"Run on, Annora, and say to the Grey Lady that I will be at her cell in less than an hour. Thy feet are swifter than mine." Annora ran blithely forward. Guy of Ashridge pursued his weary road, for he was manifestly very weary. At length he rather suddenly halted, and sat down on a bank where primroses grew by the way-side. "I can go no further without resting," said he.
For God had stricken down "William Foster." The peasants going homeward at evening, when the last sunbeams slanted over the mountains and struck the ruffled surface of the river, did not hear the cry. The children, picking violets and primroses in the hedgerow by the small white house, did not hear it.
It was growing gray about the temples, but after the manner of yellow hair it seemed only to have grown paler there, and had taken on a color like that of English primroses. Her eyes were clear and untroubled; her face smooth and calm, and, as Ray said, "strong." Thea and Ray, up in the sunny cupola, were laughing and talking.
The sky remained, and in the depths of winter it seemed to be blue with summer; and so clear that I almost flattered myself that clouds were English products like primroses. An American would probably retort on my charge of scene-shifting by saying that at least he only shifted the towers and domes of the earth; and that in England it is the heavens that are shifty.
According to the pretty fashion in which our grandmothers did not hesitate to appear, and our great-aunts went forth armed for the pursuit and capture of our great-uncles, the dress was drawn up so as to mould the contour of both breasts, and in the nook between, a cairngorm brooch maintained it. Here, too, surely in a very enviable position, trembled the nosegay of primroses.
"Why?" interposed Allen, "because we are raw cockneys, who go into raptures over primroses and wild hyacinths, eh, Jessie?" "Well, you have set them up very nicely," said Jessie; "but fancy taking so much trouble about common flowers." "What would you think worth setting up?" asked Janet. "A big dahlia, I suppose, or a great red cactus?"
A moment later the tall figure of Sales himself appeared above the budding twigs. He greeted her in the somewhat sulky manner to which she was accustomed. He was a young man with a grievance, and he looked at her as though to-day it were personified in her. She answered him cheerfully: 'What a wonderful day! 'The day's all right, he said. Holding the primroses to her nose, she looked round.
And then we strolled on into the wood beyond the ash-meadow, and both of us sought for early primroses, and the fresh green crinkled leaves. She was not afraid of being alone with me after the first day. I never saw her so lovely, or so happy. I think she hardly knew why she was so happy all the time.
Where he says of the English who use colloquially phrases known to us only in great literature "There are primroses in their speech." And where he begins his "Memoirs of a Manuscript," "I was born in Indiana." Holliday conceals a high quality of literary art. Mr. Holliday was driven home from England and Police Constable Buckington by the war, which broke out while he was living in Chelsea.
"If this is our raw material to-day," she thought hopefully, "what will the finished and signed product of to-morrow be?" "Gabriella, ain't these lovely?" Whirling out of the sunshine, she saw Miss Polly holding a rustic basket of primroses and cowslips. "Mr. O'Hara wants to know if he may speak to you for a minute before you go out?" "Oh, yes, I'm not in a hurry this morning."
