As driving along her sheep with a song, Down from the hills came she. It was the same voice that I heard singing the same song on Raxton Sands. It was the same voice that I heard singing the same song in the London streets Winnie's! And then there appeared in the eastern cleft of the gorge on the other side of the llyn, illuminated as by a rosy steam, Winnie!
As I hurried towards the Great Eastern Railway station, I felt like a horse drawn by a Gypsy whisperer to do something against his own will, and yet in the street I stopped to buy the tools. Reaching Dullingham in the afternoon, I lunched there; and as I walked thence along the cliff, towards Raxton, I became more calm and collected.
Sinfi's transmitted paroxysms have gradually become less acute and less frequent, and Miss Wynne has been constantly with her and ministering to her; the affection between them seems to have been of long standing, and very great. I found that Miss Wynne remembered all her past life down to her first seizure on Raxton sands, while everything that had since passed was a blank.
I should have preferred waiting for a day or two before relating all I have to tell," he said, "in answer to what you ask, but as you insist upon having it now," with a playful kind of smile, "it would be ill-bred for me to insist that you must wait. But before I begin, would it not be better if you were to tell me something of what occurred to yourself when you were taken ill at Raxton?"
Snowdon had vanished; the brilliant morning sun had vanished. The moon was shining on a cottage near Raxton Church, and at the door two lovers were standing, wet with the sea-water with the sea-water through which they had just waded. All the misery that had followed was wiped out of my brain. It had not even the cobweb consistence of a dream.
However, the fact of the navvies being at work so close to a church whose chancel belonged to my family afforded an excellent motive for my visit. But before I could introduce the subject to Mrs. Shales, I had to listen to an exhaustive chronicle of Raxton and Graylingham doings since I had left.
My recollection of Winnie's words on the night of the landslip came upon me with such overmastering power that the noise of the cataract seemed changed to the sound of billows tumbling on Raxton sands, and the 'wail' of Sir John Wynn seemed changed to that shriek from Raxton cliff which appalled Winnie as it appalled me.
'You know nothing about the Prince of the Mist except what I told you on Raxton sands, she said. 'But you have been very ill; you will be well now. 'Yes, I said; 'I have found the life I had lost, and these dreams of mine will soon pass. As the conversation went on I began to see that she remembered our meetings on the sands remembered everything up to a certain point. What was that point?
Then her deep love overpowered her quite, and she said, her eyes suffused with tears, 'Henry, you can't think how I love you. I'm sure I couldn't live even in heaven without you. Then came the shadow of a lich-owl, as it whisked past us towards the apple-trees. 'Why, you'd be obliged to live without me, Winifred, if I were still at Raxton. 'No, said she, 'I'm quite sure I couldn't.
