Dear Henry:
I am sorry not to have answered / your inquiry sooner, but I reallyknow / very little about the Hardy ancestry. / It is said that the familycame from / Jersey-(indeed, there are Thomas Ie Hardys / living there
still)-& settled in Dorset, & / that ours in one of its numerous
branches / in this country, which, as we have been / here for centuries,
it no doubt is.
But it would require years of register- / searchings to ascertain the113exact ramifications. / The Scottish Hardys seem to be II a different
family.

The arms of the / Dorset Hardys are, "Sable, on a chevron /between three escallops or, three wyvern's / heads erased of the field"though we / don't use them.
I am sorry to hear of your mother's / affliction.

I keep fairly well.

Yours very truly
Thomas Hardy.

My dear Cousin Gus,
This is a line / to thank you for a nice card and / kind letter withgood wishes which / you sent to us at Xmas.

In re- / -turn we wish

you and M~ / Hardy health wealth and hap- / -piness for many ayear to / come.

I hope the letter keeps / tolerably well for she has

a / great deal to bear in not / being able to use her eyes II as she used
to do.

She must have / been very active when her / children weregrowing up / or she would not have trained / them so well.

I havethought of / her of late as my eyes are / very weak and I can't use /them to read or sew for any / length of time.

The Play / you men-tioned as being / put on the Stage was taken / to London and acted
before / the Society of Dorset Men in II in London.

You would liketo / have seen it I know, as the / actors were Dorchester people / andthey spoke in the Dorset / dialect.

Tom does not get / any thing by

these plays. / All the money that is taken / after expenses are paid,
goes / to charity.

But it pleases / him that the Dorchester people /like the plays and that they / bring visitors into the town. / Theresa
has been here today. / She finds the winter long and / the walk toand from Church II rather trying. But she is such / an excellent walker
and / she plays so nicely in Church / that I hope she will not give /114

up her work there yet, par- / -ticularly as her health con- / -tinues
good. I enclose you / a copy of the inscription which / Tom has put
up in Stinsford / Church to the memory of our / Grandfather, yourFather and / our Father. I thought you / would like to have it as
your / Father's name is mentioned & / as you know the Church / andthe road they took to go to II to it every Sunday, after having / worked
very hard all the week. / People in those days used to / work harderthan they do / now, don't you think so? / The inscription on the brass /is simply in Latin. The / English words underneath / which I send
to you are that / you may see exactly how it stands. I would rather /it had been an English II inscription and no Latin / and I daresay you
would / also, but you know how / fond Tom is of books and / languages and I think / he could not feel satisfied / unless there wassome / show of learning in this. / He said it was not necessary / forevery stranger to be / able to read it. The brass II is on a slab of
Purbeck / marble and it is inserted / in the Church wall near / the1/ hope I have not made / the account of this too /long and perhaps M!2. / Hardy would like you / to read, what I havechristening font.

said, / to her. I hope all your / childre,n and their families / aregetting on well in II their different business / and that they are all
well. / Tom hears sometimes from / Henry in Scotland and 1/ thinkhe must be very / highly respected there.

What / a blessing that allof your / children are steady and / seem to go the right way in / life.
I hope Emily is well / and happy for she must have / had a good dealof trouble. / With all good wishes to you all

Dear Henry,
As my brother Henry is unable to / write to you at present, I am
commissioned to / do so for him at the same time thanking you many I
times for the kind letter you wrote him at the / time of my brother's
death. I remember you & / Albert coming to Bockhampton quite
well, now / many years ago. Since then you have made / great strides
in family matters, among other / things!

I am sorry to tell you thatyour / Aunt Theresa is ill & a doctor is attending her / Her heart is
not at all strong & she is in a II very weak state. Yesterday we heard
she / was very ill. She is 64 years old & of course / at that time oflife there is not much "fight" / left in anybody. I hope you, andall your / family, are well.

Every body one meets seems / to glory in

the fine weather we are having for / awhile, & I can just imagine
peoples feelings when / we get more rain & yet more rain for days
& days! / I am sorry your letter was not acknowledged / sooner thanthis, but there are so many to write.
Yours truly

Chapter 1.

fflAT(7)T~;<" )-:lIlt19J(7)7 paragraphs (7)fl1Hhl:-

CONCERNING the beings categorised above it may be premised that of
the aim and meaning of their appearance upon the earth, of what, in
its highest sense, they came into the world to do-if much, if little, orwhether to be only lookers-on and to do nothing at all-no analysis
will be given.

Even from their social life-a congeries of significant

phenomena-we sip but a sweet or bitter here and there in flying along.
In other words, on the subject only of some nodes in the orbits of theirlives is it the province of this narrative to be diffuse.
Though the whole material and vehicle of the story is here before
us in parvo, who shall put limits to the possible extent of good, bad,or indifferent circumstance that, in connection with these few persons
and this narrow scene, may have arisen, declined, and been finally deposited in the Past as mere matter for inspection by eyes who knowor care where to find it? If the reader has taken the trouble to lookdown the list with anything like kindly curiosity, and given a minuteof his time to the idle imagination of why such a company was everbrought together by Fate, Chance, Law, or Providence, so much thebetter.

He will perceive from their general standing, that three or fourof them may have been capable characters, whose emotional experiences
deserve record.
Elfride Swancourt is reading a romance.
She is sitting alone in the drawing-room of a remote country vicarage, hoping for a kindly ending to the story, or, as it is put in homely
phrase, that it may end well.
It happened that she was to be disappointed.

The title of the novel

it is not worth while to give, but it detailed in its conclusion the saddest contretemps that ever lingered in a gentle and responsive reader'smind since fiction has taken a turn-for better or for worse-for analysing rather than depicting character and emotion.
Elfride was just dismissing the second volume-its crimson covers
making one pale pink hand that clasped them as intensely white bytheir contrast as the pallid leaf underlying the other caused that totinge itself almost rosy. She read on with a pulse which, as each leaf
was turned, quickened with misgiving. She began to suspect the trickof the issue, and dreaded it-as an inexorable fate with regard to theimaginary beings therein concerned-as she dreaded a wasp's sting inregard to herself.
She takes up the third volume, and opens it. The list of contents
was disclosed, in which the author had, somewhat indiscreetly, too
plainly revealed the sorrow that was impending.

Elfride was too honest

a reader to resolve her suspense into a more endurable certainty bytaking a surreptitious glance at the end, yet too much of a woman tobe satisfied with going straight on. Her eye strayed to the contents
page to scan it, and so help her prognostication.
hardly fair: she would not look.

No, even that was

She put her little palm over the re-lentless chapter-headings-to lift it after all, and look under at thesuspicious group of terse phrases which meant so much to the initiated.
Misgiving increased like Genevieve's at her lover's ditty of the Miserable Knight.

Her heart still librating between hope and fear, fear

permanently prevailed. Her hero died.
Elfride smothered an inward sigh and murmured, 'What a weak
thing I am!'
She never forgot that novel, and those minutes of sadness.

Not that

the story was the most powerful she had ever read; not that thosetears were the bitterest that had ever flowed.

But for this reason:that it was the last time in her life that her emotions were ever wound
to any height by circumstances which never transpired; that the loves
and woes, expectations and despairs, of imaginary beings were ever able
so much to emulate her own experiences as to make a perceptible difference to her state of mind for a whole afternoon.
Thus it will be seen that Elfride was !it this time a young creature
whose emotions lay very near the surface: their nature more particularly, and as modified by the creeping hours of time, example will
illus tra teo
Personally she was the combination of very interesting particulars,
I25

whose rarity, however, lay in the combination itself rather than in theindividual elements combined.

Will it be necessary to thrust her

forward in the garish daylight, and describe her points as categoricallyas Cleopatra's messenger described Octavia's?

Hardly. It might vul-

garise her, and rob her of some of the sweetness which the stolen
glimpses only that will for the present be taken may serve to heighten.
For instance, the height of her forehead; the shape of her nose.

These

things may never be learnt to the very last page of this narrative.
There is, however, something more than the respect and love of her
biographer to prompt this retic.ence.

As a matter of fact, you did not

see the form and substance of her features when conversing with her;and this charming power of preventing a material study of her externals
by an interlocutor originated not in the invisible cloak ofa wellformed manner (for her manner was childish and scarcely formed), but
in the attractive crudeness of the remarks themselves.

She had lived

all her life in retirement-the monstrari digito of idle men had not
flattered her, and at the age of nineteen or twenty she was no farther
on in social consciousness than an urban young lady of fifteen.
One point in her, however, you did notice: that was her eyes.

Inthem was seen a sublimation of all of her; it was not necessary to lookfarther: there she lived.
These eyes were blue: heavenly blue.
At least heavenly blue in High Parnassian.

But at the risk of laps-

ing into that unpleasant sin, realism in narrative art, let it be said in
sly prose that her eyes were, more truly, blue as autumn distanceblue as the blue we see between the retreating mOUldings of hills andwoody slopes on a sunny September morning.

A misty and shady blue,that had no beginning or surface, and was looked into rather than at.
Of the two, indeed, perhaps this earthly blue is the more beautiful.
As to her Presence, it was not powerful; it was weak.

Some womencan make their personality pervade the atmosphere of a whole banqueting hall; Elfride's was no more pervasive than that of a kitten.
Notice, as Elfride's own, the thoughtfulness which appears in the faceof the Madonna delle Sedia, without its rapture: the warmth andI26

spirit of the type of woman's feature most common to the beautiesmortal and immortal-of Rubens, without their prominence of fleshly
tone. The characteristic expression of the female faces of Correggiothat of the yearning human thoughts that lie too deep for tears-was
hers sometimes, but seldom under ordinary conditions.
Four hours after the above-named romantic concern for a hero offiction, Elfride was standing, in the character of hostess, face to facewith a man she had never seen before-moreover, looking at him witha Miranda-like curiosity and interest that she had never yet bestowed
on a mortal.
The meaning and reasons of the meeting will disclose themselvesamid the following details.

They read her as a person witha curious temper. Thus: she does not scatter kindnesses and cruelties
alternately, impartially, or in order-shining on them one day, raining onthem the next-but heartless severities or overwhelming kindnesses inlawless caprice.

Their case is always that of the prodigal's favourite

or the miser's pensioner. In her unfriendly moments there seems a cruelfun in her tricks-a feline playfulness begotten by an anticipated pleasurein swallowing the victim.

She hung it temporarily on the railof the bridge, and then, by a species of mutual curiosity, they both turned.

Relinquishing her hold of Jude's hands as if with relief, she sat downon the sod under a stunted thorn, and remained some time in reverie,her form heaving and falling in quick pants, her face flushed, her full
red lips parted, and a fine dew of perspiration upon her skin.

Judestood before her, looking sometimes into the .distahce, sometimes backinto her face.
"You look tired, dear," he said.
"I am not so very tired; only out 0' breath," she murmured.
"You seem out of spirits, or something, then.

down to kiss her.

