Carnaby drove like a devil, had the lead to Southend, but, mark you, his whip was going! At Catford we were level again. At Lewisham I took the lead and kept it, and the last I saw of him he was cursing and lashing away at his cattle, like a brute. Carnaby's a devilish bad loser, I've noticed, and here I am. And oh! by the way he's got a devil of an eye, and a split lip.
Driven into a corner, but evidently rather ashamed of himself, Southend explained. "The viscounty would be more convenient if a match came about between him and the girl." "What, the new Lady Tristram? Well, George, romance has taken possession of you to-day!" "Not at all," he protested indignantly. "It's the obviously sensible way out." "Then they can do it without a viscounty."
They'll be back this evening, and I've the children to mind, with the servant girl. I'm quite respectable here, Mr Montague, and nobody need be a bit afraid about me. 'Mrs Hurtle has gone down to Southend? 'Yes, Mr Montague; she wasn't quite well, and wanted a breath of air, she said. And aunt didn't like she should go alone, as Mrs Hurtle is such a stranger.
Southend had received an incoherent but decidedly despairing letter from Mina Zabriska. He put it in the fire, saying nothing to Lady Evenswood, and nothing, of course, to Mr Disney. In the end there was perhaps no absolutely necessary connection between the two parts of the scheme that which concerned the lady, and that which depended on the Minister.
Twenty yards further on he halted once more of his own accord and fell into thought. Mina watched him till he moved on again, slowly making his way across the Mall and toward St James's Street. A great thing had happened to her she felt that; and she had news too that she was to tell to Southend and Lady Evenswood. There was considerable unsettlement in the Imp's mind that night.
"Regularized," Southend supplied with a sharp glance at Harry. "I don't understand," Harry declared. "You must tell me what you mean. Is it something that concerns Cecily as well as me?" "Oh, about that we haven't the right even to ask your feelings. That would be simply for you to consider. But if anything were to happen " "Nothing could." Harry restrained himself no longer.
We are tied down by the frightful limitation of our human faculties, by the notions which society imposes on us through our fatal suggestibility, by our own personalities. For us, a complete holiday is out of the question. Some of us struggle manfully to take one, but we never succeed, if I may be allowed to express myself metaphorically, we never succeed in getting farther than Southend."
"Three, four, or five hundred pounds, and to be subsisted by them while I write it," is what he hoped to get. Mrs. Shelley was at Southend for change of air, and wishing her father to join her; but this he could not decide on. Every day lost is taking away from his means of subsistence; for he is writing now, not for marble to be placed over his remains, but for bread to be put into his mouth.
But, Paul, at Southend it isn't a hundred miles across to the other side of the river. You must admit that. But you will be a better guide than Mrs Pipkin. You would not have taken me to Southend when I expressed a wish for the ocean; would you? Let it be Lowestoft. Is there an hotel? 'A small little place. 'Very small? uncomfortably small? But almost any place would do for me.
"Please tell your sister I'm delighted to hear she's done so well at Southend, and I hope to see her some day; but not just now. By the bye, I'm not going out this morning, so don't wait, when you've finished." By force of habit he ate and drank. Sherwood's letter lay open before him; he read it through again and again. But he could not fix his thoughts upon it.
