When Nurse Blaber came back after the parting at Templecombe her nose and her eyelids were red, but, for all that, her face reflected a great light even while she sniffed over The Cloister and the Hearth. Miss Henschil, deep in a house furnisher's catalogue, did not speak for twenty minutes.
"Good-bye, Quinny!" Gilbert said at Templecombe. "Good-bye, Gilbert!" Henry answered in a low tone. "I suppose you'll write to me some day?" "I suppose so. Yes, of course!..." "Ripping day, isn't it? Shame to be wasting it in a blooming train!" "Yes!" He wished that the train would break down so that he need not part from Gilbert yet, but while he was wishing, it began to move.
I threw her over when I found that out. I mean, I told her she could stick to me or let me go. She wanted both. I went to sea again. It was then I met Templecombe. I met him in South America, and we got very pally. Then I came back to England. I got engaged to a girl got married to her when I was twenty-three ..." "Married!" cried Jenny, pulling herself away. She had flushed deeply.
"Sounds nice," she said; and was then silent. "When we're married," went on Keith, watching her; "where shall we go for our honeymoon? I say!... how would you like it if I borrowed the yacht from Templecombe and ran you off somewhere in it? I expect he'd let me have the old Minerva. Not a bad idea, eh what!" "When we're married," Jenny said breathlessly, very pale. "What d'you mean?"
"At any rate," said the bachelor, collecting his belongings preparatory to leaving the carriage, "I kept them quiet for ten minutes, which was more than you were able to do." "Unhappy woman!" he observed to himself as he walked down the platform of Templecombe station; "for the next six months or so those children will assail her in public with demands for an improper story!"
Horsington, a largish village 1 m. N. of Templecombe. It contains a 15th-cent. octagonal font with, rudely carved figures of angels at the angles. Huish Champflower, a village 3-1/2 m. N.W. from Wiveliscombe. The church is one of the few Dec. churches in the county, but not a pure example of the style, as the tower and window tracery are Perp.
Masbury, a station on S. & D. line from Bath to Templecombe. Here the railway, after an arduous ascent, at length reaches the summit of the Mendips. To the E. of the station is Masbury Ring, a large circular encampment. It is probably of British origin, but was, no doubt, also occupied by the Romans, as it lies on the line of the old Roman road from Uphill to Old Sarum.
Keith's eyes were so close to her own that she was forced to lower her lids. "When I come back from this trip. Templecombe says three months. It may be less." "It may be more." Jenny had hardly the will to murmur her warning her distrust. "Very unlikely; unless the weather's bad. I'm reckoning on a mild winter. If it's cold and stormy then of course yachting's out of the question.
I think it must be lovely to be a cow ... nothing to do but chew the damned cud all day. No soul to consider, no mind to improve, no anything!..." Gilbert and he left Boveyhayne together, but Gilbert was only going as far as Templecombe with him, where he was to change on his way to Cheltenham.
He would go straight to Boveyhayne from Liverpool. He could catch the Bournemouth Express, and change at Templecombe. ... "That's what I'll do," he said, and he hurried downstairs to prepare for his journey. He changed his mind at Liverpool. "I'll go to London first," he said, "and see Roger and Rachel. I might as well hear anything there is to hear!"
