this, too, there was looting by the dragoons, which the officers could not prevent, try their best. There was a still worse terror, of which, fortunately, the Merediths saw nothing.
Withdrawn as the Merediths might be, the principal achievements were too important not to finally reach them, and by infinite filtration they heard of how the Waldeckers had been attacked at Springfield and put to flight, how the British had abandoned Hackensack and Newark without waiting for the assaults, and how at Elizabethtown they had been surprised and captured.
Sutcliffe had given her; a light blue row for the Thomas Hardys; a dark blue for the George Merediths; royal blue and gold for the Rudyard Kiplings. And in the narrow upright bookcase in the arm of the T facing her writing-table, Mark's books: the Homers and the Greek dramatists. Their backs had faded from puce colour to drab. Mark's books.
One afternoon late in the autumn of the following year, when a waiting stillness lay on the land and shimmering sunlight opened up the lonely spaces of woods and fields, the Reaper who comes to all men and reaps what they have sown, approached the home of the Merediths and announced his arrival to the young master of the house: he would await his pleasure.
Susan, let's run up the flag and we must phone the news to every one in the Glen." "Can we have as much sugar as we want to now?" asked Jims eagerly. It was a never-to-be-forgotten afternoon. As the news spread excited people ran about the village and dashed up to Ingleside. The Merediths came over and stayed to supper and everybody talked and nobody listened.
"That's a true word, Anne dearie, and when you come to think of all the trouble in the church those two tattling, deceitful youngsters of the last minister's made, I'm inclined to overlook a good deal in the Merediths." "When all is said and done, Mrs. Dr. dear, they are very nice children," said Susan.
But they were hatched, and in this matter everything turned out well for Valmai. The Merediths, who lived in an adjoining county, had for some time been looking out for a companion for their eldest and invalid daughter. They were delighted, therefore, when Mrs.
Her great-grandparents were among the first settlers, and the Merediths have never sold the old home." "She is a pretty little thing," George said. "And she's buried down here." "I shouldn't call it exactly buried." George, with his eyes on the peacock, smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Randy smiled and his eyes, too, were on the peacock.
Meredith begged that she might be moved out to the country for the change and the coolness and the quiet; and the doctors availed themselves of this plan as a solution of their difficulty to lessen Marguerite's consuming desire by gratifying it. So she and her mother went out to the Merediths'. The change proved beneficial.
Then Aunt Janice turned, and with a wave of her hand, disappeared into a room at the end of the long hall. Not even the excitement of anticipation could keep the Merediths awake that first night of their visit to Land's End, but after a refreshing sleep, bright and early the next morning they were awakened by the sun shining through the green blinds that shaded the old castle windows.
