If Dan accepted Uncle Victor's offer, and if Mamma accepted his conditions. Uncle Victor left no doubt as to his conditions. He wouldn't take Dan back unless Mamma left Morfe and made a home for him in London. He wanted them all to live together at Five Elms. The discussion had lasted from a quarter-past nine till half-past ten.
"I really must apologize for coming in like this," said Eva, as she shook hands cordially with Mary Morfe. She knew Mary very well indeed. For Mary was the "librarian" of the glee and madrigal club; Mary never missed a rehearsal, though she cared no more for music than she cared for the National Debt.
But instead of waiting for it Richard Morfe and Eva Harracles deliberately turned their backs on Trafalgar Road, and hurried side by side down Beech Street. Beech Street is a short street, and ends in a nondescript unlighted waste patch of ground.
I stopped it while they were bending down looking for music. I wanted to be as sure as I could of a good excuse for me suggesting that he ought to take her home. I just wanted to get him out of the house." "But why?" asked Simon. "I must leave that to you to guess," said Mary, with a hint of tartness, but smiling. Loggerheads and Richard Morfe met in Trafalgar Road. "Good-night, Morfe."
While he was sleeping you slipped off. A shark got you. It had a face like Dr. Charles. The lunatic was running after him like mad, with a revolver. You ran like mad. Morfe Bridge. When he raised his arm you jerked it up and the revolver went off into the air. The fire was between his bed and the door. It curled and broke along the floor like surf. You waded through it.
You'll easily be able to catch the last car back from Turnhill if you start at once. I daresay I shall go to bed." And in three minutes Richard Morfe and Eva Harracles were being sped into the night by Mary Morfe. The Morfes' house was at the corner of Trafalgar Road and Beech Street. The cars stopped at that corner in their wild course towards the town and towards Turnhill. A car was just coming.
"What regiment are they?" he said. "Camerons, sir. Going to the Front." The clear, uncanny eyes of Veronica's father pursued him now. At last he had got away from it. In Rathdale, at any rate, there was peace. The hills and their pastures, and the flat river fields were at peace. And in the villages of Morfe and Renton there was peace; for as yet only a few men had gone from them.
The thick, rich trees were trying to climb the Edge, but they couldn't get higher than the netted fields. The lean, ragged firs had succeeded. No. Not quite. They stood out against the sky, adventurous mountaineers, roped together, leaning forward with the effort. "It's Mamma's fault," Roddy was saying. "Papa would have gone anywhere, but she would come to this damned Morfe." "Don't.
And he smiled and said to himself, "She's doing it for fun, pure fun." The third time he came upon her at dawn with the dew on her skirts and on her hair. She darted away at the clank of his horse's hoofs, half-savage, divinely shy. And he said to himself that time, "I'm getting on. She's aware of me all right." She had come down from Karva, and he was on his way to Morfe from Upthorne.
"And what do you do?" "Listen." Below them, across the dale, they could see the square of Morfe on its platform. "How long have you lived in that place?" "Ten years. No; eleven." "Women," he said, "are wonderful. I can't think where you come from. I knew your father, I know Dan and your mother, and Victor Olivier and your aunt " "Which aunt?" "The Unitarian lady; and I knew Mark and Rodney.
