Nobody likes him there must be some reason for that." "There is only one reason for it," Crayford rejoined. "Nobody understands Richard Wardour. I am not talking at random. Remember, I sailed from England with him in the Wanderer; and I was only transferred to the Sea-mew long after we were locked up in the ice.
"I love the birds" sings Gwalchmai "and their sweet voices in the lulling songs of the wood"; he watches at night beside the fords "among the untrodden grass" to hear the nightingale and watch the play of the sea-mew. Even patriotism takes the same picturesque form.
Now it was gone, and now it ducked up again like a sea-mew, and past skerries and capes it whizzed like a dart. Out in the fishing grounds the folks rested upon their oars and gaped. Such a boat they had never seen before. But if in the first year it was an Ottring, next year it was a broad heavy Femböring for winter fishing which made the folks open their eyes.
Free as air; free as the sea-mew with its harsh cry wheeling close at hand under a luminous sky. He also should be free soon, should float away past the gleaming islands, over a sea of pearl in a boat with an orange sail. For Fay would come to him. The one woman in the world of counterfeits would come to him, and set him free.
"For something which I may yet see; or for something which I may still hear." "Richard Wardour?" "Richard Wardour." Mrs. Crayford turned to her husband without another word. Clara's infatuation was beyond the reach of remonstrance. The boats of the Wanderer took the place at the landing-stage vacated by the boats of the Sea-mew.
But of the Upper-mark were the Horse and the Spear, and the Shield, and the Daybreak, and the Dale, and the Mountain, and the Brook, and the Weasel, and the Cloud, and the Hart. Of the Nether-mark were the Salmon, and the Lynx, and the Ling worm, the Seal, the Stone, and the Sea-mew; the Buck-goat, the Apple-tree, the Bull, the Adder, and the Crane.
"Well," said the Puny Fox, "and from out of a grave come they verily: for in that little hole lieth my father's grandsire, the great Sea-mew of the Ravagers, the father of that Sea-eagle whom thou knowest. But since thou thinkest scorn of these weapons of a dead warrior, in go the old carle's treasures again!
All was still around them, save for the gentle patter-patter of the rain on the trees of the ramparts: and from very far away the echo of laughter and music from the distant revellers. And then the cry of the sea-mew thrice repeated from just beneath the window. Blakeney and Marguerite awoke from their brief dream: once more the passionate lover gave place to the man of action.
And believe me, affectionately yours, E.B. BARRETT. I forgot to say that you surprised and pleased me at the same time by your praise of my 'Sea-mew. Love to Annie. We were glad to hear that she did not continue unwell, and that you are well again, too. I hope you have had no return of the rheumatic pain.
He began in these words: "Brother officers and men of the Wanderer and Sea-mew, it is my duty to tell you, very briefly, the reasons which have decided Captain Ebsworth and myself on dispatching an exploring party in search of help.
