In all I have done I have been guided by your advice, and therefore to you remains all the credit, coupled with the life-long devotion of your little friend. Well, we slept on board the yacht, and the morning brought its revelations. Mrs. Tenterden was not present at breakfast, and came on deck very late. And only imagine, my dear, how she had changed.
"Oh no!" put in Mrs. Tenterden, a large and very positive person. "She is a Dane like the Princess of Wales. I have seen her. I recognized the cast of features at once." An outcry from three ladies followed. They knew Mrs. Quarrier was English. They had seen her skating at Bale Water. One of them had heard her speak it was pure English. "I thought every one knew," returned Mrs.
Vivian tells me that she is very good-looking. From the Same to the Same. YACHT "MARIE," SOUTHAMPTON. July 22nd, 1901. Dearest Amy, We are still here. Mrs. Tenterden, the lady I spoke about in my last letter, arrived here on Thursday. I hate her! I hate her!! I hate her!!!
The charming woman-of-the-world manner had entirely disappeared, and, later on, when we descended to the cabin, at luncheon time, Mrs. Tenterden cast furtive and certainly not reassuring glances at the little mirror hanging there.
Montague Mount to Mrs. Tenterden. 170A, EBURY STREET, 24th July 1901. I was much interested in your letter. Needless to say that I wish you the success that you are sure to attain. One word of advice. If I were you, while you are at Southampton, I should manage to be a good deal more at the hotel than you appear to be.
The origin of the late Lord Tenterden was perhaps the humblest of all, nor was he ashamed of it; for he felt that the industry, study, and application, by means of which he achieved his eminent position, were entirely due to himself.
Long before the lights of the "White Lion" had vanished behind them, the guard blows a sudden fanfare on the horn, such a blast as goes echoing merrily far and wide, and brings folk running to open doors and lighted windows to catch a glimpse of the London Mail ere it vanishes into the night; and so, almost while the cheery notes ring upon the air, Tenterden is behind them, and they are bowling along the highway into the open country beyond.
She was buried in Tenterden churchyard, and Squire Broom, as he had promised, took charge of all her affairs.
But, as Captain Montagu Burrows, R.N., mentions in his most interesting book on the Cinque Ports, Tenterden Steeple was not built till 1462, and 'was not in the popular adage connected with the Goodwin Sands, but with Sandwich Haven. It ran thus Of many people it hath been sayed That Tenterden steeple Sandwich haven hath decayed.
Hither so late as 1509 the Rother was navigable, and we find Archbishop Warham on the petition of the people licensing a small chapel there of St John Baptist still in existence, for the use of the inhabitants and as a sanctuary or a graveyard for the burial of those wrecked on the "sea-shore" infra predictum oppidum de Smallhyth. Now in this lies all the greatness of Tenterden.
