As the Jason will not be ready for two months I can grant you six weeks leave.” No sooner was this matter settled than Will took the coach to Fairham. Thence he drove to the village of Porchester, where Marie’s fiancé was confined. Here he put up at a little inn.
Hugh Carnaby was assuredly not one of the men who wink at their wives' dishonour, nor one of the men who go slinking for a remedy to courts of law or she mistook him strangely. At receipt of the expected note from Porchester Terrace it said merely, 'Pray be here, if possible, at three tomorrow afternoon' she quivered with anticipation of seeing Redgrave.
Except Edward I. there is scarcely an English king from Henry II. to Henry VIII. who did not use Porchester, and Elizabeth, the last royal visitor, held her court in the Castle. As we see it to-day the keep of Porchester Castle resembles that of Rochester, not only in its appearance, though there it comes short, but in its arrangement.
"And I make it a rule never to cut the nose off my own face," said Johnny. Before they went, Johnny Eames had been specially invited to call on Lady Demolines, and had said that he would do so.

She was unwilling to say that she had dined in Porchester Terrace, for Harvey entertained something of a prejudice against that household. His remoteness nowadays from the world in which Alma amused herself made it quite safe to venture on a trifling misstatement. 'I have a note from Carnaby, said Rolfe. 'He wants to see me in town tomorrow.
They had a laugh at this, of course; and, then, on Mrs Gilmour suggesting their taking advantage of the high tide to visit Porchester Castle, as the harbour looked its best, the watermen in charge of their wherry were directed to row up stream towards the creek on the northern side, where the old fortress, embowered in trees, nestled under the shelter of the Portsdown hills, a monolith of past grandeur and present decay!