She looked far away at the solitude, which was absolute.

They were,in fact, on one of the summits of the county, and could discern the
remote landscape around Christminster (which Jude did not thinkof as being attractive then), till she glanced gloomily at her pocket,
and at her hand that held something white partially withdrawn from it.
" What have you there?" said he.
"A letter.

Oh, never mind."

She thrust the letter back into her

pocket again.
"Is it that which troubles you? ""Yes, partly.

I don't know how to answer it."

"I cannot advise you unless I know what it is about."" And if I tell you, you'll be angry with me.""I promise not to be.""Very well, then.
" Another?"

It is about another young man."Jude felt the beginning of a cold sweat supervening on

He was a rather

Oh, I did serve him bad, poor

chap! "
"Why was that?""How stupid you be!" she said, crossly.

"I came home, and thenI saw you, and-gave him the cold shoulder-""You were a dear!""But that isn't all. He forgives everything; offers to marry me offhand, even now, if I'll say yes. To think that he is so constant, after
all! I don't deserve it. I am unworthy of such."
She drew out the letter and unfolded it, expecting Jude to ask to seeit.

He merely said.
"Is that the offer of marriage? ""Yes," said she.
Jude sighed. "Of course," he said, mournfully, "if you think so muchabout him, and think you ought to have him, I must bear the loss ofyou.

But I. didn't expect such a blow as this.

However, I won't re-proach you. But as long as I live I shall never forget you. I was goingto ask for one last kiss. Perhaps I have no right to. You ought tohave told me of this before .... So I am to take it as being all over between us?"
Arabella remained a moment longer, looking nettled. Then, with aslight curl of her lip, she sprang to her feet, and exclaiming abruptly"I must mizzle!" walked off quickly homeward. Jude followed heavily,
and rejoined her.
"Just one!" he coaxed. "Though I ought not, I suppose, now?"" Sha'n't !" she said.
He, surprised and hurt: "You needn't answer like that, dear, even if
I did ask for what I have no longer a right to expect.

I didn't know till

She kept her two lips resentfully together, and Jude followed her likea pet lamb, till she slackened her pace and walked beside him, talking
calmly on indifferent subjects. Then they descended to the precincts ofher father's homestead, and Arabella went in, merely nodding good-by
to him with a supercilious, affronted air.
"Shall I see you once more?" he faltered.
"Yes, once, if you like.

Sunday eyening," said she, with suppressedire.
"I ought not to have tried to kiss her after what she had told me,"

I don't mind."

In the afternoon Arabella was on the watch for Jude, with a feelingof considerable anxiety, for her scheme had somewhat miscarried thus
far.

He came; and they wandered with divided minds till they reached

the green track along the ridge, which they followed to the circular
British earthwork adjoining, Jude thinking of the great age of the trackway, and of the drovers who had frequented it, probably before theRomans knew the country.

From the level lands below them floatedup the chime of church-bells.

Presently they were reduced to one note,

which quickened and stopped.
"Now we'll go back," said Arabella, who had observed the sounds.
Jude assented.

So long as he was near her he minded little where

he was.
When they arrived at her house he said, lingeringly: "I won't comein. Why are you in such a hurry to go in to-night?

She tried the door-handle, and"Ah, they are gone to church," she added.

Searchingbehind the scraper, she found the key, and unlocked the door.

"It is good of you," said Jude.
In-doors they went.

"What is it?" said Jude, much distressed.
"He's coming!" she said. "Look on the chimley-piece!"
He looked, and saw a letter, directed to a man at Aldbrickham whosename was strange to him, in Arabella's handwriting.
"What is it-acceptance of him?" said Jude, pale as death.
"I've been drove to it!" she sobbed. "He says he shall come for me
willy-nilly, and father and mother say I must have him! But I don't
want to-because-because-I love you best! But I must give you up,
because you be not ready, and he is!""I am ready!" said Jude, passionately.

"I can't let you go!

Tellyour father and mother that I am as ready as he! When is he coming? ""He tells father he's coming in three weeks.""We'll be married by that time! Will you tear up that letter?""Will you? It will mean to father and mother that you take hisplace if I tell them you tore it up."Jude rushed and tore up the letter, and kissed her more than once;and she said, with real gladness, "And you won't desert me?""You know I won't desert you, Arabella! It is true I have next to
no wages as yet, or perhaps I should have thought of this before. But,of course, now you are in a corner like this, we will marry.

Whatother thing do you think I could dream of doing? ""I thought-I thought, deary, perhaps you would go away-when you
found I had been so-wicked as to give another man leave to come forme-and marry me!""You knew better.

Of course I never dreamt six months ago, or eventhree, of marrying. It is a complete smashing up of my plans-I mean
my plans before I knew you, my dear. But what are they, after all ?

and wife he would be sure to find out the mythical character of the urgent
suitor, sooner or later.

The occasion came one evening ...

lodging in "Capernaum," near the ceremonial church of St. Silas.

The

old landlady who opened the door seemed glad to see him again, andbringing some lunch, informed him that, a few weeks before this time,a "sort of lady" had called and inquired for him by name.

Judy asked

what the lady was like, but the housewife's notions were vague, and she
could only describe the casual caller as good-looking, and rather showily
dressed.

She had not seemed particularly anxious to see Jude, and had

apparently only called from curiosity.

His informant believed she was insome situation in Christminster.

Jude dismissed her with the thought that she might have been some acquaintance of Sue's, and went on to the stone-yard where he had worked.

"But domestic laws should be made according to temperaments, whichshould be classified, each class having its special laws in all matters ofemotion and affection, differing from the laws of other classes. If people

are at all peculiar in character they have to suffer from the very regulations that produce comfort in others.... What is the use of thinking oflaws and ordinances if they make you miserable, when you know you
are committing no sin? There is only one law on this subject in Nature,or in God's eye-whichever expression you like best for the same thingand that is that for a man and woman wlw don't love each other to live

A YOUNG MAN OF TWENTY.
CHAPTER I.
RELICS.
ONCE-and that not long ago-there was a young sculptor who had notquite made a great name; and pending that event he lived on a small
income allowed him by his father, an inartistic man of trade and commerce merely.
The sculptor was not engaged in his art on one particular midnight inthe summer season, when, having packed up such luggage as he might
require for a sojourn in the country, he sat down in his temporary rooms
in a London square to destroy a mass of papers that he did not wish tocarry with him and objected to leave behind.
Among them were several packets of love-letters, in sundry hands.
He took the first bundle, laid it in the grate, lit a match under it,
and waited.

The bundle of hard, close-lying note sheets would not burn.

He cut the string, loosened the letters, and kindled another match.
The flames illuminated the handwriting, which sufficiently recalled to his
knowledge her from whom that batch had come, and enabled him toread tender words and fragments of sentences addressed to him in his
teens by the writer.

Many of the sentiments, he was ashamed to think,he had availed himself of in some attempts at lyric verse, as having inthem that living fire which no lucubration can reach.

The edges ofsome of the sheets began to be browned by the flame; but they would
not in this cold grate light up and consume as he had expected.
By this time he had begun to experience a sentimental feeling for the207letters, though, till the present evening, he had not once thought of themfor a twelvemonth.

He had no longer heart to burn them.

That packet,

at least, he would preserve for the writer's sake, notwithstanding that theperson of the writer, wherever she might be, was now but as an empty
shell which had once contained his ideal for a transient time.

He drew

the letters from the grate, shook them clean, and laid them aside.
The next package was in a contrasting hand-thick and rotund, generated by a scratching quill.

A school-girl she: he lad never much cared

for her; and her effusions were unceremoniously tumbled in.
The young man repeated the match-lighting process, stirring the letterswith the poker.

Some flamed, but the majority remained clean and legible

as when written.

Her handwriting had been so large and inky that she

had spread over a multitude of sheets a very small quantity of thought
and affection; and the bundle, made up of only a short correspondence,
was enormous.

There was no destroying it in a hurry, unless a fiery

furnace into which to thrust it could have been improvised.
Suddenly there arose a little fizzle in the dull flicker: something otherthan paper was burning.

It was hair-her hair.

"Good heavens!" said the budding sculptor to himself.
be such a brute?

"How can I

I am burning her-part of her form-many of whose

curves as remembered by me I have worked into statuettes and tried tosell.

I cannot do It-at any rate, to-night."

All that remained of the bundle-by far the greater part-he hastily
withdrew from the grate, shook the feathery black scales of paper-ash
from the pages, refastened them, and put them back for preservation also.
He looked at the. other packages.

One signed in round-hand, one inlong-hand, one in square-hand, one in pointed-hand, crippled and pinched.
She had been much older than he.

They all showed affection which once

had lived, though now it was ·past and gone.

No, he could not burnthem here and alone.
What could he do with them?
reconsider their existence.

He would take them with him, andBut all his luggage was packed; in his port-

manteaus and hand baggage not a square inch of room remained.

At

last he took his summer overcoat, which he would certainly not require'

to use till wet weather recommenced, rolled it hastily round the lumps
of undying affection, strapped the whole compactly together, and, flinging
it down beside his portmanteaus, went to bed.

CHAPTER II.
A SUPPOSITITIOUS PRESENTMENT. OF HER.
About two o'clock the next day he was ascending the steep roadway
which led from the village of Slopeway Well to the summit of the rocky
peninsula, called an island, that juts out like the head of a flamingo
into the English Channel, and is connected with the mainland of Wessex
by a long, thin beach of pebbles, representing the neck of the bird.
He recollected that it was two years and eight months since he had
paid his last visit to his father at this, his birthplace, the intervening
time having been spent amid many contrasting scenes at home and abroad.
-'~ '7 f'7 7 ~qJcilbf~;:,3 ~;:il7E< What had seemed natural in the isle0

when he left it now looked quaint and odd amid these later impressions.
i'J((JY)i:.tJ: L.o [The towering rock,] The houses above houses, ... , the gardens
hung up by one hedge to the sky, [the vegetables growing on apparently

almost vertical planes,] the unity ... single block of [lime-]stone four
miles long, ... All now stood dazzlingly clean and white against the bluesea, the sun flashing on the stratified fa~ades of rockThe melancholy ruins
Of cancelled cycles .... Prodigious shapes
Huddled in grey annihilation.

4.

After a laborious clamber he reached the top, and walked along theplateau towards East Wake.

The road was glaring and dusty as always,

and, drawing near to his father's house, he sat down in the sun.

He had hardly left the door when Mrs. Caro's servant ran out to ask

him if he had left his coat behind him when he called on the day of his
arrival.

