They really have not have not accommodation for Julia; it is not, of course, that they don't want her they have not exactly room for her." "But surely they want to know where she is?" Rawson-Clew persisted. "No, they don't," Johnny told him. "They know she is all right; she told them so, and told them she did not want to be found.
Not that Mijnheer Joost talks to me when I am there, or would talk to her if I were not; she just mistrusts every unmarried female by instinct." "A girl's instinct in such matters is not always wrong," Rawson-Clew observed. But if he thought Julia had any mischievous propensities of that sort he was mistaken.
You will never do in that walk of life; I don't mean to insinuate that you haven't brains enough, or that you would ever lose your head; it isn't that you would lose, it's your heart." "I haven't;" Julia cried hotly. "I have not lost my heart; that has nothing to do with it." "I did not say that you had," Rawson-Clew reminded her; "of course not, you have not lost it, and could not easily.
"Thanks so much for cutting them," said the girl with the carnations, smelling them before she fastened them on again. "I really think they are my favourite flower; the scent is so delicious quite the nicest flower of all, don't you think so?" "I'm not sure," Rawson-Clew said thoughtfully, and when he spoke thoughtfully he drawled very much, "I'm not sure I don't sometimes prefer wild thyme."
The unglazed window was large and rather high up, but Rawson-Clew was a man of fair height; he was also usually considered an honourable one, but when he heard the voice, saying something which was plainly only meant for the hearing of Omnipotence, he did not go away. He put his hands on the flintwork of the window-sill and in a moment found himself in the twilight of the unceiled kitchen.
It was the same one that they had seen more than an hour and a half ago; Rawson-Clew recognised it by a peculiar warty growth where the branches forked; they had now approached it from the other side, but clearly it was the same one, and they had come round in a circle. He stopped and pointed it out to her.
I suppose he does some one must." "No," Johnny said. "No; I'm afraid not. Certainly her father does not, nor her mother none of us know; but, as you say, somebody must know the people she is with, for instance." Rawson-Clew grew a little impatient. "Do you mean," he said, "that her family are content to know nothing of her whereabouts? Have they taken no steps to find her?"
There are no windows at the back; and as to the door like you, it was that which I tried, with the result that recently yesterday, in fact I was metaphorically shown out." Julia had learnt enough by this time, though she had not been told for certain, that her first suspicions were right; to be sure, it was the explosive which took Rawson-Clew to the little village evening after evening.
So she kept on that side, which, being, interpreted meant leaving Rawson-Clew's information much where it was before. She wrote very nicely, somewhat involved, not at all baldly; but reduced to plain terms her letter came to this she was not going to tell Julia's address or anything about her. So Rawson-Clew read it, and very angry he was.
Rawson-Clew tried, with much gravity, but she laughed till the taciturn old woman looked out of window, and wondered who they were, and how they came to be here. When the meal was done, they went back again up the steep slope, and then away on the left. The country on this side was less open, and more hilly, deeper hollows and larger woods, still there was not much difficulty in finding the way.
