He did not present himself, but when Wych Hazel had followed Kitty Fisher out of the side door, before which Stuart's equipage stood ready, she heard a very low voice at her side, which low as it was she knew very well. 'Miss Hazel, your carriage is at the other door. But Kitty Fisher saw, if she did not hear. 'No room for you, she said. 'Much as ever to get me in.
'Will you substitute another word? said he, looking for it in the orbs so revealed. Wych Hazel turned off. 'Will you come to luncheon, sir? she said; so exactly as if she were speaking to Mr. Falkirk, that Mrs. Bywank looked up in mute amazement. But lunch was not to have much attention, nevertheless. Dingee began a raid on the housekeeper's room. It was: 'Mas' Nightingale, Missee Hazel.
So Thomas Paycocke's days drew to a close amid the peace and beauty of the most English of counties, 'fatt, frutefull and full of profitable thinges, whose little rolling hills, wych elms, and huge clouded skies Constable loved to paint.
Dell looked at her with all his eyes as he remarked, 'Not to fly away from the poor and needy as many of Mr. Morton's angels do. 'Do they? said Wych Hazel, 'where do they fly to? Mr. Morton, what becomes of your angels? 'My angels, said Mr. Morton with some emphasis on the pronoun, 'would never be in the majority.
That girl, who has played coy all summer, and wouldn't ride with a man here because she must have her own horse, forsooth; suddenly waives her scruples in favour of another man, and finds she can ride his horse, without difficulty. Wych Hazel drew up her graceful figure to its full height, but she said not a word. Riding at ease, as usual, Rollo spoke in a voice as clear as it was cold.
So Wych Hazel sat down to wait, amusing herself with thoughts of the sensation on the cliff, and wondering what sort of scaling ladders could be improvised in a hurry. They would be sure to come after her presently. Some one would find her. And it was a lovely place to wait.
Wych Hazel's cheeks rivalled the strawberries for about a minute, but whether from stirred vanity or vexation it was hard to tell. 'Mr. Falkirk! she cried, 'are all the rest of the staff coming? Here is the Commissary is the Quarter-master behind, in the bushes? 'I have no doubt we shall find him, said Mr. Falkirk, dryly. 'How did you get into this bird's nest, child?
'You know, said Wych Hazel, with a shy blush, as if it were a sort of freedom for her to know and speak it, 'they call you, "Dane Rollo." 'That's not my name, though, said he, smiling. 'I am no further a Dane than being born in Copenhagen makes me so. I am half Norse, and a quarter German; Denmark has given me a nickname, that's all.
'Very likely, said Kitty, 'seeing it's a muddled-up thing. Never did it yourself, I suppose? 'That depends upon what "it" is, insisted Rollo. 'Does it? said Kitty. 'Well, if ever you try it with me, you'll burn your fingers and find out. Again in spite of everything Wych Hazel laughed, ever so softly, but undeniably.
He stayed with the young people after tea, instead of going to his study; and the evening was full of grave interest, which also no one wished less grave. He talked much, sometimes with Wych Hazel, sometimes with Rollo; and Rollo was very amusing and interesting in meeting his inquiries and remarks about German universities and university life.
