There were plenty of spare bedrooms at the manor house, but so bare and empty, so long abandoned of human occupants, as to be fit only for the habitation of mice and spiders, stray bat or wandering owl. So Roderick had to walk down the hill again to St. Helier's, where he found hospitality at an hotel.
Vixen had just left the road and entered the meadow when Argus set up a joyous bark, and ran back to salute a passing vehicle. It was a St. Helier's fly, driving at a tremendous pace in the direction from which she had come. A young man lay back in the carriage, smoking a cigar, with his hat slouched over his eyes. Vixen could just see the strong sunburnt hand flung up above his head.
To argue with Win about whether he could or ought to attempt anything was never wise. Left to himself he would stop within the bounds of prudence but resented solicitude from others. "Well, where are we going?" she asked. "Let's take the train into St. Helier's," suggested Win. "We've scarcely seen the town." Edith looked doubtful. "I ought to ask Sister," she said.
Helier's often," Edith confided. "Just to market once with Nurse, and once to choose curtains with Sister. We thought the drapers' shops quite excellent." Fran's attention was held for an instant, but after all it seemed only reasonable that draperies should be purchased at a draper's. "Isn't the beach lovely?" she confided. "It would be fun to walk back." "We might," said Edith.
Helier's, set in the expanse of wet sand. "Look at the boys sailing boats." "Sometimes there are real races with little model yachts," said Edith. "There's a club of the young officers and some of the townspeople and they have the prettiest little miniature boats with keels about a metre long, rigged exactly like real racing yachts. It's great sport to see them. But ought we not to go back?"
Helier's as chanced to be on the water front, and affording Roger two full moments of complete and exquisite satisfaction. "Real United States!" he said. "I suppose an English boat doesn't know enough to whistle " Roger stopped with his mouth open. From the Alouette came two distinct blasts of the steam siren. "Oh, that's Mr. Max," burst out Win in delight.
But, in spite of the weather, it had been judged wise and proper that Charles should show himself at Church on this, the first Sunday of his kingship in Jersey: and he accordingly attended worship at the Town Church of S. Helier's. The tide was low, and the royal cortège, muffled in their cloaks, rode or walked slowly along the causeway, and up the glacis that led to the entrance.
The water showed wonderful shades of blue, green and turquoise, and in the edge of the retreating waves walked hundreds of gulls, searching for food. The girls started up the beach toward St. Helier's, chatting happily as they watched the water and the birds. Little sandpipers appeared and some huge gray cormorants.
And again the rejoicing lover quoted the Laureate: "And on her lover's arm she leant, And round her waist she felt it fold; And far across the hills they went, In that new world which is the old." Rorie had to walk all the way to St. Helier's.
At Southampton, Michel and Angele were married by royal license, and with the Comtesse de Montgomery set sail in Buonespoir's boat, the Honeyflower, which brought them safe to St. Helier's, in the Isle of Jersey. Followed several happy years for Michel and Angele.
