Accordingly, as soon as the Meryons could arrange their affairs, they embarked at Marseilles, landing at Beyrout on July 1, 1837. Here the doctor received a letter from Lady Hester, recommending him to leave his family at Beyrout till he could find a house for them at Sayda.
And on Haramoukh, as you know it is believed, the gods dwell. There was a man here who tried this enchantment. He was a changed man for ever after, wandering and muttering to himself and avoiding all human intercourse as far as he could. He was no Kashmiri A Jat from the Punjab, and they showed him to me when I was here with the Meryons, and told me he would speak to none.
"What a place you have found. Why, it's like the deep heart of a wood!" "Yes, I saw it once when I was here with the Meryons. But we lay at the Bund then just under the Club. This is better. Did you like the ride up?" I threw myself on the grass beside her with a feeling of perfect rest. "It was like a new heaven and a new earth. What a country!"
She was therefore secretly much annoyed when the Meryons presumed to hang up bells in their new home. She made no sign of displeasure, but one morning it was discovered that the ropes had been cut and the bells carried off. Cross-examination of the servants elicited the fact that one of Lady Hester's emissaries had arrived late at night, wrenched off the bells, and taken them away.
Some weeks later the Lady of Joon confessed that she had instigated the act, and declared that if the Meryons' bells had hung much longer her own would not have been attended to.
Yet I knew that in her solitary life our talks counted for a pleasure, and when we met again I thought I saw a new softness in the lovely hazel deeps of her eyes. On the day when things became clear to me, I was walking towards the Meryons' gates when I met her coming alone along the sunset road, in the late gold of the afternoon.
