It mattered little to him whom she liked now. James, however, refused to believe that there could be anything in it, regarding it as a mere passing caprice. In this view most of the village-people coincided; they considered it absurd to suppose that there could be anything serious in Mr. Brooke's devotion.
You'll know the one for to-day; I wrote it for him the day he had the headache; the text is" and there was a little moment of thought; then she said "'Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Aaron's waiting; don't keep him; good bye!" and she was closed in. I felt faint and weary, now that there was no more to be done. The village-people were awake.
"I wanted to say that I am sorry with you," I said. "Will you say it the same way again?" "How?" for this time it was I who did not comprehend. He held out his hand. I fulfilled my original intention. "I thank you," he said, and went down alone to his mother's funeral. How do people ever live through funerals? The solemn tolling of the bell went on. The village-people came, one by one.
That sweet old voice could not counteract the effect of her dress and worn satchel. The parted lips of the man in scarlet fell together, and drooped scornfully down at the corners. "There is a proper entrance for servants and village-people," said this high functionary, with his powdered head thrown back.
It was not quite dark; I could not run through the night, as I had done before; I must follow on at a respectable pace, stop to greet the village-people who were come out in the cool of the evening, and all the while keep in view that figure, hastening, for what I knew not, but on to the sands, whilst those whom I met stayed me to ask how Mary Percival died.
Looking at myself, as I began my walk, I laughed aloud. I was still carrying a lighted lamp, for the wind, like the village-people, slept at sunrise. I comforted myself by thinking of a predecessor somewhat famous for a like deed, and bent upon a like errand. The man that I searched for I should surely find, and honest, too; for it was Aaron. The parsonage was cruelly inhospitable.
No known form of cement is here, and so the simple village-people say, "It was not built by the present race of men." On the northern side of the tower leaves of ungathered snow still lay.
He thought, naturally enough, that she had heard of Florence's secret interviews with Sydney Vane so much, he was certain, even the village-people knew that in her visits to the cottages she had heard some story of this kind, and had been distressed that was all. "Do you really think so?" said Enid, clinging to him. She was only too thankful to get rid of the responsibility of judging for herself.
I closed the panelling behind me, leaving the church as it had been on the day when, I saw the little hungry mouse treading sacred places. I went down the aisle; and as I passed by the hempen rope in the vestibule that so often had set the bell a-ringing, a longing came to do it now, to tell the village-people, by voice of sacred bell, that there was a new-born worship come down from Heaven.
He dreaded to meet the village-people, to have them come staring and questioning about him, whispering and laughing among themselves, and asking one another what was the matter with the man who was engaged to the minister's daughter on this his wedding-morning. Just then he felt a gentle pulling at his heart! Presently he was in the village.