They had found it in the house, and had not been sure whose it

" 0, yes, it is mine," said Jocelyn, hastily. "I forgot it."
The great coat was strapped up round the letters just as he had arranged

She blushed, looked rather than spoke her forgiveness, and shrank away,

were strewn,With some embarrassment at her presence he withdrew anotherhandful from the collection and threw it on the flames.
" What are you burning?" she asked.
"0, only some papers I hadn't time to destroy before I left town, andwhich I forgot till to-day that I had brought with me."" Ah, that was the parcel you left at our house, perhaps?"" Yes."She scanned more closely the packets scattered round her.

He hardly knew what to say to the new personality in the presence of theold.

To scent her views on the point he asked her to meet him in the old
Hope churchyard one evening at seven o'clock.
CHAPTER IV.
THE LONELY PEDESTRIAN.
The Hope churchyard lay in a dell formed by a landslip ages ago, andthe church had long been a ruin. At the hour appointed she descended
the rocks and found him waiting at the foot of them.
They wandered hither and thither in the shades, and the solemnity of
2I3

the spot and the absence of daylight assisted him in sounding her mind
on a subject which could not be approached with levity.
He found that, in common with all the islanders born, she knew ofthe observance.

But it was obvious that, in view of herself as a modern

young woman, she had never expected it to arise as a practical question
between him and her.

Some of the working quarriers kept it up, but

nobody else, she said. Jocelyn hastened to inform her that he only
wished to consult her desires as to the terms of their engagement, andnot knowing how far she respected the island's history, felt bound tomention it: though urge it he did not.

"Yes." He reflected, and decided that instead of leaving in thedaytime he would defer his departure till the night mail-train from Budmouth.

He had hardly looked into his father's quarries, and this would

give him time to do so, and enable her, if she chose, to accompany him
a little way.

If she would agree, he purposed to send on his luggage to theaforesaid watering-place, and ask her to walk with him along the beachas far as to Henry the Eighth's Castle above the sands, where they could
stay and see the moon rise over the sea. He would see her nearly all theway back, and there would be ample time after that for him to catch thelast train.
" You can reserve your answer till to-morrow," he added.
She hesitated. "I understand you to mean, dear Jocelyn," she said, "thatmy accompanying you to the castle would signify that I conform to thecustom of working the spell?"" Well, yes," he answered.
" I will think it over to-morrow, and ask mother if I ought to, and decide,"
said she.

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

CHAPTER VIII.
A MISCALCULATION.
The pair had been married two months, and had just returned from aContinental trip to Pearston's house in Hintock Road, Kensington. They
were getting through the heavy task of opening a heap of letters andpapers which had accumulated since the last batch had been forwarded.
Pearston was filled with zest for availing himself to the utmost of theartistic stimulus afforded by London-that great and enlightened city,which dedicates its squares, streets, and parks to figure-heads and jaineanfs,
and a lane at the East-End to Shakspere; and, with a view to showing
its sympathy with a more rapid form of mental elevation than resultsfrom the tedious process of picture-gazing, makes its taverns the Sunday
resort by closing its museums.

Nevertheless, for them it was London or

nowhere, and here they were going to make the best of their recent
matrimonial plunge.
Marcia's parents, finding from the newspapers what had happened, put
as hopeful a face as they could on the matter, but did not communicate
with the truants. In birth the pair were about equal, but Marcia's family
had gained a start in the accumulation of wealth and in the initiationof social distinction, which lent a colour to the feeling that the advantages of the match had been mainly on one side. Nevertheless, Pearston
was a sculptor rising to fame by fairly rapid strides; and potentially themarriage was not a bad one for a woman who, beyond being the probablesuccessor to a stone-merchant's considerable fortune, had no exceptional
opportuni ties.
Among their letters was one for her, in which she was informed thather father and mother had gone to spend the winter in the Riviera and
Italy.

On this particular morning, as on most mornings, the London

atmosphere was of a neat drab with the twenty-ninth fog of the season,and Marcia looked out of the window as far as she could see, which
was two feet, and sighed.

She had been eight weeks Pearston's wife.

"I should have been in the City of Flowers by this time if""You hadn't been so foolish as to marry me," laughed Jocelyn.

By degrees Pearston fell into his customary round of existence; his profession occupied him to the exclusion of domestic affairs; but with Marcia
life began to be rather dull.
220

Her parents were not resentful or bitter, but

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved
they were not very warm.

They had returned to London, ,and, while willing

to receive Marcia at their house, refrained from calling on the young couple.
Pears ton was a little sarcastic at their obvious estimate of him, and Marcia

took umbrage at his sarcasm.

" I ought to have known it," he murmured.

Some days after the subject was renewed by theirseeing in a local paper an announcement of the marriage of Avice Carowith her cousin. Jocelyn remembered him, though but indistinctly.

He

had been the manager of her mother's quarries since her father's death,and had recently been thrown much in her company.
Jocelyn sat in a reverie.
"You spoke of my temper the other day," said she. "Do you thinktemper had nothing to do with your dear Avice's quick marriage?""She was not 'dear,' not dear enough, at any rate, to me."22I

"Unfortunately for me.""Well, yes, I ought to have married her, because she was the only

But instead of wedding Rosaline, Romeo mustneeds go marrying Juliet; and that's where he made the mistake.
fortunate thing for the affections of those two that they died.

A

In a

month or two the enmity of their families would have proved a fruitfulsource of dissension; Juliet would have lived with her people, he with
his; the subject would have split them as much as it has split us."Thus it began and continued in the home of these hastily wedded
ones.

Sometimes it was worse, far worse, than a hot quarrel.

There wasa calm, cold reasoning in their discussions, and they talked in complete
accord of the curse of matrimony.

In their ill-matched junction on thestrength of a two or three days' passion they felt the full irksomeness of aformal tie which, as so many have discovered, did not become necessary
till it was a cruelty to them.
A legal marriage it was, but not a true marriage.

In the night they

heard sardonic voices and laughter in the wind at the ludicrous facility
afforded them by events for taking a step in two days which they could
not retrace in a lifetime, despite their mutual desire as the two persons
solely concerned.
Marcia's haughty temper unfolded in the direction of irascibility when
she beheld clearly in what a trap she had been ensnared.

She was her

husband's property, like one of his statues that he could not sell. "Wasthere ever anything more absurd in history," she said bitterly to him
one day, "than that grey-headed legislators from time immemorial shouldhave gravely based inflexible laws upon the ridiculous dream of young
people that a transient mutual desire for each other was going to lastfor ever!"Jocelyn saw that the slow and mournful departure of the Well-Beloved
from the form at his side was hastened, to one of his unfortunate temperament, by the tie that was supposed to hinder it.

He thought sometimes

that if the law had ordained separate residences, with periodical visitations
strictly limited to Sundays cand holidays as the rigorous matrimonialcondition, he might have got on with Mercia, despite her Quos egos and222

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

high-handed rulings; indeed, in such circumstances those traits would
not have been unattractive to him.

But love's dewy freshness could notlive under a vertical sun, and that gradual substitution of friendship,
which is indispensable and, perhaps, usual in marriage, was not possible
with natures so jarring as these.
There followed a long period of dreary calm, and then the storm which
had been gathering under its silence burst forth with unmitigated fury.
The Well-Beloved had quite vanished away.

What had become of her

Pearston knew not, but not a line of her was any longer discoverable inMarcia's contours, not a sound of her in Marcia's accents.

Havingentered into a signed and sealed contract to do no such thing, he would
not in honour look about to discover the other's lurking-place; but hesometimes trembled at the thought of what would become of that solemn
covenant if she were suddenly to disclose herself and confront him before
he was aware.

Once or twice he fancied that he saw her in the distance-at the end of a street, on the far sands of a shore, in a window, or at
the opposite side of railway station; but he always religiously turned on
his heel and walked the other way (especially if Marcia was with him).
There came a day when she returned from visiting her mother at
Kensington, bringing the news that, travel having benefited her father's
health so markedly on the last occasion, her parents had decided on atour round the world, and a possible stay with her uncle, who was abanker in San Francisco. Since retiring from his large business, old Mr.
Bencomb had not known what to do with his leisure.

They were going

to let their house on a lease or sell it outright, rating London life as
dreary by comparison with cosmopolitan freedom and an absence of
responsibility in the conduct of the world's affairs.
"And here am I chained to London!" Marcia added.

"You said you

were going to revisit Rome and Athens, but you don't.

I wish I could

go with them."·"Go, in Heaven's name!

I don't hinder you," said he.

"You arealways, it seems to me, dwelling upon the inconveniences I have caused
you by marrying you, and thereby interfering with your natural life.
Why doesn't your father come and talk over his project like a man, and223

perhaps I could arrange to go with them.""That would be treachery to your own dear parent, so cruelly robbed
by my wicked one.""Now, no more of that, Marcia! ... Though it is true enough.""It is not!""It is.

I have the papers to prove it."

"I tell you it is not so, Sir!" she cried.

"It was an honest trade rivalry.

Don't you be so fond of your insinuations!

A miserly, grasping skin-flint"-"Upon my soul, Marcia, I won't hear you, or anybody else, call myfather names!

Why, you mean woman, we are partly living, aren't we,at this very moment, upon what he allows me; and you can put yourtongue to such an expression as that!""And you can put your tongue to call me a mean hussy!""I didn't.""You did!"Jocelyn sprang up to leave the room, and her anger being culminative,
she caught up the first thing she could seize, which happened to be oneof his statuettes, and flung it at his head.

The figure missed him, but

struck the wall, and fell broken to atoms.

The sight of his darling little

work irretrievably ruined so exasperated Pearston that he rushed back, took
her by the shoulders, and shook her: after which he went out of theroom, put on his hat, and departed for his club.
CHAPTER IX.
FAMILIAR PHENOMENA IN THE DISTANCE.
After four yearsof common residence, diversified by drawing-room

incidents of this lively character, these two irreconcilables parted bycommon consent.

The voyage of Marcia's parents had implanted in thema zest for the New World, already the home of some relatives; Marcia's
father, a man still in full vigour of life except at intervals, found occupation for the leisure which the sale of his business afforded him in investing
capital in undertakings commensurate with the scale of the country wherein
they were to be carried out; and when in the development of these schemes
224

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

he again rejoined his brother in the Western States Marcia accompaniedhim.
The separation was quite of an informal kind, each merely promising
the other never to intrude into that other's life again, by written wordor personal presence: its object being to undo, as far as lay in theirpower, the mischief that misapprehension of each other's characters had
effected during the past few years.
Marcia declared she would never return to England, but would makeher home with her uncle on the Pacific shore. "And for my part," sheadded in this her last letter to him, "I fail to see why, in making eachour own home, we should not make our own matrimonial laws if wechoose. This may seem an advanced view, but I am not ashamed ofadvanced views. If I strictly confine myself to one hemisphere, and you,as I expect you to do, confine yourself to the other, any new tie we may
form can affect nobody but ourselves. As I shall feel myself at liberty
to form such, I accord the same liberty to you."
Whether the advanced idea were a Parthian fling of defiance, which
she had no intention whatever of acting on, or whether it were written
coolly, as a possible contingency, with an eye on the jilted Indian captain,
Pearston had no means of knowing.

