Was the mere fact of Mr. Trelyon returning to Eglosilyan next day anything to be sad about? He was not a school-boy going back to school. As for Wenna, she had got back her engaged ring, and ought to have been grateful and happy. "Come now," she said: "if you propose to drive back by the Mouse Hole, we must waste no more time here. Wenna, have you gone to sleep?"
I I cannot explain to you, Mr. Trelyon, and I am sure you won't ask me when I say so." He looked at her for a moment, and then he said, gently and yet firmly, "Look here, Wenna. You think I am only a boy that may or may not be but I am going to talk reasonably to you for once. Come over to this chair by the window and sit down." She followed him in passive obedience.
"That is very kind of you, Mr. Trelyon," Wenna said and all the dreams had gone straight out of her head so soon as this was mentioned "but we can't possibly accept them. You know our scheme is to make the sewing club quite self-supporting no charity." "Oh, what stuff!" the young gentleman cried. "You know you will give all your labor and supervision for nothing: isn't that charity?
Trelyon, do go away or you will get your death of cold," Mrs. Rosewarne said. "Leave Wenna to me. See, there is a gentleman who will lend you his horse, and you will get to your hotel directly." He did not even answer her. His own face was about as pale as that of the girl before him, and hers was that of a corpse.
There was a paler blue in the sky and on the sea, and millions of yellow stars twinkled on the ripples. A faint haze had fallen over the bright green hills lying on the south of the bay. "Life looks worth having on such a day as this," Trelyon said: "doesn't it, Miss Wenna?" She certainly seemed pleased enough.
"Mabyn " she was about to say, when he guessed the meaning of her rapid look: "Mabyn is here. She is quite close by she is coming with us. My darling, won't you let me save you? This indeed is our last chance, Wenna."
Many a time he recalled afterward and always with an increasing weight at his heart how sombre seemed to him that bright October day and the picturesque opening of the coast leading in to Eglosilyan. For it was the last glimpse of Wenna Rosewarne that he was to have for many a day, and a sadder picture was never treasured up in a man's memory.
Now, you will see how the novelty of this luncheon-party in an inn will amuse her; but do you think she would care for it if she and I were here alone?" "Perhaps you never tried?" Miss Wenna said gently. "Perhaps I knew she wouldn't come. However, don't let's have a fight, Wenna: I mean to be very civil to you to-day I do, really." "I am so much obliged to you," she said meekly.
"And they are a little surprised," continued Mabyn in the same indifferent way, but watching her sister all the while, "that Mr. Trelyon has remained absent until so near the time. But I suppose he means to take Miss Penaluna with him. She lives here, doesn't she? They used to say there was a chance of a marriage there too." "Mabyn, what do you mean?" Wenna said suddenly and angrily.
At one moment she protested that it was madness of her son to think of marrying Wenna Rosewarne; at another, she would admit all that he said in praise of her, and would only implore him not to leave England; or again she would hint that she would almost herself go down to Wenna and beg her to marry him if only he gave up this wild intention of his.
