It is the King's folk who are to blame, the King's folk who want to oppress the people with unjust taxes, that they may live in greater grandeur." Mr. Merridew stared in silent astonishment at this unexpected outburst. Then, in a severer tone than his niece had ever heard from his lips, he said,
A hand stole into hers, and Sabine's voice whispered: "Don't mind. I don't care for them either." It was wonderfully comforting. Pennie gulped down her tears and tried to smile her thanks, and just then general attention was turned another way. Some one asked Dr Merridew if he were going to the Institute that evening.
Some indeterminate chat went on until Gwen said suddenly: "Now I want to talk about what I came here for." "Go it!" said Adrian. "I want to know all about what 'Re said to Dr. Merridew in her letter.... Well, what's the matter?" Amazement on Irene's fact had caused this. "And that man calls himself an F.R.C.S.!" said she. Adrian, uninformed, naturally asked why not.
"Father goes to see all the people in Easney," said Nancy, "so why shouldn't Dr Merridew go to see Kettles?" "I don't know why he shouldn't," said Pennie, "but I'm quite sure he doesn't. At any rate I'm not going to ask him anything. I hope I sha'n't see him at all. Oh, why should people learn dancing? What good can it be?"
He succeeded in saying with a sufficient infusion of the correct bounce: "My dear Lady Gwendolen, indeed you are distressing yourself about me altogether beyond anything that this unlucky mishap warrants. In a case of this sort we must submit to be guided by medical opinion; and nothing that either Sir Coupland Merridew or Dr.
Pennie often wondered what Dr Merridew would say if he found him there, but just now she had no room for such fancies; she only felt sure of the Griffin's sympathy, and said to herself as she nodded to him: "When I see you again I shall be glad, because it will be over, and I shall be going home to tea." Another moment and they had arrived at the deanery.
Beach felt that he might safely withdraw from the dining-room and leave Lord Emsworth and his guests to the care of Merridew, the under-butler, and James and Alfred, the footmen, returning only for a few minutes to lend tone and distinction to the distribution of cigars and liqueurs those whose rank entitled them to do so made their way to the housekeeper's room, to pass in desultory conversation the interval before Mr.
Ephraim Merridew, Sibyl's father, was a rebel at heart, though in far-away Barbadoes, where he was at that time engaged in business, he could not serve the rebel cause in person, as he would gladly have done. But he left behind him a son who, in full sympathy with his father's views, ranged himself boldly on the rebel side, as part and parcel of the American army.
She was a rigidly truthful child, and she knew there could be only one answer to this question. Miss Unity had told her that the Merridew girls were very much interested, whereas she knew she was not interested at all. Deeply humiliated, and flushing scarlet, she replied in a very small voice, "No." The dean raised his eyebrows. "Dear me, dear me!" he said, pretending to be shocked.
The dreary months, as I am content that in their second phase especially they should be called, are subject, I repeat, to the perversion, quite perhaps to the obscuration, of my temporarily hindered health which should keep me from being too sure of these small proportions of experience I was to look back afterwards as over so grey a desert; through which, none the less, there flush as sharp little certainties, not to be disallowed, such matters as the general romance of Merridew, the English Librarian, before mentioned, at the mouth of the Port; a connection that thrusts itself upon me now as after all the truest centre of my perceptions waylaying my steps at the time, as I came and went, more than any other object or impression.