There had not been much harm in the flirtation thus far; but did

He

was now a man over forty, she was probably thirty; and he dared not makemeaningless love with the carelessness of a younger man.

It was impossible

to go further without telling her, even though, hitherto, such explicitness
had not been absolutely demanded.

bestowing so much attention upon one who, in a worldly view, would at thebest be a clog upon his social and artistic activities, should these, which had

11. ~ 2 Jt fi.*~ill1COC~ ~.h -C \" Q 0 Briefly, he saw no more of them; but,on reflection, he was not deeply concerned at this, for by going straightback home he could easily ascertain on the isle itself if his wife had indeed
arrived there.

It seemed impossible .. what earthly woman, going off in afreak as his wife had done, would have kept silence so long unless she had
returned to dust.. or, if indeed living, how should she bring herself to comeback to him now?
Nevertheless, he felt it to be his duty to ascertain what truth might lie inthis chance fancy .. and about a week later he stood once more at the footof the familiar steep whereon the houses of Slopeway Well were perched
like pigeons on a roof-side.
12 -15 O)~ 3 Jt~ -c'if~iJ'x.o

He pursued his inquiries as privately as possible, for his intention was
to make himself known here no more. As he had ceased since his lastresidence here to wear his beard in the island fashion, nobody recognised
him, though he had aged but little und~r the inactivity of twenty years.
Nothing had been heard of any such lady, the nearest approach to a visit

of the kind being that made by a woman whom a flyman had driven
over the island in search of a family now dead.

As this lady did not

answer to the description, and the persons she sought were bearers ofanother name, Pears ton concluded he had got to the bottom of the matterin considering it a casual correspondence only.
In returning to the town and station at eventide his attention was attracted by the busy doings around a quarry which lay at a distance on
his left; he observed several men on the spot whom he might recognise.
He was inclined to cross thither, feeling sure that the quarry was Ike
Pearston's, and stood looking in that direction, where the numerous black
hoisting-cranes scattered over the central plateau of the island had theappearance of a swarm of daddy-longlegs resting there.

The way acros's

was rugged, and nothing would be gained by making himself known.

Heproceeded on his way, having no real wish at present to encounter Avice's
husband or friends.
At the station he found he had to wait a little while.

Presently otherpeople who had come from Top 0' Hill (the summit of the rock was thus
called) also entered the booking-office, and they were talking reflectively
about an accident which had happened a week or two before.

The namethat caught his ear caused him to turn quickly to one of the quarrymen.
"Who do you say was killed?"

Pearston asked.

"Mr. Isaac Pearston-Castleway Pearston as we did call 'n-'cause there's so many Isaac Pearstons-was killed in his own quarry."
While Jocelyn stood silent at this intelligence the men went on conversing among themselves.
"I .said to 'en that morning, 'Don't th' stand there, for Heaven's sake!'
Born in a .quarry a'most, you'd ha' thought he'd ha' known, if anybody
would.

But he was a man who'd never listen to argument-that one

must say, though 'a's squatted.

He went away shortly after, and we didn't

expect to see 'en again that day.

But'a did come back, worse luck for'n;

and that was how it ended."More details of the catastrophe and circumstances of the victim's life
were given, from which Pearston gathered that though the A vice who had
once been his Avice was now a widow, she had friends and sympathisers

about her which would render any attention on his part at this juncture

The revived emotion detained him long and yet longer at this spot,
where he could see the island that was Avice's home lying like a greatsnail upon the sea across the bay. It was the spring of the year; local
steamers had begun to run, and he was never tired of standing on thethinly occupied deck of one of these as it skirted the island and revealed
to him on the cliffs far up its height the ruins of Red King Castle, behind
which the little village of East Wake lay.
Thus matters went on, if they did not rather stand still, for at least amonth before Pearston had the courage of his romanticism, and ventured
to seek out Avice. Even when he did go he was so afraid that he had
intruded upon her too soon as to approach with unwonted diffidence.

It was the little upper room at Mrs. Pearston's, now fitted up as an invalid's

chamber, wherein the widow was still reclining.

Though she did not sit

up, she was well enough to be left alone, and had been occupying herself
in sewing pieces of silk together, to form some fantastic article, suggestiveof a bazaar bargain or wedding present.

This needlework, however, layneglected beside her now, while, lost in thought, she gazed out of thewindow at the long up-Channel view which the situation of the houseafforded-not intentionally, but because such a prospect was unavoidable.
A rustling and bustling about, audibly proceeding in a neighbouring
chamber, together with the invalid's desertion, denoted that something
unusual was afoot, absorbing the whole strength of the domicile.

Presently

the accents of feminine voices, light and excited, mixed in with the rustling
movements; and then the. door of Mrs. Pearston's room, which had stoodajar, was pushed open, and Avice appeared before her mother's eyes.

Shesmiled as the matron regarded her, and, placing herself at the foot of thecouch, stood passively under scrutiny in a charmingly statuesque pose.
"Yes-it does very well," said the mother.

"Not too young-not too

old."
Avice was dressed for immediate marriage, and well she looked in the
habiliments chosen, which had been of a kind to suit the simple style
proposed for the ceremony and the bridegroom's maturity.

A walking-dress of dove-coloured silk and a bonnet of somewhat similar shade formed
the costume, which, despite its prettiness, was, for a bridal adornment, acruel toning down of youthful charms that would have done justice to theairiest tissues ever woven by art.
254

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

A vice's mother inquired if Mr. Pearston had arrived.
"No.... Yes-it is he," murmured Avice, as the noise of a vehicle coming
round by the wall of Dell-i'-th'-rock increased till it stopped at the door
below. In a few minutes footsteps briskly ascended the stairs, and Pearston,wearing a white waistcoat and flower, was shown into the sick-chamber.
He pressed the fingers of the invalid, the hand she gave being light anddiaphanous as a falling leaf, as thin as if cut out in paper. Avice, witha curious access of modesty, had stood somewhat behind the door, andshe vented a constrained little laugh when he kissed her on the cheek.
There was now only time to speak in business-like tones of the formal
matters in hand. Mrs. Pearston declared that she wished to be left byherself, since she was unable to go and give her daughter away; gloves
were then put on, and the couple descended the stairs. Below they werejoined by a few local friends, and soon Mrs. Pearston heard the bridal
party go off to the church on the western cliff.
The house sank into sunny silence, disturbed only by the faint noisesof the two servants in the kitchen and the chipping and sawing of thequarrymen afar.

Mrs. Pearston timed the party's absence by the clockon the mantel-five minutes to get along the crooked road through East
Wake, ten minutes longer going across to the west side of the isle toForne, where the church stood; the service, with entering, signing, andcoming out, half an hour, a quarter returning; about one hour altogether.
She had no compunctions about this marriage.

She felt perfectly surethat it was the best thing she could do for her girl. Not a young woman
in the island but was envying Avice at that moment, for Pearston was
still less than three-score-though, to be sure, not much less-a goodlooking man as yet, one whose history was generally known here; also
the exact figures of the fortune he had inherited from his father, and thesocial standing he could claim-a standing which that fortune would nothave been large enough to procure unassisted by his reputation in his art.
But Avice had been weak enough, as her mother knew, to indulge infancies for local youths from time to time; and Mrs. Pearston could not
help terrifying herself by the picture of a possible return of the wedding
party in consternation, declaring A vice recalcitrant at the last moment,255

and still no wife.

Yet to everyone, except, perhaps, Avice herself, Pearston

was the most romantic of lovers.

Indeed, was there ever such a romanceas that man embodied in his relations to her house?

Rejecting the first

A vice, the second had rejected him, and to decline upon the third withfinal achievement was an artistic and tender finish to which it was ungrateful in anybody to be blind.
The widow thought that, after all, the second Avice might not haverejected Pearston if destiny had not arranged that she should be secretly
united to another when the proposing moment came.
The su'nny pattern of the window-panes on the carpet had moved some
way onward; fifty-five minutes had passed; the vehicles could be heard
returning, and a little colour came into Mrs. Pearston's pale cheek. If it
were all right and done, what a success, upon the whole, her life would
have been!

She who had begun that life as a homely girl, a small

quarry-owner's daughter, had sunk to the position of laundress; had engaged
in various menial occupations; had made an unhappy marriage for love,
which had, however, in the long run much improved her position; wasat last to see her daughter established on a good level of affluence andrefinement; and yet not as the wife of a "kimberlin," but of one of theirown race and sympathies.
There was a flutter downstairs denoting the entry of the returned
personages, and she heard them approaching to ascend.
were ascending.

Two people

In a moment or two they entered the room-Pearston

and Avice together.

Each came forward and kissed her.

"All was got through easily and satisfactorily, without a single hitch! "cried Pearston.

"And here we are, a married couple, hastening up to

see you!""Have you been no worse all the time, mother?" asked A vice, withan anxious waiving of the chief subject.
Mrs. Pearston said she had been quite easy, and as Avice persisted in
keeping away from the event just concluded to talk of her mother's ailments, Jocelyn left them together.

When he had gone from the room

the widow said, "Now I am contented and thankful, my dear.
hope you are the same."

And I

"What-don't you like your husband?""Yes-I like him well enough.""Then have a contented mind.""I have, mother.':
The entry of friends put an end to further conversation of this kind,and there followed the usual accompaniments of a simple country wedding. The present tenants of Dell-i'-th'-rock Castle were among theguests, out of respect for Pearston and liking for their gentle governess.
In the afternoon the newly married ·couple drove over the crest of theisland, down the long, steep street of Slopeway Well (where they wererecognised by nearly everyone), and onward to the railway station at thefoot of the hill, whence they started for London.

His wife's corporeal frame was upstairs: where her spiritual part lurked
he could not tell.
At eleven o'clock he ascended also, and softly opened the chamber door.
Within he paused a moment.

Avice was asleep, and his intent ear caught

a sound of a little gasping sigh every now and then between her breathings.

When he moved forward his light awoke her; she started up as if

from a troublous dream, and regarded him with something in her open
eye and large pupils that was not unlike dread. It was so unmistakablethat Pears ton felt half paralysed, coming, as it did, after thoughts not

too assuring; and, placing his candle on the table, he sat down on the
couch at the foot of the bed. All of a sudden he felt that he had nomoral right to go further. He had no business there.
He stayed and stayed, sitting there in his dressing-gown till the candle
had burnt low; she became conscious of his silence, and said, "You rather
startled me when you came in."<C O){kfe~ ffB5.Hl. III. - iv. 37":' 54 /~ '717' '77 fe, .~®: L.. -C~:b.ttQo" I am sorry, " said Pearston, "you looked as if you didn't like my coming."" Did I?

