Paul speaks, you will be able to recall any sunset you have ever seen with an intensity proportioned to the degree of regard and attention you gave it when it was present to you. But here comes Wynnie to see how you are. I've been making some tea for you, Wynnie, my love."
"Wynnie," I said, "our friends are not drowned. I think you will see them quite safe in the morning. Pray to God for them." She did not hear a word. "Leave her with me," said Ethelwyn, proceeding to undress her; "and tell nurse to bring up the large bath. There is plenty of hot water in the boiler. I gave orders to that effect, not knowing what might happen."
Besides, I daresay it was very much the custom of the country where they were, and that makes some difference." "Well, I'm sure, papa, you wouldn't like any of us to go and do like that," said Wynnie. "Assuredly not, my dear," I answered, laughing. "Nor have I any fear of it. But shall I tell you what I think would be one of the chief things to trouble me if you did?" "If you like, papa.
And you can't do much, if they would. Really, they oughtn't to marry yet. Father. Really, we must leave it to themselves. I don't think you and I need trouble our heads about it. When Percivale considers himself prepared to marry, and Wynnie thinks he is right, you may be sure they see their way to a livelihood without running in hopeless debt to their tradespeople. Mother. Oh, yes!
"What schooner?" she asked listlessly, and lay down again, her eyes still staring, awfully unappeased. "Why the schooner they say Percivale got on board." "He isn't drowned then!" she cried with a choking voice, and put her hands to her face and burst into tears and sobs. "Wynnie," I said, "look what your faithlessness brings upon you.
"Don't you like him, Harry?" "Yes. I like him very much." "Then why should you not like Wynnie to like him?" "I should like to be surer of his principles, for one thing." "I should like to be surer of Wynnie's." I was silent. Ethelwyn resumed. "Don't you think they might do each other good?" Still I could not reply.
For she said the white lapping of the waves looked like spirits trying to get loose, and the white birds like foam that had broken its chains, and risen in triumph into the air." Here Mr. Niceboots, for as yet I did not know what else to call him, looked at Wynnie almost with a start. "How wonderfully that falls in with my fancy about the rock!" he said.
"O, thank you, papa I shall be so glad of some tea!" said Wynnie, the paleness of whose face showed the red rims of her eyes the more plainly. She had had what girls call a good cry, and was clearly the better for it. The same moment my wife came in. "Why didn't you send for me, Harry, to get your tea?" she said. "I did not deserve any, seeing I had disregarded proper times and seasons.
Miss Boulderstone, however, though not very interesting, was quite a favourite before she died. She left Wynnie for she and her brother were the last of their race a death's-head watch, which had been in the family she did not know how long. I think it is as old as Queen Elizabeth's time.
"I should like to see what he has done," said Wynnie; "for, by the way we were sitting, I should think we were attempting the same thing." "And what was that then, Wynnie?" I asked. "A rock," she answered, "that you could not see from where you were sitting. I saw you on the top of the cliff." "Connie said it was you, by your bonnet.
