It was my good fortune, while I was in Chichester, to be tempted to explore the peninsula of Selsey, which most authorities declare to have no beauty and little interest for the traveller to-day.
As he held her hand he felt, in a sense, as if it was in some strange way, after all, a sort of triumph for him, a score that Lord Selsey had appreciated her so wonderfully. As he left the house it struck seven. What was he to do about Hyacinth?
'Of course it must be understood that you know nothing about it I mean about the quarrel, she said. 'Of course not. Not a soul, not my husband, nor Cecil, nor his wife shall ever know a word about your visit, Miss Yeo. 'That is very kind of you, Lady Selsey. I well, you know I'm devoted to Hyacinth. At first I was almost selfishly glad about this. I could have got her back.
'Then it would certainly be difficult to believe anything against her, said Lord Selsey. 'Besides, she really wants me to marry someone else. 'Who? 'She's always trying to persuade me to propose to Hyacinth Verney ... you know, that pretty girl, old Cannon's ward.... She is awfully pretty, of course, I know. 'I should like to see her, said Lord Selsey. Cecil smiled.
'She likes you, said Lord Selsey acutely. 'What makes you think that? 'Because otherwise you wouldn't be so cool about her. You're a little too frightened of being obvious, Cecil. I was like that, too. But don't give way to it. Hyacinth Verney what a charming name! ... What would old Cannon say? 'I don't think he seems particularly keen on me, said Cecil frankly. 'That's odd.

Then Bruce appeared, held out his hand cordially, and said, 'Ah, Raggett, here you are! A Musical Afternoon Lord Selsey often said he disapproved of the ordinary subdivisions of a house, and, especially as he lived alone, he did not see why one should breakfast in a breakfast-room, dine in a dining-room, draw in a drawing-room, and so on. Nevertheless, he had one special room for music.
The two young geniuses, George Ranger and Nevil Butt, had just given their rather electrifying performance, one playing the compositions of the other, and then both singing Faure together, and a small band of Green Bulgarians were now playing strenuously a symphony of Richard Strauss, when Cecil and Mrs Raymond appeared together. Lord Selsey received her as if she had been an old friend.
By this benefit the bishop gained the affections of them all, and they began more readily to hear his preaching and to hope for heavenly good, seeing that by his help they had received that good which is temporal. Now at this time King Ethelwalch gave to the most reverend prelate Wilfrid, land of eighty-seven families, which place is called Selsey, that is, the Island of the Sea-Calf.
A new Archbishop of York, Thomas, Canon of Bayeux, was appointed, and three bishops, Winchester, Selsey, and Elmham, all of these from the royal chapel. But the most important appointment of the time was that of Lanfranc, Abbot of St. Stephen's at Caen, to be Archbishop of Canterbury.