I didn't know that."" Avice, I am going to tell you something, if you are not too sleepy.""0, no, I am not sleepy.""I was once your mother's lover, and wanted to marry her-only she
wouldn't, or couldn't, marry me.""How very strange!" said Avice, now thoroughly awake. "Mother has
never told me that. Yet, of course you might have been-you are quite
old enough.""0, yes, quite old enough!" he said grimly.

"Almost too old.""Too old for poor mother?" she said musingly. "How's that?""Because I rightly belonged to your grandmother.""No! How can that be?"I

"I was her lover likewise.

Why, how old

relic in human form.
himself.

Pearston saw this; but he did not mean to spare

In a sudden access of remorse he was determined to pursue this tothe bitter end-carried on by a wave of revolt against the curse of neverbeing allowed to grow old.

"Your mother's and your grandmother's lover," he repeated.
" And were you my great-grandmother's too?" she 'asked, with an ex259

pectant interest that had overcome her personal feeling as his wife.
"No; not your great-grandmother's."

He winced at that question, un-refiectingly as it had been put, perceiving that his information, superadded toher previous sentiments, had already operated damagingly.

He went on, how-ever, to repeat with a dogged calm: "But I am very old.""I did not know it was so much! " she said, in an appalled murmur.
"You do not look so, and I thought that what you looked you were."" No; I am very old," he unnecessarily reiterated.

"And you-you arevery young."
A silence followed, his candle burnt still lower; he was waiting for her tosleep, but she did not. Amid so much difference in their accidents there wasmuch resemblance in their essentials; he was as sympathetically nervous asshe, and the mere air itself seemed to bring him the knowledge that she lay
in a state of tension which was indescribably more distressing than pain.

He knew that his cause was lost with her by his exaggerating theircontrasts.

The verge of division, on which they long had trembled, she

had at last crossed.

Pearston noiselessly arose, took up his candle, andwent out of the room.

He had an impression that he might never again

enter that chamber.
He lay down in an adjoining room, and instead of sleeping tried again
to conjecture what had disturbed Avice, and, through her, himself, somuch as to drive him to court disaster.

There seemed to be something

uncanny about London in its effect upon his marriage.

He began tohate the grimy city and his new house and his new studio, and to wish
he had not re-established himself so elaborately there.

The momentary

defiance of his matrimonial fate which had led him to speak as he haddone in his wife's room now passed away, and he hoped again.
To take her back to his and her own native spot for a few weeks
seemed the most promising course for shaking off this nightmare which
sat upon them here.

Her mother's persuasive powers might reconcile

Avice to her new position when nothing else would, notwithstanding theunfortunate indiscretion of which in his despair he had been guilty, thatof revealing his past attachments.

A good practical reason for their

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

return thither existed in the incomplete condition of their house-furnishing
here, and in the still unmending state of his mother-in-law. Dell-i'-th'rock Castle was now, unfortunately, occupied by a permanent tenant, butthere were some lodgings near which he thought he might easily obtain.
When he encountered Avice the next morning there was a trace of
surprise in her face, but the distant, apprehensive look had not altogether
departed.

Yet he would have sacrificed everything-his artistic reputation

itself-to give her pleasure.

He feared that the conversation of the previ-

ous night had established her to regard him as a fearful curiosity; but
regrets were too late now.

He disclosed his proposition to run down totheir old place.
" When?" she asked~" Soon.

Say to-day.

I don't like being here among these packing-cases,

and the quicker we get away the better.""I shall be glad to go," she said.

"Perhaps mother is not so well,and I should like to be near her."
Whatever had upset her, then, it had nothing to do with locality.
Pearston thereupon gave sufficient directions for the further garnishing of
his town house, and in the afternoon they set out for the south-west by
the familiar railway. Pearston stopped at Budmouth for that night, sendingon his wife to her mother's home in the isle, where he promised to join
her the next day.
It was the first time they had slept under different roofs since theirmarriage; and when she was gone, and the charm of her personality was
idealised by lack of the substance, he felt himself far less able to bear
the thought of an estrangement than when her corporeal presence afforded
trifling marks for criticism.

And yet, concurrently, the conviction grew

that, whatever the rights with which the civil law had empowered him,
by no law of nature, of reason, had he any right to partnership with
A vice against her evident will.
The next day he set out for the island, longing, yet dreading, to see
her again.

No sooner had he reached the top of the hill and passed theforking of the ways than he discerned in the distance, on the way he had
not taken, a form which was unmistakably that of his wife, apparently
261

out on some trifling errand.

To go back, take the other road, and join

her lest she should miss him, was the obvious thing to do; yet he stood
like one enervated, will-bereft, and ashamed.

As he stood a man cameup, and, noticing his fixity, regarded him with attention.
" A tidy little figure-of-fun that, Sir," said the man.
" Yes.

A dainty little creature, like a fairy.... Now, would you assert,

my friend, that a man has a right to force himself into her presence at
all times and seasons, to sit down at her table, to take her hither andthither-all against her liking?""No, sure.""I thought so.

And yet a man does it; for he has married her."" Oh ! She's his wife! That's a hoss of another colour. Ha, ha, ha!""I don't think it is,'" said Pearston.
The pedestrian disappeared, and Pearston, still glancing across thequarries at the diverging road, saw that Avice had perceived him, andwas standing still, expecting his approach.

He climbed over the low

side-wall and traversed the open ground to her side.

Her young faceshowed anxiety, and he knew that something had happened.
"I have been looking for you," she said.

"I didn't exactly know thetime you were coming, or I should have sent somebody to meet the train.
Mother has suddenly got so much worse; it seems almost as though mycoming had caused it, b)lt it cannot be that, of course, because she is so
glad.

I am afraid-I am so much afraid she may not live!

in her has quite shocked me.

The change

You would hardly know her.

And shehas kept it from us that she was not so well, because she would not
disturb our happiness.

Happiness;"

The last word might have been construed in its relation to her motheror to herself.

Pearston was in a mood to suffer anything now, and he

did not mind which way she had intended it.

They hastened onward

together-that is, side by side-with a lineal yard between them, for she
was never too ready to take his arm; and soon reached the house at
East Wake.
Mrs. Pearston the elder was evidently sinking.

The hand she gave him,

which had formerly been as thin as a leaf, was now but a cobweb.

SheThe Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

was mentally quite at ease, and murmured to him that it was her great
comfort and thankfulness to feel that her child was well provided for in
the possession of such a good and kind husband.
Avice, her daughter, could not leave the house at night in such circumstances, and, no room being ready for the reception of them as a couple,
Pearston left his wife by her mother's side and went out to a lodging
near at hand; accident thus making easy of continuance the constraint
in their relations which had begun in London.
CHAPTER XXIX.
THE ELUSIVENESS CONTINUES.
Pears ton felt that he certainly had tried to be good and kind to the littlesylphlike thing he called his wife.

He had been uniformly attentive andcourteous, had presented her with every pretty trifle and fancy in the
shape of art-works, jewellery, clothing, furniture, that money could buy;
had anticipated her every wish and whim in other ways. But whether
the primal act of marrying her had been goodness and kindness was open
to question.
The mother's life was prolonged but a very few days after this; andthey buried her not far from the spot where Avice the First had beenlaid, in that old churchyard over the western cliffs, which was like aminiature forest of oolite, the plethora of freestone in the locality placing
a carved memorial within the reach of all. It seemed to Pears ton but aseason or two earlier that he had stood there in the dusk after the firstinterment, when the vision of the then daughter appeared, to pull him
back to youth anew.
This sad office being performed he hastened up to town, leaving Avice
in her mother's late residence, which they now adopted as their own
country cottage. She liked remaining there, she said, and, having takencare that she should have every attention, he did not hurry back to herside.

A feeling which many people might have called' Quixotic was

acquiring such strength in him as to make future relations with hischarming prize a perplexing problem to a man whose pursuits had taught
him to regard impressions and sentiments as more cogent than legal

rights, and humours as more cogent than reasons.
It was, therefore, not until nearly a month had passed-during which

he had endeavoured to stifle his disappointment at being only the nominal
protector of Avice by attending to many long-neglected things-that hefound himself one evening at the seaport whence the run into the peninsula was by a short line of railway.

Nine o'clock, however, had struck,and the last train had left twenty minutes earlier.

He felt stiff and chilly

with sitting in the London train so long, and, telegraphing to Avice toexpect him late, resolved to walk to her home by the old road, which
he had not pursued for many, many years, and which now lay bleachedby the moonlight.
His course was over the bridge and through the old town, afterwards
skirting the cliffs, till there arose on his left hand, gaunt and bare against
the sea, the Tudor castle ruins where he had met his own particular third
Avice some time ago, the second Avice earlier; where he would have met
the first, and, but for chance, have shaped for himself and the two othersa different history.

He duly crossed the long framed and braced wooden

bridge, its whiteness intensified now by the rays, after which there lay
before him the long, featureless road within the pebble barrier thatscreened it from the outer sea.

The bay within lifted and dropped

placidly under the moon; the pebble bank ran straight ahead, diminishingin a haze, above which swelled the vast rock that the line of pebbles

traversed in the rain beside the woman whom he had rashly married in
his first youth and inexperience.
He had reached about halfway between the island and the main shore
when a black spot appeared by the road in front of him, hitherto
absolutely deserted.

Drawing forward, he found the object to be only

the figure of a man sitting upon the bank, his face towards the moonlight.
This was strong enough to show Pearston as he passed by that his fellowpedestrian was a young man of apparently five-and-twenty, with a curly
dark moustache.

Pearston said " Good-night!" and a reply was returned

to him in an accent which was not that of an Englishman.
the voice was faint and shaken.

Pearston halted.

Moreover,The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved"I hope you are not ill," he said.

"I am unwell," said the foreigner.
"Going my way?""Yes.""Then let me help you onward." 'He approached and assisted the stranger, who rose with some difficulty.
He was a well-dressed, gentlemanly young fellow, and beside where hehad been sitting a white handkerchief lay upon the dry pale pebbles, thehandkerchief being stained with what appeared to be blood.
"Have you been coughing?" said Pearston.
"No. I crossed this morning from Havre, and the seasickness brought
on a slight haemorrhage. It is not serious.""I am not so sure about that," said Pearston.
He took the young man's arm, and together they pursued the remainderof the level way to the foot of the isle, where began the little town of
Slopeway Well.
"How do you feel now?" Pearston asked.

"Can I take you to any

house or person?""No, no; I thank you," the stranger replied.

"I have lodgings here,

which I secured by letter; but I missed the train, or I should have beenin them by this time. I am much better now, and require no more
attention.

