"Look here," said Lord Ramelton, "if I give you my word that there are no arms or ammunition in that case, if I write a statement to that effect and sign it, will it satisfy you?" "No, sir," said Willie. "Nothing will satisfy me except seeing for myself." Such is the devotion to duty of the young British officer. Against his spirit the rage of the empire's enemies breaks in vain.
"Ethne, where do you think I heard that overture last played?" Ethne was roused with a start to the consciousness that Durrance was in the room, and she answered like one shaken suddenly out of sleep. "Why, you told me. At Ramelton, when you first came to Lennon House." "I have heard it since, though it was not played by you. It was not really played at all.
"Of course, when you say so it's all right, Ramelton. But would you mind telling me why you want to go driving about the country with two or three hundredweight of sugar in your ear?" "It's not my sugar at all," said Lord Ramelton. "It's my wife's. You know the way we're rationed for sugar now half a pound a head and the servants eat all of it.
When you gave me that fourth feather in the little room at Ramelton, with the music coming faintly through the door, I understood your meaning. There was to be a complete, an irrevocable end. We were not to be the merest acquaintances. So I said nothing to you of the plan which came clear and definite into my mind at the very time when you gave me the feathers.
They are, therefore, very averse to go to law to obtain what they consider justice from a landlord. Another great complaint that I hear again and again is the expense attendant on a transfer of property. As an instance, a little property of the value of a hundred pounds changed hands when I was in Ramelton. The deed of transfer was a parchment as big as a table-cloth, and cost L10.
"I wonder whether you have forgotten our drive from Ramelton to our house when I came to fetch you from the quay? We were alone in the dog-cart, and we spoke " "Of the friends whom one knows for friends the first moment, and whom one seems to recognise even though one has never seen them before," interrupted Feversham. "Indeed I remember."
To make excursions to a short distance from this pretty town of Ramelton and to return again has been my occupation for the last week. It was arranged that on Monday, March 21st, I was to go with some kind friends to see life up among the mountains of Donegal, but down came another storm. Snow, hail, sleet, rain, hail, sleet and rain again.
The General left his car and stepped across the road. He recognised Lord Ramelton at once and greeted him with cheery playfulness. "Hallo!" he said, "Held up! I never expected you to be caught smuggling arms about the country." "I wish you'd tell this boy to let me drive on," said Lord Ramelton. "I'm getting wet through." The General turned to Willie Thornton. "What's the matter?" he said.
I mistook the cause of it, that's evident. I was a fool. But there must have been a cause. The gift of laughter had been restored to her. Her gravity, her air of calculation, had vanished. She became just what she was five years ago." "Exactly," Mrs. Adair answered. "Just what she was before Mr. Feversham disappeared from Ramelton. You are so quick, Colonel Durrance. Ethne had good news of Mr.
I walked slowly into the house, determined to escape from the hills while I had the means left of escaping. I have returned to pleasant Ramelton, and will write my visit to Glenveigh Castle from here. This town will always be a place of remembrance to me on account of the Christian kindness, sympathy, encouragement and counsel which I have received in it.
