"Aw, then, sir, you can see for yourself how I be, and the news be none, and the fishing be plenty." "St. Penfer harbour is not much of a place, Penelles. I was just telling Denas about London." "St. Penfer be a hard little place, but it do give us a living, sir; a honest living, thank God! Come, Denas, my dear."
"Why, my dear, I'll watch first and I'll trust after that's right enough, isn't it, Joan?" Joan sighed and smiled, and Penelles, with his pipe in his mouth, turned his face landward. Joan thought a moment and then called to him: "Father! Paul Tynton is very bad to-day. He was taken ill when the moon was three days old; men die who sicken on that day.
John Penelles was occupied on the afternoon of that Saturday which comes between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. His boat was rocking on the tide-top and he seemed to be looking at her. But his bright blue eyes saw nothing seaward; he was mentally watching the flowery winding way up the cliff to St. Penfer. If his daughter Denas was coming down it he would hear her footsteps in his heart.
"My brain will be among figures all the way to London, Miss Penelles," he said, "but I am quite sure my soul will be wandering on the shingle, and feeling the blowing winds, and hearing the plash of the waves, and singing with all its power: "'Here beginneth the sea, That ends not till the world ends." Then he went away, and Elizabeth took her embroidery and sat down with Denas.
Penelles, that you are quite right. I have felt all you say for two years, and have shielded the honour and the happiness of Denas as if she was in very deed my sister. Can you not trust her with me now?" "'Tis a great charge, miss." "I am glad to take it. I will keep it for you faithfully."
She was just tacking to reach harbour when they mingled with the crowd of men and women already there. And Ann Trewillow was calling out: "Why, it is Tris Penrose at her wheel!" Then as she came closer a man shouted: "It be the Darling Denas. It must be John Penelles' boat. To be sure it be John's boat!" This opinion was reached by an instant conviction, and every face was turned to John.
He was gay, laughing, finely dressed; he was doing his best to attract the girl who walked so proudly, so apart, and yet so happily beside him. Penelles went forward to meet them. As they approached Denas smiled, and the young man called out: "Hello, Penelles! How do you do? And what's the news? And how is the fishing? I was just bringing Denas home and hoping to see you."
And she looked and smiled at her husband with such loving admiration that the big fisherman felt the glow of the look and smile warm his heart and flush his cheeks, and he hastened to the tea-table, and was glad to be silent and enjoy the compliment his dear Joan had given him. For Joan Penelles was not only a good wife, she was a pious, truthful, sensible, patient woman.
They looked at her with wide-open eyes and then went back to the old word. Denas perceived that they heard her called Penelles in their homes, and that it was useless to take offence where none was intended. Yet the inferred wrong to her dead husband wounded her and rekindled in her heart the fire of old affection.
And you promised me you never would." "Upon my honour, Elizabeth. We met the old fisher Penelles a long way up the cliff and he took her from me. Talking of making love pray, what have you been doing? I thought you had a headache." "Roland, I am going to be married June the 11th." "Is that your engagement ring?" "It is. Mr.