For that you have given me receive my deepest thanks andcourtesies. ""Well, accept my stick, at any rate-you will get along better, if it is
only a few steps."
This the young man did, and they parted. There was not a fly left at
the station, and, seeing that he would have to walk the' remainder of the
distance, Pearston entered an inn a few yards up the street to get some
simple refreshment by which he might fortify himself for the ascent.
When he came out the young man had disappeared.
It was a pleasure indeed to Pearston when, drawing near to the house

which was now again his own dear home, he beheld a little figure standing
against the door, and presumably awaiting him. Avice, for it was she,dutifully allowed him to kiss her when he reached her side, though her

nervousness, only too apparent, was that of a child towards a parent who
may prove stern.
While seated indoors at a supper of a more appetising character than
the inn had supplied, he became aware that Avice had left the room.
Thinking that she had gone upstairs to supervise preparations for his
accommodation, he sat on quietly musing and sipping his glass forsomething like half an hour.

Wondering then, for the first time, what

had become of her, he rose suddenly and began looking around.

She

was quite near him, after all; only standing at the front door as she had
been doing when he arrived, gazing into the moonlight.

But she wasagitated now, unmistakably.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I must go and see somebody who is ill-I feel I ought to go!

Andyet-as you have just come-I suppose you don't approve of my goingout.""Who is the person ? "She did, not give any name.
indefinitely.

"Somebody down that way," she said

"I only heard of it just now.

It is not very far to thehouse.""If you really wish to go, my dear, of course I don't object.

I will sit

and await your coming back, if you prefer to go alone."
Avice replied by instantly taking advantage of the offer-putting on a
hat and cloak and starting forthwith.

In leaving him she glanced at

him for a moment, as if expecting him to ask a further question.

But

Pearston refrained.
He continued alone, thinking how entirely her manner was that of one
to whom a question of doing anything was merely a question of permission and not of judgment.

When she had been gone some little while,

he observed that it was getting rather late.

How absured of her, hethought, not to let him accompany her at such an hour!

At length, ina state bordering on irritation, he rose, and went out look for her.
There was no sign of her returning along the road, though he strolled
on so far as to the bend round by the north entrance of Dell-i'-th'-rockCastle. Reaching that entrance he stood still under the trees and wall,

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

being unsure by which way to expect her, and the spot commanding thelength of the village street or highway.
He was not aware how entirely invisible he had been standing till heperceived two figures-one a man, walking by the aid of a stick, theother a woman, from whom the man also derived some assistance. The
place was deserted, and their voices could be heard, though not the words
they were saying. The man spoke in a French accent, and he was obviously the young invalid whom Pearston had assisted along the shore.
The woman was weeping. Her accents were so low and the fact wasso far from his expectation that Pearston did not at first dream of her
being his wife.

Then he had a suspicion, and, as they had turned thecorner, he felt justified in following them.
They passed at the same slow pace down the lane or gorge leading tothe old castle ruins.

A heart-sickness had well-nigh prostrated the un-

happy Pearston by this time: he was no nearer to the third Avice thanhe had been to the second and the first.
They reached the corner of the Red King's Castle, where there weresome large blocks of loose rock, carved with the initials of natives of past
generations. "Do you think it well to go farther?" asked the woman, as
if she were anxious that he should return.
"I fear I cannot;" he said.
Pearston was now sure that Avice was the young man's companion,and standing under the sheer face of the rock he found that it reflected
their words.
"Why did you come, after being away so long?

How could I help

thinking you had given up all wish to-do what we planned, and had
decided to stay in your own country?"
The wind interfered for a moment; then he heard her repeat, like awounded bird, "Why did you come, Henri, after being absent so long,and bring me and yourself into such trouble as this?"
Her notes of anguish so moved Pearston that he sank his jealousy inpity of her. Whatever had happened, it had been against her will andexpectation.
She soon remarked anxiously that she could not stay longer, and beggedher companion to seek the rest he needed. Pearston was obliged to remain
where he was till they had gone past.
"I am sorry I have no right to offer you shelter in my house," she said.
"But it is not because my husband is come that I may not to this.

I feel

I must not-ought not-even though you are so ill as to make it almost
inhuman!

0, it is' hard for you, Henri: but what can I do!"

"It is not necessary.

I have a lodging quite near, where I can stay till

to-morrow, and then I can get back to the station; and then-I will see
you no more-if it is your command.""It is-it must be," said she.
They crept slowly back as far as to the north entrance of Dell-i'-th'-rock,where their ways parted.
"Then I sha'n't see you again?" he said, facing her, and leaning on
Pears ton's stick.
"How can you!""I see your reason well enough, but it is no consolation to me. Whata blow!

Who could expect it? To come so far, and to be so disappointed!

You broke an implicit promise, Avice, even if not a verbal one!"" Don't reproach me, Henri!

There, I am going!

It would have grieved my

Can 'you really walk back?"

Perhaps he kissed her-more than once; perhaps he did not.

There

were sniffings and sighings at least, and the young man went along thenorth road.

Avice stood awhile watching his feeble gait; then, as if she

could bear it no longer, walked wildly towards her own house.
CHAPTER XXX.
HE BECOMES RETROGRESSIVE.
Meanwhile, Pearston had entered the gate of the new castle precincts,
and, knowing the grounds well, hastened across them inside the wall to
the gate opening near their dwelling.

He had just time to slip over theway and reach the porch before she arrived round by the regular road.
"Where have you been so long, Avice?" sternly asked the man ofnine-and-fifty.

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved"I will tell you," said Sweet-and-Twenty, with breathless humility. "Ihave kept you up, haven't I? And you so tired! I could not help it, as
you will say when I explain."
She accompanied him indoors, sat down without removing her hat or
cloak, and went on to him, as he seated himself opposite.

They, too, objected to his marrying.

He then wrote to say hewould not bind me, but if he did get rich and independent he would
let me know.

As he didn't get richer, he was too honourable to write

to me.""Why did he come back, then?""He said he couldn't help it, because he kept thinking of me!" shemurmured.

"I wish he hadn't come!

But I am rightly punished forthinking he could ever forget me!... There was not time for me tohinder his coming, and he didn't know how matters were till we stoodface to face."
Pearston could not help picturing the scene of the meeting of the two
young things and the moment of her sad announcement, under the lightof the moon.
"He'll go away to-morrow," she pleaded, "and I shall never see him
any more!

I hope you'll forgive me, Sir.

I am sure not to see him

again, because-because, if he reaches home alive, he'll soon die!"
Avice had spoken with great self-command up to this moment, but
her firmness gave way, and she burst into a violent fit of weeping.
"I can't-help crying-I know I ought not to-but I loved him very
much, and he loved me!

The resultsof this marriage were beginning to be bad enough for him; but his was,at worst, a negative grief.

What is he like?

he had been too ill I should have nursed him-seeing how he is alone

kissing her forehead in pure sympathy, as if she were a child under his
care.

Then he hastily went out-to smoke and think, he told her.

In the open space before the house he walked up and down, the prospect eastward being bounded by the distance-line of the sea; so faintly
and delicately drawn, yet the most permanent of features in the prospect.
On the other side of him rose the front of his wife's home. There wasnow a light in her chamber-window, showing that she had retired forthe night.

The longer he looked the less was he able to escape theconviction that he was the kill-joy of that young life.

To any man it

would have been an uneasy consideration; to him it was a double andtreble gloom of responsibility; for this life was the quintessence of his
own past life, the crowning evolution of the idea expressed by the 'word"Avice," typifying the purest affection it had ever been his lot toexperience.
It was certainly an age of barbarism in which he lived; since, what-ever were his honest wish to right this ill matter, he could not do it.
More, a formal legal ceremony gave him the power at this moment, orat any other, to force his presence upon that suffering girl.
Instead of re-entering Pearston walked along the few hundred yards
to the Green Mermaid. A light, too, was in an upper room of the smallinn.

He wondered if it were Henri's bed-room, and entered the house,
27 1though it was on the point of being closed.
To his inquiry of the landlord, a home-come sailor, if a gentleman hadtaken a room there, an affirmative was returned.

all."
The sailor went upstairs, and on returning said that Mr. Mons Leverre
would be glad to see him.

Pearston found his way to the chamber wherepoor young "Mons" (as he had used to be called in Budmouth, fromthe appearance of his name on the doorplate) welcomed him feebly fromhis pillow.

A handsome young man with a silken moustache and black

curly hair, he seemed little more than Avice's age, though he was probably
older, his large anxious eyes and nervous temperament subtracting somewhat from his years.

Having resided in this country with few interrup-

tions since he was fifteen, his English was nearly as good as Pearston's.
"I come as a friend," said the latter.

"We met an hour or two ago,

The young man confusedly replied that he had felt better since lying
down, and his visitor said that he would send a doctor on the morrow,
if only for his own satisfaction.
"But, Sir; why should you be anxious about me?"
"Never mind that.

Now tell me frankly-Did you come from yourown country on purpose to see A vice? ""Yes; but, Heaven!

He turned his face away to the wall, and murmured tohimself his regrets.
"Well, don't think too much of that just at present. If you would
like to see her again she shall come with me to-morrow."" You are very kind!" cried the young man, turning back to Pearston
and seizing his hand.
27 2"Let me see her once-once only!

I would not

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

wish to see her but once!

I shall be well in a day or two. I shall leave.

I will never inconvenience you or her, Sir, any more afterwards."
Pearston bade him compose himself, ensured that he should be wellattended. to, and paced back sadly to his own house, where he glanced
up at the window-blind that had been illuminated when he left. It wasin darkness now. He strained his eyes back towards the inn: that, too,
was dark.

How wrong it was that there should stand a barrier, hard as

the stone isle itself, between a heart in that house and a heart in this!
Having entered he wrote a note to the local surgeon, asking him tocall at the Green Mermaid in the morning, and left it on the hall tablewith a direction t:p.at it should be delivered early. Then he went softly
upstairs, and listened at the door of her room. She was not asleep, andhe heard her gasp and start when he accidentally brushed against thehandle. Pearston moved onward to the adjoining chamber, and what
he sighed to himself might have been aptly paraphrased by two lines
from "Troilus and Cressida"J had good argument for kissing once,

But that's no argument for kissing now.
Why should he not play the benign giant to these two dwarfs, as they
were in their emotional history, with. its one little year of love-tempest
to his forty years of the same? Because by that act of charity he would
break the laws and ordinances.
CHAPTER XXXI.
THE MAGNANIMOUS THING.
It was in the full sunshine of next morning that the mock-married couple

walked towards the inn. A vice looked up fearfully at her husband fromtime to time. She could not understand her lord and master in any
other character than that of lording and mastering her. Her father'sbearing towards her mother had been only too often of that quality.
When they were reaching the inn-door the surgeon appeared on thethreshold, coming out. Pearston said to his wife: "Henri Leverre is tobe spoken of as a friend of ours, mind. Nobody will suspect your former
rela tions."
On inquiry the doctor informed them that his patient was restless.
273

The hremorrhage was from the stomach-the direct result of sea-sickness
on predisposing conditions.

