station, a porter roused himself from his afternoon nap and strolled
slowly down the platform calling "Whitsea! Change here for
Whitsea," in a melancholy sing-song. Guy picked up his stick and
alighted. Would Meriel come herself to meet him? He had asked the
question of himself a hundred times on the journey, and a hundred
times had told himself that he expected far too much.
But Meriel was there, and the delight in his heart showed in his
eyes as he went forward with outstretched hand to welcome her. Her
eyes dropped under his ardent glance, and the colour flushed her
cheek. Guy had seen no one but Meriel. Another voice recalled his
wandering faculties.
"I am just as delighted to welcome you to Whitsea, Mr. Hora, as
Meriel can be."
It was Guy's turn to flush, as he half turned to meet Mrs.
Marven's kindly glance.
"I only saw Miss Challys," he remarked simply.
"That was quite obvious," replied Mrs. Marven, as she took
Guy's hand, "and I am inclined to think that if I had been in your
place I shouldn't have seen anyone else, either. She is a pretty
picture, isn't she?" There was a tender inflection in her voice which
put Guy at his ease.
"There can be no two opinions about that," he answered
heartily.
"Auntie would make me vain, if I were not so already," said the
girl demurely, as she thrust her arm in Mrs. Marven's. "If you'll just
tell the porter which is your luggage, he will see that it is sent on. We
are not more than half a mile from the station, and we thought you
would like to walk to the Hall."
"Nothing could suit me better," declared Guy.
They strolled along the platform talking. Guy's kit bag and
dressing case were tossed out on the platform, and Jessel was
already mounting guard over them. Guy did not recognise his
servant until he was close to him. His surprise was apparent in the
tone of his voice.
"Hullo, Jessel!" he said. "What on earth are you doing here?"
The man touched his hat. "Beg your pardon, sir," he said. "Didn't
you intend me to come? You said nothing, so of course——"
Guy interrupted him. "I thought I had told you! But it doesn't
matter. Just see that the porter has my luggage all right. You can get
the next train back."
He turned away. Cornelius touched his hat. His face expressed
disappointment. Mrs. Marven observed his fallen countenance and
came to the rescue.
"I ought to have told you to bring your man with you," she
remarked to Guy, "and unless you have something you want him to
do for you, you had better let him come to the Hall. I know that the
Captain's man will be delighted that you have brought him, for I don't
mind telling you now, that he detests valeting anyone but his own
master."
With a word of thanks Guy dismissed the subject from his
thoughts. He was supremely indifferent to Jessel's presence. Meriel
was beside him. Nothing else mattered.
