Thus, Peter Redlands, talking to a group of fishers one day, said: "Where that lad learned the sea, and who taught him all the ways of it, is beyond me; but say as you will, he can make harbor when none of us could look at it. It is my belief David Borson can stick to anything that can float."
Thus they endured, and lashed, and struggled, until eventide, and none who saw knew which was the likeliest to win; for though the Knight of the Redlands was a wily and subtle warrior, his subtlety made Sir Beaumains wilier and wiser too. So once again they rested for a little space, and took their helms off to find breath.
Did you know?" Hunt-Goring nodded to each sentence. "I know it all. I know Jim Ratcliffe, and a burly old monster he is. I know Nick of Redlands also the sedate Mrs. Nick. And, last but not least, I know Olga." He spoke mockingly; his look was derisive. "I had no idea you had been living there," said Daisy. "I was the hornet in the hive," said Hunt-Goring with his lazy laugh.
But when Sir Beaumains' helm was off, he looked up to Dame Lyones, where she leaned, gazing and weeping, from her window. And when he saw the sweetness of her smiling, all his heart was light and joyful, and starting up, he bade the Knight of the Redlands make ready. Then did they lace their helms and fight together yet afresh, as though they had never fought before.
"I can't stay with you, Jimmy," he said at last. "I'll spend to-night of course with all the pleasure in the world. But I'm going back to Redlands to-morrow. I have a fancy for sleeping in my own crib just now. Come over and see me as often as you feel inclined, the oftener the better.
So they rested that night; and on the morrow, the damsel and Sir Beaumains rose, and heard mass. And when they had broken their fast, they took their leave of Sir Perseant. "Fair damsel," said he "whither lead ye this knight?" "Sir," answered she, "to the Castle Dangerous, where my sister is besieged by the Knight of the Redlands."
"Nick darling, do you remember how I came and kept house for you years ago, at Redlands, when I was a child?" "Rather!" said Nick. "Bully, wasn't it?" She hesitated a little. "Nick, I'm going to make a perfectly awful suggestion." "Don't mind me!" said Nick. She laughed faintly. "I don't, dear, formidable as you can be.
It was on that same afternoon that Olga found herself wandering along the tiny glen in the Redlands grounds that had been her favourite resort in childhood. It was only two days since she had left town, urged thereto by Dr. Jim who insisted that she had been there too long already.
Rubidoux's one of those yellow desert mountains, the biggest of the lot, with a view of Riverside, and miles of orange groves like a big garden at its foot. We'd sit up there awhile, and I'd tell you a story of General Fremont, when he passed in the grand old days. Then we'd spin on to Redlands, and see the park and the millionaires' houses " "I like the lovers' bungalows best." "Do you?
"It's nice of you not to set it down to advancing years," said Nick. "Muriel does." "Muriel? Have you seen her lately?" "This morning," said Nick. "Oh?" There was surprised interrogation in Olga's voice. "Where is she, then?" "At Redlands," said Nick; then, seeing her puzzled look: "We're married, you know, sweetheart." "Oh?" she said again. "I didn't know." "It's some time ago now," said Nick.
