The third side of the meadow round which he had raced was an unfinished road, and was a way, though not the usual way, back to Perran. "Good morning, Miss Shipton. Are you going home?" "Yes! I suppose you are going to your house." "Yes," and Robert walked slowly back along the way he had come, Miss Shipton accompanying him, for it was the way home.
Perranuthnoe, a little beyond the modern Acton Castle, whose situation is of great beauty, is locally known simply as Perran; the second half of its name seems to point to an earlier saint than Piran. Perhaps there was a St. Uthnoe whose name survives also at Sithney. The fourteenth-century church is very interesting, with a granite figure of St.
Hers was evidently a kind of religion which I had not met with before, and did not care to meet with again. The next day I went for a few hours' rest and change to the sea-side at Perran, but there was a burden of prayer on my soul. I could not thank God for that unknown lady, but I could pray for mercy for her. The impression on my mind was very clear: I felt that she was not saved.
Susan was reputed to be one of the beauties of Perran, although opinion was divided. She had what were not common in Cornwall light flaxen hair, blue eyes, and a rosy face, somewhat inclined to be plump. The Shiptons lay completely outside Michael's circle.
Paul would have sanctioned it, and he sternly forbade Eliza the use of one of the bathing-machines which had lately been introduced into Perran for the benefit of the few visitors who had discovered its charms. It was a summer's morning in June, and Robert had gone along the shore on business to a house which was being built a little way out of the town.
This she tried to do, but her strength began to fail the drift was too much for her. Meanwhile Robert went after her. He was one of the best swimmers in Perran, but when he felt the cooler, deeper water, he was suddenly seized with a kind of fainting and a mist passed over his eyes. He looked at the land, and he was in a moment convinced he should never set foot on it again.
It was evident that God would not trust that mother with a daughter whose soul she was determined to injure. He took His child away to Himself. The open-air preaching at Perran led to many similar services there, and at other places. I will tell of two only, to prevent sameness, and for fear of tiring the reader.
What Eliza said, although it was right and proper, never interested the father; but when Robert spoke, Michael invariably looked at him, and often reflected upon his words for hours. There was in the town of Perran a girl named Susan Shipton. Michael knew very little of the family, save that her father was a draper and went to church.
It stands high, overlooking the sand-wastes of Holywell and Perran Bays, and its church serves the purpose of a landmark in this somewhat trackless district. It is Early English in character, with later additions, such as the Decorated woodwork about its roof; the graceful tower has an octagonal upper stage and low spire, with three bells in the belfry.
