But in the summer holidays came Warington fresh from the sea, with abounding energy and indomitable will, and recreation then was of a sterner kind.
It was a fine sight to see the healthy younkers, with trousers rolled over the knee, ankles well under slate-coloured oozing mud, scrubbing away at the bottom of the ship, and laughing and singing among themselves, while the reflective Warington, pipe in mouth, looked on and encouraged the toilers.
Had she any idea of the sort of fold towards which Warington at once Covenanter and man of the world was carrying his lost sheep? The sheep, however, was still gambolling at large. Occasionally a guest appeared who proved it.
But he was caught in many congratulations by the road, and presently he saw that his friend Darrell was being introduced to her by the old habitué of the house, Colonel Warington, who generally divided with the hostess the "lead" of these social evenings. Lady Kitty nodded carelessly to Mr. Darrell, and he sat down beside her. "That's a cool hand for a girl of eighteen!" thought Ashe.
You'd never have found a dog of St. Hubert condescending to bedroom slippers! But as I had to have a dog and Colonel Warington gave me this one three days ago and he has already ruined half maman's things, and no one could manage him but me, I just had to bring him, and trust to Providence." "I have been here a good many times," said Ashe, "and I never yet saw a dog in the sanctuary.
His reasons can only be guessed at. Warington was a man of religion, a Calvinist by education and inheritance, and of a silent and dreamy temperament. He had been intimate with very few women in his life. His sister had been a second mother to him, and both of them had been the guardians of their younger brother.
