Cecil couldn't think of anything better by way of introducing the trouble than the vaguely pessimistic statement that everything was rather rotten. 'You don't gamble, you're not even very hard up.... It's a woman, of course, said Lord Selsey, 'and you want to marry, I suppose, or you wouldn't come to me about it.... Who is she? Cecil gave a rough yet iridescent sketch of Mrs Raymond.
Pleasant bungalows, of a more solid type than usual, are springing up everywhere between the railway and the Bill, though here we may still stand on the blunt-nosed end of Sussex and watch the sun rise or set in the sea. It would be interesting to know if the quality of the buildings erected will enable them to last until the sea eventually disposes of Selsey.
She cried more, with her face buried in a cushion. He kissed the top of her head pityingly, as if in absence of mind. He remembered it was the first time for eight years. Then he got up and looked out of the window. 'Cecil can't be such a blackguard. He's a very good fellow. Who is this new friend that you're making yourself miserable about? 'It isn't a new friend; it's Lady Selsey.
Hence the dreary failure of these exhibitions. Lord Selsey was present, very suave and cultivated, and critical, and delighted to see his desire realised. Mrs Raymond was not there. Edith looked very pretty, but rather tired. Bruce had driven her nearly mad with his preparations. He had evidently thought that he would be the observed of all observers and the cynosure of every eye.
Richard de la Wych, Bishop but now definitely accepted as that of Bishop Stratford . This tomb, with several others, was barbarously "restored" in the last century; near it may be seen the modern brass in memory of Dean Burgon . The pictures on the west wall are by Bernhardi and represent Ceadwalla giving Selsey to St. Wilfrid and the confirmation made by Henry VIII to Bishop Sherborne.
Then when in 1075 the See was removed from Selsey to Chichester the old church dedicated in honour of St Peter, which stood upon the site of the present cathedral, was used as the cathedral church, and the Benedictine nuns, to whom it then belonged were dispossessed in favour of the canons.
That gap is held by Arundel; the Castle at Amberley was a palace of the Bishop of Chichester, granted to the Bishop of Selsey long before the Conquest; it was only castellated in the fourteenth century. It is none the less an interesting ruin, very picturesque, with remains of a chapel, while the beautiful house built within the castle walls early in the sixteenth century is altogether lovely.
How can a married man, in your father's place, a hundred years older than you, be jealous? 'It is wonderful, isn't it? she said. 'But you must know something about him. You know everyone. 'He's Lord Selsey's nephew and his heir if Selsey doesn't marry again. He's only a young man about town the sort of good-looking ass that your sex admires. 'Charles, what a brute you are! He's very clever.
At a glance he saw by Cecil's excessive quietness that the boy, as he called him, was perturbed, so he talked about the coins for some minutes. Cecil made little attempt to conceal that fact that Things bored him. 'Well, what is it? said Lord Selsey abruptly.
Proceeding by the left-hand or north aisle we see first, close to the north door, the chapel of the Baptist, which contains an unknown tomb and an ancient chest reputed to be over a thousand years old and to have been brought from Selsey. Following come the Collins tomb and the Arundel chantry containing the altar-tomb of Richard Fitz-Alan and his countess.
