She looked calmly at him. "And how about Mr. Winterborne?" she asked. "I mention it, father, not as a matter of sentiment, but as a question of keeping faith." The timber-merchant's eyes fell for a moment. "I don't know I don't know," he said. "'Tis a trying strait. Well, well; there's no hurry. We'll wait and see how he gets on."
But I do not want to be hard God knows I do not," she said, her voice fluctuating. "And perhaps as I am on the verge of freedom I am not right, after all, in thinking there is any harm in your kissing me." "Oh God!" said Winterborne within himself. His head was turned askance as he still resolutely regarded the ground.
Thus we find along the Tarrant, villages known as Tarrant Gunville, Tarrant Hinton, Tarrant Launceston, Tarrant Monkton, etc.; and along the Winterborne we find Winterborne Houghton, Winterborne Stickland, Winterborne Clenstone, etc.; and in like manner we meet with Monkton up Wimborne, Wimborne Saint Giles, and Wimborne Minster along the course of the Allen.
Grammer whispered again to Marty: "Why didn't ye go and try your luck with the rest of the maids?" "I don't believe in it," said Marty, shortly. "Why, half the parish is here the silly hussies should have kept it quiet. I see Mr. Winterborne through the leaves, just come up with Robert Creedle. Marty, we ought to act the part o' Providence sometimes.
The consummate charm of the lines seemed to Winterborne, though he divined that they were a quotation, to be somehow the result of his lost love's charms upon Fitzpiers. "You seem to be mightily in love with her, sir," he said, with a sensation of heart-sickness, and more than ever resolved not to mention Grace by name.
Charmond, with something like a start; for she had not recognized Grace at that distance. "And the man she is talking to?" "That's Mr. Winterborne." A redness stole into Marty's face as she mentioned Giles's name, which Mrs. Charmond did not fail to notice informed her of the state of the girl's heart. "Are you engaged to him?" she asked, softly. "No, ma'am," said Marty.
I was rather afraid of finding myself in Dorchester again, so tried to persuade him to go round another way, but we at last slipped through at night, and got to Winterborne, where we put up, going on next morning in the coach to Bridport.
Presently he looked across at Winterborne. "Would it startle you to hear," he said, as if he hardly had breath to utter the words, "that she who was to me what he was to you is dead also?" "Dead SHE dead?" exclaimed Grace. "Yes. Felice Charmond is where this young man is." "Never!" said Grace, vehemently.
And yet, looked at in a certain way, their lonely courses formed no detached design at all, but were part of the pattern in the great web of human doings then weaving in both hemispheres, from the White Sea to Cape Horn. The shed was reached, and she pointed out the spars. Winterborne regarded them silently, then looked at her. "Now, Marty, I believe " he said, and shook his head. "What?"
Accompanied by Winterborne, he now turned towards the door of the spar-house, when his footsteps were heard by the men as aforesaid. "Well, John, and Lot," he said, nodding as he entered. "A rimy morning." "'Tis, sir!" said Creedle, energetically; for, not having as yet been able to summon force sufficient to go away and begin work, he felt the necessity of throwing some into his speech.
