We heard it strike on a rock below, and then fall in a shower of fragments. "My arms are all right, you see," he said. Meantime, Wynnie had scrambled down to the shore, where we had not yet been. In a few minutes, we still lingering, she came running back to us out of breath with the news: "Papa! Mr. Percivale! there's such a grand cave down there! It goes right through under the island."
It was well he was a dog of moderation, for there was great temptation to repeat the entertainment more than was wholesome for him. 'There, Wynnie, said Nuttie in a voice of monition, 'Monsieur doesn't eat all his goodies at once, he keeps them for bedtime. It might be perceived that the over-supply of sweets was a matter of anxiety to the elder sister.
There is such room everywhere! But it must be awfully windy in winter," said Wynnie, whose nature was always a little prospective, if not apprehensive. But I must not keep my reader longer upon mere family chat.
"O, papa!" cried Wynnie involuntarily, and the painter looked round. "I beg your pardon," I said. "We came over from the other side, and did not see you before. I hope we have not disturbed you much." "Not in the least," he answered courteously, and rose as he spoke.
"The good lady's kindness is long-sighted," said my husband, as he placed it on his finger. "I shall be hard up, though, before I part with this. Wynnie, I've actually got a finer diamond than Mr. Baddeley! It is a beauty, if ever there was one!" My husband, with all his carelessness of dress and adornment, has almost a passion for stones. It is delightful to hear him talk about them.
Roger, I don't need to ask Wynnie about any thing you tell me. I can take your word for it just as well as hers. I am very glad if I have been of any use to you. It is a great honor to me." "But the worst of it is, I couldn't be content without letting you know, and making myself miserable." "I don't understand you, I think. Surely there can be no harm in letting me know what makes me very happy!
I looked at the page and read the words, "How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" And I sat silent for a while. "Why don't you speak, papa?" said Harry. "I am sitting wondering at myself, Harry," I said. "Long after I was your age, Wynnie, I remember quite well that those words troubled me as they now trouble you.
But I was roused from this horror-stricken mood by a look from my husband, who, catching a glimpse of my despair, motioned me to him with a smile as of sunshine upon snow, and whispered in my ear, "I'm afraid you haven't much more faith than myself, after all, Wynnie."
Percivale and Wynnie went out for a walk. The next morning he left by the coach early. Turner went with him. Wynnie did not seem very much dejected. I thought that perhaps the prospect of meeting him again in London kept her up. I will not linger over our preparations or our leave-takings.
"You see, Wynnie," he said, with pauses, and puffs at his pipe, "I don't mean I'm a fool for falling in love with Marion. Not to have fallen in love with her would have argued me a beast. Being a man, it was impossible for me to help it, after what she's been to me. But I was worse than a fool to open my mouth on the subject to an angel like her.