He would have to be taken care of, andwith such care there was no reason why the malady should recur.

He

could bear removal, and ought to be removed to a quieter place.
The young man was sitting up in bed gazing dreamily through thewindow at the stretch of quarries and cranes it commanded.
of Avice behind Pearston he blushed painfully.

At sight

Avice blushed with equal

distress; and her husband went and looked out of the window.
When he turned his head the sorely tried pair had recovered someapparent equanimity.

She had, in fact, whispered to her lover: "Myhusband knows everything.

I told him-I felt bound to do so!

Hetrusts us, assuming that we have no other intention but to part for ever;
and we must act up to his expectations."
The conversation of the three was impersonal and fiat enough: on thestate of France, on the profession of teachers of languages.

Yet Pears ton

could not resist an interest in the young man, which deepened every
moment.

He was a transparency, a soul so slightly veiled that the outershaped itself to the inner like a tissue.

At one moment he was like thepoet Keats, at another like Andrea del Sarto.

The latter, indeed, seemed

to have returned to earth in him, the same poetry of mien being set amid
the same weaknesses.
In a solicitude for Henri Leverre which was almost paternal Jocelyn
could well-nigh sink his grief at being denied the affection of Avice.
That afternoon he obtained quiet lodgings for the young man in a houseacross the way, and had him removed thither.
Every day Pears ton visited the patient here, sometimes taking Avice
with him, though she always shrank from the ordeal.

To all outward

seeming, Pearston was making a mistake by acting thus; but his conduct,
begun in waywardness as a possible remedy by surfeit for the malady ofthe two unhappy ones, had been continued on other grounds, arisingfrom sympathy with them during the process.
"You think his recovery may now be reckoned on?" he said to thedoctor one day.
"Yes-from the haemorrhage.
274

But mentally he is not at rest.

He is

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

unhappy, and that keeps him back. Something worries or grieves him.
These foreigners are much given to that. I gather that he has quarrelledwith his parents, and the thought of it may depress him."
It suddenly struck Pearston that Avice had begun to look wan andleaden-eyed.

He met her only at meals and during walks, on whichoccasions she always looked up at him with misgiving, as if his plan ofnever obtruding himself upon her were the illusive beginning of someterrible scheme of vengeance upon her for loving illegally.
He was, in fact, pondering a scheme.
But the scheme which Pearston pondered was of a very different naturefrom any sultanicdetermination to bring punishment upon the head of
his unhappy bride.
After casting about desperately for relief to his lately awakened natural
or moral sense, which began to be oppressed by the present most improper
situation ruling between himself and Avice-licensed as it might be byengrossings, fees, stamps, and ceremonies-he had come to a conclusion.
He could not wean her by surfeit of the sick man; that was obvious.
And with the loss of this woman, his third Avice, he had not much left
in his life to care for. Pleasant illusions had one by one been dissipated;he could see the black framework where the flaring jets of the illumination had once dazzled his eyes; and the chief satisfaction remaining to
him now was that a man finds in setting his house in order before
departure.
Pearston was an artist, not a moralist, and his plan was characteristicof his nature. It was based on the idea of resuscitating his first wife,
Marcia, in spirit and seeming, since he had never received definite tidingsof her decease. Thirty years of silence had left him and others no moral
doubt of her death, but he had never received legal testimony of theevent. It was by the channel of escape this offered him that he proposed
to restore his Avice, whom he loved better than himself, to approximate
happiness. Since his marriage with her was a farce, why not treat it asa farce by playing another to match it?
Coming down to breakfast one morning as usual he found Avice awaiting
him with that forlorn and hopeless smile of greeting upon her face which275

cut his heart like a lash; and he was stimulated to take the first step inher deliverance.
"As our relations are not what-I hoped they might have been," hesaid as he sat down, "the news I have to tell you will not disturb yourmind so much as may be expected by other people.

You will remember,of course, how before our marriage we went into the question of my firstwife Marcia's existence, and decided that it was quite impossible sheshould be living, though she was never proved to be dead.""Yes," murmured Avice.

And thereupon a strange light seemed torise and colour her face, such as sometimes comes over a landscape when
there are no direct rays to cause it.

"I have reason to think the probability insufficient.
ascertain her death beyond shadow of doubt.

That I ought to

I am going to send tele-grams to the Western States of America and elsewhere, directing searchfor her by advertisement.

I shall probably start thither myself soon-

journeying first to Salt Lake City. If I find her I shall never come backnever!"A pause succeeded, in which the noises of their breakfasting seemed
obtrusive.
"If you-don't find her?" said Avice then.

"I shall never come back in that case either."She gazed up at him.
"In any case I will send you directions what to do.

You will go on

living here on your own freehold, of course, till you hear from me. Not
living alone: I will find some suitable companion for you .... And, when
you find you are no wife of mine, you must promise me one thing: tomarry that lover of yours.

He will soon recover, and I will make itworth his while to wed you, in every sense.""But I may not find I am no""I am certain-from premonitions and other perceptions, which I will
not enter into now-I am morally certain that you will find yourself
free.

What I more precisely wish you to promise is to marry Henripromptly, without delay, immediately that you find yourself free."276

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved"I do promise," she said humbly.
Notwithstanding the wilfully conjectural basis of the proposition Pearston
seemed to take it as a definite scheme which would work itself out infact, and work out well.

He seemed to possess, concealed in his mind,

certain means of effectuation beyond mere chances.
"Now go and tell the sick man what has been the subject of our talk,"
he added kindly.
"You will go with me, Sir?""No, not this time. You may go alone now."
In about an hour she returned, looking flushed with a startling, dreadfulsense of ecstasy.

She seemed trying to hide from herself the reason why.

What ground had her husband for this sudden conviction?

He musthave had letters.
He met her at the door, where a fly was standing. "I am going up
to town again for a few days," he said. "On my way through Budmouth
I will get a quiet young person I know of there to come and stay withyou. Good-bye!"Pearston entered the fly.

Opposite the door of Henri's lodgings hestopped and inquired how Mr. Leverre was.
"He's wonderful improved since Mrs. Pears ton called. I went up justafter, and his face had quite a colour-quite healthy like."
Whether the woman thought it odd that Mrs. Pearston should havebeen able to come and produce this mental effect, Jocelyn did not careto ascertain, and, re-entering the vehicle, drove on.
CHAPTER XXXII.
THE PURSUIT ABANDONED.
His return was delayed till eighteen or twenty days had passed, and on
his way back over the isle to Avice's house he drew up at Leverre's
lodgings as he had done on his departing journey.

The young man wasin the parlour reading. He appeared bright, and advanced in convalescence. After Pearston's preliminary inquiries the young man with almost
childish ingenuousness motive said, "Have you heard, Sir, of""I have still further evidence that Avice will soon be free."277

"A formal decree of nullity will be necessary to complete her freedom?""No, no.

I stay in these lodgings for a day or two, andwill have my things sent here.

Your landlady has probably told youthat I wrote to her, and that she has let to me the parlour opposite tothis for the few days I shall be here in the isle before starting for good.""You have had more specific information, Sir?""I have almost indubitable proof that-Avice will be free before long.
I shall rejoin my wife as soon as I reach my journey's end.

I know,beyond any moral doubt, where she is."" You do, Sir!

Where? ""I won't say, for certain reasons.

But I am going there.""Salt Lake City?""No-not Salt Lake City .... You know, Henri," he continued after apause, and his lower lip quivered as he spoke, "if Avice had loved me,
as I foolishly thought she might get to do, I should have-turned up no
old stones to hide under.

But she loved you, I found; and to me healthy

So I sheer

Leverre looked anxious for clearer explanations, but he did not question
further.

Pearston-whose worn and dried-up face now fully indexed hisage, and indeed more than his age, continued calmly" Henri-as I may call you-I wish, as you will believe, above all things
that Avice may be happy in spite of this unfortunate marriage with me.

With that, and her beauty, she'll soon be snapped up by some worthy
man who pities her abnormal position.""Sir, I love her-I love her dearly.

undertaking on the contingency? If she becomes free, you will be herhusband if she consents?""I have said so," he replied fervently.
"You may set about your preparations at once," said Pears ton, withforced gaiety.

"I go to join my truant wife of thirty years ago.""0 that you may find her!""That's right. Express your feelings honestly.

1 like young men who

do so."
That night Pearston sat down and wrote a long letter to the only old
friend he had in the world, among so many acquaintances-Alfred Somers,
the landscape-painter"My dear Somers"You in your evenly flowing life will be surprised to hear of what has
been taking place in my rugged one-inwardly rugged, 1 mean, which is
the true ruggedness."
He thereupon proceeded to give a succinct account of what had happened since his marriage with Avice, of which event Somers was awan"
having, in fact, been invited to the ceremony, though he had not foundit possible to come.

First, the coldness of his young wife, which he had

supposed it to be a mere question of time to displace; his lack of any
suspicion that in such a remote and quiet existence she h(l.d learnt thetrick of having a lover before she was eighteen years old; his discovery of
his mistake through the return of the young man to claim her, and thewhole incidents which followed.
"Now," proceeded Pearston, "some husbands, I suppose, would havesent the young man about his business, and put the young woman underlock-and-key till she came to her senses.

This was what I could not do.
279

At first I felt it to be a state of things for which there was no remedy.
But I considered that to allow everything to remain in statu quo was inanimate, unhuman conduct, worthy only of a vegetable.

It was not only

being indifferent to my own poor scrap of future happiness, which mattered little, but to hers.

And I soon entered with interest, and even withzest, into an apparently, though not really, wild scheme, which has recommended itself to me.

This is no less than assuming the existence of

my wife Marcia, of whose death, as you know, there has never beenabsolute proof, unless you consider that not having heard her voice formore than thirty years to be absolute proof of the death of a termagant
spouse.

Cases of this kind, if you analyse them, turn on very curious

points.

My marriage with Avice is valid if I have a reasonable belief in

my first wife's death.

Now, what man's belief is fixed, and who shallenter into my mind and say what my belief is at any particular time?
The moment I have a reasonable belief that Marcia lives Avice is not mywife, it seems to me.

I have only therefore to assume that belief anddisappear, and she is free.

That is what I have decided to do.

"Don't attack me for casuistry, artifice, for contumelious treatment of
the laws of my country.

A law which, in a particular instance, results inphysical cruelty to the innocent deserves to be evaded in that instance if
it can be done without injury to anyone.

I want the last of the three

women, the last embodiment of Avice, to be happy at any cost, and thisis the only way of making her so, that I can see.

The only detail in myplan that I feel sorry for having been compelled to adopt is the sendingof bogus telegrams and advertisements, to prevent my darling's suspicionof unreality.

Poor child! but it is for her good.

"During the last three weeks I have been arranging my affairs, andshall now disappear for ever from England.

