The waters fall into a deep gorge with a roaring sound which may be heard twelve miles away, while splendid rainbows are generated in the clouds of spray that rise from the depths. When they heard that Wenna was coming down the road they left Mr. Roscorla alone: lovers like to have their meetings and partings unobserved.
Roscorla and his friend Mabyn were dropped at the inn, while Harry Trelyon drove his grandmother up and on to the Hall. "Well, Harry," the old lady said, "I am glad to be able to breathe at last: I thought you two were going to kill each other." "There is no fear of that," the young man said: "that is not the way in which this affair has to be settled.
Roscorla has arrived, won't you?" The malice of this suggestion was so apparent that the young gentleman in front could not help grinning at it: fortunately, his face could not be seen by his rival. What he thought of the whole arrangement can only be imagined. And so, as it happened, Mr.
I ought to be at a children's party at Mr. Trewhella's." This was precisely what Mr. Roscorla wanted; but he said, "You must not be shy, Wenna. However, please yourself: you need have no fear of vexing me. But I must go, for the Weekeses are old friends of mine." "They stayed at the inn two or three days in May last," said Wenna innocently. "They came here by chance, and found Mrs.
Trelyon haunted by the notion that Mr. Roscorla will suddenly come home and marry Wenna right off; and as for him out there in Jamaica, I expect he'll be in a nice state when he hears of all this. But far on ahead of all that I see such a beautiful picture!" "It is a dream of yours, Mabyn," her mother said, but there was an imaginative light in her fine eyes too.
Then she said timidly, "You are not very angry, Wenna?" "No. I am sorry I should have vexed Mr. Roscorla by my carelessness." "Wenna," the younger sister continued, even more timidly, "do you know what I've heard about rings? that when you've worn one for some time on a finger, you ought never to leave it off altogether: I think it affects the circulation, or something of that kind. Now, if Mr.
They're a deal more at home among the people they have buried than among those that are alive. I don't say that's your case, Roscorla. You're comparatively a young man yet: you've got brisk health. I don't wonder at your liking to knock about. As for you, young Trelyon, what do you mean to do?" Harry Trelyon started. "Oh," said he with some confusion, "I have no immediate plans.
Roscorla; and at that time life had seemed to her, if not brilliant and beautiful, at least grateful and peaceful. Now all the peace had gone out of it. "Oh, my darling!" Trelyon said when she advanced alone toward him for Mabyn had withdrawn "it is so good of you to come! Wenna, what has frightened you?" He had seized both her hands in his, but she took them away again.
Roscorla did not fail to draw on his partners for the sum they had mentioned: he was not short of money, but he might as well gather the first few drops of the coming shower.
There is some one else whom you know." The young lady bowed to Mrs. Trelyon; then she stared and changed color somewhat when she saw Mr. Roscorla; then she was helped up into a seat. "How do you do, Mr. Trelyon?" she said. "I am very glad to see you have come back. How do you do, Mr. Roscorla?" She shook hands with them both, but not quite in the same fashion.
