Pierston really does like me. So so that Pierston was not backward at this critical juncture, despite unpleasant sensations. But it was the historic ingredient in this genealogical passion if its continuity through three generations may be so described which appealed to his perseverance at the expense of his wisdom.
She did not turn head or eye to the pair: they seemed to be in her view objects of indifference. Pierston became cold as a stone. The chill towards Nichola that the presence of the girl, sprite, witch, troll that she was brought with it came like a doom. He knew what a fool he was, as he had said. But he was powerless in the grasp of the idealizing passion.
Warm friendship, indeed, he felt for her; but whatever that might have done towards the instauration of a former dream was now hopelessly barred by the rivalry of the thing itself in the guise of a lineal successor. Pierston had been about to leave, but he sat down again on being asked if he would stay and have a cup of tea.
A heavy wagon passing without drowned her small soft voice for him; but the audience were pleased, and she blushed at their applause. He now took his station at the door, and when the people had done pouring out he found her within awaiting him. They climbed homeward slowly by the Old Road, Pierston dragging himself up the steep by the wayside hand-rail and pulling Avice after him upon his arm.
Pierston paused, and drank from his glass, as he lived for a brief moment in the scene he had conjured up. Somers reserved his comments, and Jocelyn continued 'That afternoon I idled about the streets, looking for her in vain. When I next saw one of the boys who had been with me at her first passing I stealthily reminded him of the incident, and asked if he knew the riders. "O yes," he said.
It was Avice the Third. Jocelyn and the second Avice continued to gaze ardently at her. 'Ah! she is not coming in now; she hasn't time, murmured the mother, with some disappointment. 'Perhaps she means to run across in the evening. The tall girl, in fact, went past and on till she was out of sight. Pierston stood as in a dream.
If you happen to be in their course, under you go cut clane in two pieces, and they never lying-to to haul in your carcases, and nobody to tell the tale. Pierston turned to Avice, wanting to say much to her, yet not knowing what to say. He lamely remarked at last: 'You go back the same way, Avice? 'Yes, sir. 'Well, take care of yourself afloat. 'O yes.
'An old friendless woman like me, and you an old friendless man. 'Yes. Thank Heaven I am old at last. The curse is removed. It may be shortly stated here that after his departure for the isle Pierston never again saw his studio or its contents.
'No, I can't very well. 'Come, DEAR Avice. That's what you are, you know. There was no response. 'Well, if you won't, you won't! he continued. 'I don't want to bother you. And Pierston went away. He was stopping to look at the old-fashioned flowers under the garden walls when he heard a voice behind him. 'Mr. Pierston I wasn't angry with you.
'That's right: take courage! said he with a tender smile. 'Now, I'll dine out this evening, and leave the place for you to arrange as best you can with the help of the porter's wife downstairs. This Pierston accordingly did, and so their common residence began.
