A chancel has lately been added, while below are the ivy-clad ruins of the ancient Woolverton Chapel. Near Niton, at Puckaster Cove, Charles II. landed after a terrific storm; and beyond is Roche End, the southern point of the island. The coast, a dangerous one, then trends to the north-west, and wrecks there are frequent, while inland St.
"Not much to thank for, according to you!" observed Lady Niton, grimly. "Oh, well, he's in!" Lady Lucy drew a long breath. "But people have behaved so extraordinarily! That man that clergyman at Beechcote Mr. Lavery. He's been working night and day against Oliver. Really, I think parsons ought to leave politics alone." "Lavery?" said Bobbie. "I thought he was a Radical.
"What's the matter? Can't the young people make up their minds? Do they want Lucy to make them up for them?" Alicia looked at her companion a little under her brows, and did not reply. Lady Niton was so piqued by the girl's expression that she immediately threw herself on the mystery she divined tearing and scratching at it, like a dog in a rabbit-hole.
Diana made her choice, and the young man supplied her; then bristling with victory, and surrounded by samples of whatever food the breakfast-table afforded, he sat down to his own meal. "No!" he said, with energy, addressing Diana. "One must really draw the line. The last Sunday Lady Niton took me to church, the service lasted an hour and three-quarters.
They returned hurriedly. "Who made Oliver that waistcoat?" said Lady Niton, putting on her spectacles. "I did," said Alicia Drake, as she came up, with her arm round the younger of Lady Niton's nieces. "Isn't it becoming?" "Hum!" said Lady Niton, in a gruff tone, "young ladies can always find new ways of wasting their time." Marsham approached Diana. "We're just off," he said, smiling.
For Lady Niton was keeping a greedy conversational hold on both Marsham and the young man, pouncing to right or left, as either showed a disposition to escape from it so that Forbes was violently withheld from Alicia Drake, his rightful lady, and Marsham could engage in no consecutive conversation with Diana. "No escape for you!" smiled Mr. Frobisher, presently, observing the position.
Diana had the disagreeable feeling of being looked through and through, physically and mentally; though at the same time she was only very vaguely conscious as to what there might be either for Lady Niton or Miss Drake to see. "Thank you very much," she said, trying to laugh it off. "It is very kind of you to warn me but really I don't think you need." She looked round her waveringly.
"It was the unkindness the ill-feeling I minded," said Lady Lucy, in a low voice, leaning heavily upon her stick, and looking straight before her as though she inwardly recalled some of the incidents of the election. "I never knew anything like it before." Lady Niton lifted her eyebrows not finding a suitable response.
She turned the conversation. With Oliver Marsham she talked when she could, as Lady Niton allowed her. She succeeded, at least, in learning something more of her right-hand neighbor and of Miss Vincent. Mr. Frobisher, it appeared, was a Fellow of Magdalen, and was at present lodging in Limehouse, near the docks, studying poverty and Trade-unionism, and living upon a pound a week.
His conscience pricked him for the mean and unmanly dependence which had given the capricious and masterful little woman so much to say in his affairs. He must really find fresh work, pay his debts, those to Lady Niton first and foremost, and marry the girl who would make a decent fellow of him. But his heart smote him about his queer old Fairy Blackstick.
