She remembered the rejoicings when the horse won at Goodwood, and the ball at the Shoreham Gardens. Woodview had meant too much in her life to be forgotten; its hillside and its people were drawn out in sharp outline on her mind. Something in William's voice recalled her from her reverie, and she heard him say "The poor Gaffer, 'e never got over it; it regular broke 'im up.
No one can possibly gain a correct impression of these smaller English towns by a casual call, as it were, between trains. New Shoreham is almost certain to disappoint on first acquaintance. In fact it may be described as mean and shabby!
He built it indeed as a chapel to his Castle, and to serve it he founded there a small college of secular canons under a dean, and endowed it with the church of Beeding and many tithes, among them those of Shoreham.
Lil and Harry are going there in January. You know yourself this place isn't half respectable." Raymond had stared. "Shoreham! Why, it's a hotel. Regular hotel." "Yes," placidly.

My people were all in the seafaring line, and it was only natural that, as soon as I got old enough to stand kicking, I was put on board a coaster plying between Poole and London. It was pretty rough, but the skipper wasn't a bad kind of fellow when he was sober. I stuck to that for three years, and then the old craft was wrecked on Shoreham beach.
