A maid came in answer to her ring, and there at the window, under the watchful eyes of Blair and Hastings and, perhaps, Johnson she handed the note to the maid with instructions to mail it immediately. Two minutes later she saw the maid go out along the avenue to a post-box on the corner.
But the second of these disappointing replies contained the hope that they would meet at their marketings to-morrow morning, and though poor Miss Mapp was really getting very tired with these innumerable visits to the post-box, whether wet or fine, she set forth next morning with the hopes anyhow of finding out whether the Contessa had been to tea with Major Flint, or on what day she was going.... There she was, just opposite the post office, and there oh, shame! was Major Benjy on his way to the tram, in light-hearted conversation with her.
And the grave servant, who was collecting all the other letters from the post-box in the hall, returned and placed beside his master on the table a blue envelope. There were always big blue envelopes, for the sending of telegrams, on all the writing tables at Wrayth. Tristram hurriedly wrote out another and handed it, and the servant finally left the room.
There is a sealskin jacket, which cost at least eighty pounds, and such coral ornaments you know, that lovely pink shade. Send me all you can, precious mamsie, and make your Baby happy. "Your own little ROSE. "P. S. Oh, mamsie, such a sealskin! and such coral!" This artless epistle was quickly enclosed in an envelope, addressed and deposited in the post-box.
The letter which you put into the San Michele post-box, your meeting at the Florence station, would have enlightened me if I had not obstinately retained my illusions and disdained evidence. "I did not know; I wished to remain ignorant.
As she turned from the post-box, she found herself face to face with whom but Leon Carrington? "Ah, an unexpected pleasure, Miss Hall!" he said, extending his hand and warmly grasping the one she slowly held out to him. He looked searchingly into her face, with clear, questioning eyes. She dropped her lashes and drew back with a touch of the old haughtiness, murmuring something he could not hear.
But he remained sombre. He had all night meditated, labored over, and recognized his sadness. He had found reasons for suffering. His thought had brought together the hand that dropped a letter in the post-box before the bronze San Marco and the dreadful unknown who had been seen at the station. Now Jacques Dechartre gave a face and a name to the cause of his suffering.
Vanka ran to the nearest post-box, and thrust the precious letter in the slit. . . . An hour later, lulled by sweet hopes, he was sound asleep. . . . He dreamed of the stove. On the stove was sitting his grandfather, swinging his bare legs, and reading the letter to the cooks. . . . By the stove was Eel, wagging his tail.
Small grounds and large cellar, a boathouse and a houseboat, stables, a pigeon-cote, and a private post-box. Duodecimo oak dinin'-room, boudoir by Rellis. Ideal nest for a honeymoon, real thing or imitation. Might have become the real thing if owner hadn't been whisked off in time to South Africa. And a dashed good job for him.
