He reminded me of someone but of whom I couldn't remember. Then one afternoon it suddenly flashed upon me and for the moment I felt almost sure that I was looking at George Sarratt. Then, of course, I began to doubt again. I have tried under the advice of the specialist I spoke of all kinds of devices for getting into some kind of communication with him.
'And she knows nothing about it or seems to. 'Do you imagine that her husband hasn't told her? Hester's tone was mocking. Farrell looked up in wonder. 'Sarratt? of course he has so far as he has eyes to see it. But he has no idea how remarkable it is. 'What? His wife's beauty? Nonsense! 'How could he? It wants a trained eye, said Farrell, quite serious. 'Hush! here she comes.
Before those days in the flat, when she herself had fallen in love with Nelly, and before the disappearance of George Sarratt, she had resented Willy's absurd devotion to a little creature who, for all her beauty, seemed to Cicely merely an insignificant member of the middle classes, with a particularly impossible sister. And as to the notion that Mrs.
Seven years! preposterous! in time of war, said the wives. To which the husbands would easily reply that, in such cases as Mrs. Sarratt's, the law indeed might be 'an ass, but there were ways round it. Mrs. Sarratt might re-marry, and no one could object, or would object. Only if Sarratt did rise from the dead, the second marriage would be ipso facto null and void.
Nelly's utter collapse after five or six weeks in London, when the closest enquiries, backed by Farrell's intelligence, influence and money he had himself sent out a special agent to Geneva had failed to reveal the slightest trace of George Sarratt; her illness, pneumonia, the result of a slight chill affecting a general physical state depressed by grief and sleeplessness; her long and tedious convalescence; and that pitiful dumbness and inertia from which she had only just begun to emerge.
Sarratt laughed over them, but had not the heart to dissuade her. She grew paler every day, but was always gay and smiling so long as his eyes were on her; and his sound young sleep knew nothing of her quiet stifled weeping at those moments of the night, when the bodily and nervous forces are at their lowest, and all the future blackens.
Sarratt wanted you to paint and powder 'He wouldn't be the "George" I married? There's something in that! laughed Nelly. Then she lifted her hand to shade her eyes against the westering sun 'Isn't that Sir William coming? She pointed doubtfully to a distant figure walking along the path that skirts the western edge of the lake. Miss Martin put up her glasses. 'Certainly.
But the wave of the counter-attack temporarily successful had rushed over the same ground before the British gains had been finally consolidated, and from that fierce and confused fighting there came no further word of George Sarratt. It was supposed that in the final German retreat he had been swept up as a German prisoner.
But I keep knocking my head all day, and part of the night the very small part that I'm not asleep against the questions that everybody seems to have asked since the world began and I know that I am a fool, and go on doing it. 'George Sarratt, I think, was a simple Christian, and died like one. He seemed to like the Chaplain, which was a comfort. How much any of that means to Nelly I don't know.
A similar spire may be seen in another Down country, at Sarratt in Hertfordshire, and a modern example at Southampton. Between the north side of the tower and the nave are the remains of a chapel erected by the Peverells. The interior of the church is equally uncommon and interesting, and the distressing newness which follows most restorations is not seen here, the work of the restorer, Mr.
