Swancourt, 'I felt that I wanted to say a few words to you before the morning, on the business of your visit. One's patience gets exhausted by staying a prisoner in bed all day through a sudden freak of one's enemy new to me, though for I have known very little of gout as yet. However, he's gone to my other toe in a very mild manner, and I expect he'll slink off altogether by the morning.
'See, the wind has increased her colour, the sea her appetite and spirits, and somebody her happiness. Yes, it would be a pity, certainly. ''Tis my misfortune to be always spoken to from a pedestal, sighed Elfride. 'Well, we will do as you like, Mrs. Swancourt, said Knight, 'but 'I myself would rather remain on board, interrupted the elder lady. 'And Mr.
Mrs. Swancourt was a woman of the world as to knowledge, the reverse as to action, as her marriage suggested. Elfride and the lady were soon inextricably involved in conversation, and Mr. Swancourt left them to themselves. 'And what do you find to do with yourself here? Mrs. Swancourt said, after a few remarks about the wedding. 'You ride, I know. 'Yes, I ride.
Swancourt had alighted at the same time with Elfride, crossing over to the Row for a few minutes to speak to a friend he recognized there; and his wife was thus left sole tenant of the carriage.

A complexity of instincts checked Elfride's conventional smiles of complaisance and hospitality; and, to make her still less comfortable, Mrs. Swancourt immediately afterwards left them together to seek her husband. Mr. Knight, however, did not seem at all incommoded by his feelings, and he said with light easefulness: 'So, Miss Swancourt, I have met you at last.
'Her welcome, spoke in faltering phrase. 'There is Henry Knight, I declare! said Mrs. Swancourt one day. They were gazing from the jutting angle of a wild enclosure not far from The Crags, which almost overhung the valley already described as leading up from the sea and little port of Castle Boterel.
