'What I am! Carinthia raised and let fall her head. 'An example makes dwarfs of us. When Mr. Wythan does penance for temper by descending into his mine and working among his men for a day with the pick, seated, as he showed me down below, that is an example. If I did like that, I should have no firedamp in the breast, and not such a task to forgive, that when I succeed I kill my feelings.
'She can't yet overlook . . . ? 'It's in the family. She will overlook anything her brother excuses. 'I'm here to see him. 'I heard it from Mr. Wythan. "Owain," I believe? Henrietta sketched apologies, with a sidled head, soft pout, wavy hand. 'He belongs to the order of primitive people. His wife the same pattern, one supposes pledged them to their Christian names.
'I beg, he said, and motioned to Chillon the way of welcome into the park, saw the fixed figure, and passed over the unspoken refusal, with a remark to Mr. Wythan: 'At Barlings, I presume? 'My tent is pitched there, was the answer. 'Good-bye, my brother, said Carinthia. Chillon folded his arms round her. 'God bless you, dear love. Let me see you soon. He murmured: 'You can protect yourself.
Wythan would like to see him every day. Martha can walk now. 'She can walk and hold a child in her two arms, my lady, said Madge. 'She expects miners popping up out of the bare ground when she sees no goblins. 'They! they know him, they would not hurt him, they know my son, her mistress answered. The population of the mines in revolt had no alarms for her. The works were empty down below.
Leaning on Carinthia's arm, he went back to the house, where he was put to bed in peace of mind. His resuscitated physical vigour blocked all speculation for the young people assembled at Stoneridge that night. They hardly spoke; they strangled thoughts forming as larvae of wishes. Henrietta would be away to Lady Arpington's next day, Mr. Wythan to Wales.
Wythan remarked, not proffering an opinion of it more than was expressed by a hearty, rosy countenance, that had to win its way with the earl before excuse was found for the venturesome repetition of his phrase.
Hearing Carinthia say to her: 'I hope he will not be beaten, I hope, I hope, she made answer: 'You are very good, Miss'; and the young lady flushed. Gentlemen below were talking up to the earl. A Kentish squire of an estate neighbouring Esslemont introduced a Welsh squire he had driven to see the fun, by the name of Mr. Owain Wythan, a neighbour of the earl's down in Wales.
Chillon and Carinthia journeyed to London for purchases and a visit to lawyer, banker, and tradesmen, on their way to meet his chief and Owain Wythan at Southampton. They lunched with Livia. The morrow was the great Calesford day; Henrietta carolled of it. Lady Arpington had been afllictingly demure on the theme of her presence at Calesford within her term of mourning.
His eloquence upon the beauty was her clue. Carinthia and Mr. Wythan started at a sharp trot in the direction of the pair of ponies driven by a groom along the curved decline of the narrow roadway. His whip was up for signal. It concerned the house and the master of it.
Her sensations were those of a bird that has flown into a room, and beats wings against the ceiling and the window-panes. A close, hard sky, a transparent prison wall, narrowed her powers, mocked her soul. She spoke little; what she said impressed Chillon's chief, Owain Wythan was glad to tell her.