My life probably will not belong anywhere, it cannot be very long in the nature of things, and it
matters very little where I say my Nunc Dimittis.
"I shall probably find some kind and simple old nurse body or housekeeper on the other side of the Atlantic, whom I can ask to share myhome, and call her Marcia, so as to make it all seem right if any intelligence of my state of existence should be wafted across to this side.

clinch the pious fraud I may think it worth while to send the child Avice
a cabinet photograph of this old soul and myself in one picture, in which
I appear standing behind her chair with my hand on her shoulder, in theorthodox fashion of the irrevocably united.
"Destroy this decument, for Avice's sake.
"My sincere regard and affection to you and all your household.
"J. P."
This was duly posted by himself that evening in the little letter-box in
the village square.
He went home to bed. Everything was done, even to the packing of
his portmanteau. Nothing remained for him but to depart-to an exile
on one of the four quarters of the globe, telegraph that he had found thelost one, and be heard of in this isle no more.
But as he lay he asked himself, did he care for the additional score ofyears which might, at the outside, be yet owing to him from Nature onsuch conditions as these?

The taedium vitae-formerly such a stranger tohim, latterly grown familiar-seemed to intensify to violent disgust. Suchan ending to his little drama as he had ostensibly sketched on Avice's
behalf-was there not too distinct an attempt in it to save his useless self
as well as to save her?
His heaviness endured far into the night, and there was no sign of " joycoming in the morning." At two o'clock he arose and dressed himself.
Then, sitting down, he penned a second letter to the same friend.
"My dear Somers"When I posted to you the letter I wrote a few hours ago, I assumed
that I had the spirit and strength and desire to carry through an ingenious device for human happiness, which I would have entered on with thelightest of hearts forty years ago, or even twenty. But my assumption

What that is you will know in"J. P."

a few hours.
It was now half-past two.

Pearston's next action was to search his

pocket and open his card-case; but finding no card therein he wrote hisname and address on the first piece of paper that came to hand, and put
it in the case.

Next, taking out his purse, he emptied some portion of

its contents into another piece of paper, which he folded round the money,
and placed on the table, directing it to his landlady, with the words,"For rent and small bills." The remainder he rolled up in yet anotherpiece of paper, and directed that to a lo.cal charitable institution.
He referred to an almanac, examining the tide-table.

From this hegathered that the tide was now at about the half-flow, and it suited him
fairly well.
Then he went out of the room, listening at his neighbour's door as hepassed.

The young man was sleeping peacefully.

Pearston descended thestairs and went out, closing the door softly behind him.
The night was not so dark as he had expected it to be, and the unresting and troubled being went along the road without hesitation till hereached a well-known lonely house on the right hand beyond the new
castle-the farthest that way.

This house contained the form which was

of revenge now.

Pearston paused before

Time was having his turnOf all the shapes into which the Beloved one had entered

she had chosen to remain in this, whose owner was utterly averse to him.
The place and these thoughts quicked his determination; he paused nolonger, but turned back by the way he had come, till he reached thepoint near the north gate of the new castle, where the lane to the ruinof the old castle branched off.

This he followed as it wound down the

narrow defile spanned by the castle arch, a portion of which defile was,doubtless, the originalfosse of the fortress.

The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved

The sound of his own footsteps flapped back to him from the verticalfaces of the rock. A little farther and he emerged upon the open summitof the lower cliffs, to his right being the sloping pathway leading down
to the little creek at their base.
Pears ton descended, knowing the place so well that he found it scarcely
necessary to guide himself down by touching the vertical face of stone
on his right hand. Thus proceeding he arrived at the bottom, and trod
the few yards of shingle which here alone could be found on this side of
the island. Upon this confined beach there were drawn up two or threefishing-boats and a few skiffs, beside them being a rough slipway forlaunching. One of the latter he pushed down the slope, floated it, andjumped into it without an oar.
The currents hereabout were strong and complicated.

At a specificmoment in every flood tide there set in along the shore a reflux contrary
to the outer flow, called" the Southern" by the local sailors. It was produced by the peculiar curves of the coast lying east and west of the Beal;these bent southward in two back streams the up-Channel flow on eachside of the isle, which two streams united outside the Beal and there met
the direct tidal flow, the confluence of the three currents making thesurface of the sea at this point to boil like a pot, even in calmest weather.
It is called the Race.

Although the outer tide, therefore, was running towards the mainland,the "Southern" ran in full force towards the Beal and the Race beyond.
Pearston's boat was caught by it in a few moments, as he had known it
would be; and thereupon the grey rocks rising near him, and the grimstone forehead of the isle above, just discernible against the sky, slid away
fromPearston northwards.
He lay down in the bottom of the frail craft, gazing at the sky above.
The undulations increased in magnitude, and swung him higher and lower.
The boat rocked, received a smart slap of the waves now and then, gyrated;so that the lightship, which stolidly winked at him from the quicksandthe single object which told him his bearings-was sometimes on his righthand and sometimes on his left.

Nevertheless, he could always discernfrom it that his course, whether stemwards or sternwards, was steadilysouth, towards the Race.
The waves seemed to toss him roughly about, though there was reallybut little lop on the sea.

Presently he heard, or fancied he heard, a new

murmur from the distance, above the babble of waters immediately about
his cockleshell.

It was the nearing voice of the Race.

"Thank God, I

am near my journey's end," he said.
Yet he was not quite sure about its being the Race.

But it did not

rna iter: the Race was sure to come, sooner or later: everything tended
thither.

He now began to close his eyes.

The boat soon shipped larger

and larger volumes of spray, and often a pailful came flat upon his face.
But he did not mind.
How long this state of jeopardy lasted Pearston hardly knew.

It wasended by a sudden crash, which threw him against some hard body, striking his head.

He was fully prepared for a liquid death, but a death byconcussion was so entirely unanticipated that the shock made him cry out
in a fierce resentment at the interruption to his design.
A bright light thereupon shone over him, and some voices shouted out
in the island dialect.

He knew that the speakers were the lightship men,and felt warm blood running down his head where it had been struck.
Then he found himself in the water grasping something; then he wasseized in turn, and hauled up.

Then he saw faces, and bird-cages, andrabbit-hutches, on a deck-a sort of floating menagerie; and then he remembered no more.

When next Pears ton knew that there was such a state as life, and suchan attribute of it as perceptiveness, that night of turbulence, spiritual andphysical, had a long time passed away.

He was lethargically conscious oflying in some soft bed, surrounded by darkness and silence, a warm atmosphere hanging about him, his only trouble being a sense of hugeness as regarded
his head, which seemed to be almost the whole of his person, absorbing theThe Pursuit of the Well-Beloved
rest of his frame into its circumference.

Growing more and more consciousof himself, he realised that this enormous head throbbed with a dull pain.
He again lost sense of himself.

When he next was cognisant of externals

Pearston seemed to hear a whispered conversation going on around him,

and the touch of footsteps on a carpet. A dreamy state followed, and abandage about his head was lodsened, and he opened his eyes.
The light in the apartment was so subdued that nothing around him
could be seen with any distinctness. A living figure was present, moving
about softly. He discerned that it was feminine, and this was all for thetime.
He was recalled to his surroundings by a voice murmuring the inquiry:"Does the light try your eyes?"
The tones seemed familiar; they were rich in quality, as if they had once
been powerful. Yet he could not attach a personality to them, though heknew they had been spoken by the woman who was nursing him.
Pearston murmured an answer, and tried to understand more of what had
happened.

Then he felt uneasy, distressed, and stupid again.

Next day he was conscious of a sudden intellectual expansion.

For thefirst time since lying there he seemed to approximate to himself as he hadformerly been. Upon the whole, he felt glad that he had not been annihilated by his own act. When he tried to speak he found that he could
do so without difficulty, and he said: "Where am I?""At your lodgings," the voice of the nurse replied.

"At East Wake.""Was I picked up and brought here?"" Yes."
That voice-it was known to him absurdly well.
Avice's it was not.

Certainly it was.

As well as his pain would let him, he mentally over-hauled the years of his life.

Only one woman in all his experience had

ever possessed precisely those tones, and he had assumed her to be deadthese thirty years, notwithstanding the sending out of bogus advertisements
for her to delude Avice into happiness.
Still, that was whose voice it was; and every minute added weight tothe conviction that his wife Marcia stood there.

in the remote distance of the room, obviously unaware as yet that heknew her.
"When may I have the daylight let in upon me?" he asked of thedoctor.
"Very soon," replied that gentleman. "But the wound is such that you
may lose your sight if you are allowed to strain it prematurely."
So he waited, Marcia being always in the background, watchful to tenderness. He hoped she would never attempt to tell him how she came there.
He could not endure the thought of having to enter into such details. At
present he felt as if he were living in those early days of his marriage
with her.
His eyes, having been tested, were deemed able to bear the stress ofseeing clearly. Soft daylight was allowed to illuminate the room.
"Nurse," he said.

Why do you always keep behind

She went to the window, through which the light had only been allowed
even now to enter between the blinds.

Reaching it, she pulled the blind

up a little way, till the outer brightness fell full upon her. An unexpected
shock was the result. The face which had been stamped upon his mindsight by the voice, the face of Marcia forty years ago, vanished utterly.
In its. place was a wrinkled crone, with a pointed chin, her figure bowed,
her hair as white as snow. To this the once handsome face had beenbrought by the raspings, chisellings, stewings, bakings, and freezings offorty years. The Juno of that day was the Witch of Endor of this.
He must have shuddered at the discovery of what time had done, possibly
have uttered a slight gasp; at all events, she knew in some way of theshock to his sensitiveness that her skeleton-figure caused him.

So is yours, apparently.

Therefore, when I saw your advertisements for me-proving that you werestill living-I thought we might as well make our final bows and exits

Somebody had tapped at the door, andshe crossed the room and opened it.
"Who was it? " he asked. when the door had closed again.
"Somebody with a telegram for me.

Dear me!

She asked me what she ought to do."He put up his hand to tear open his wound, and bring eternal night
upon this lurid awakening.

"But she is happy," he said.

"And, as forme"--

His wife passed by the mantelpiece, over which hung an enlarged photograph of Avice, that he had brought thither when he left the other house,as the single object which he cared to bring.

The contrast of the ancient

Marcia's aspect, both with this portrait and with her own fine former self,brought into his brain a sudden sense of the grotesqueness of things.

His

wife was-not Avice, but that parchment-covered skull moving about hisroom.

An irresistible fit of laughter, so violent as to be an agony, seized

upon him, and started in him with such momentum that he could notstop it.

He laughed and laughed, till he was almost too weak to draw

breath.
Marcia hobbled up, frightened.

"What's the matter?" she asked; and,turning to a second nurse, "He is weak-hysterical.""O-no, no!

I-I-it is too, too droll-this ending to my would-be

romantic history!" - Ho-ho-ho!
