He was here shortly after the young man was taken ill. The dress of this person was excessively
showy, and consisted of a scarlet riding-habit, lined and faced with blue, and
bedizened with broad gold lace, a green silk-knit waistcoat, embroidered with
silver, and decorated with a deep fringe, together with a hat tricked out in the
same gaudy style. Down that on the right the
young culprit was dragged—along that on the left a fainting woman was borne
in the arms of several females. Why should she trouble herself over that young fool, who was
nothing to her; who, when he eventually sobered up, would not be able to
recognize her, or if he did, as something phantasmagorical?
Perhaps he should not apply the term "fool"; "unfortunate" might be the more
accurate application. There came to
Spurlock the recurrence of the grim resolution of what he had set out to do: that
comradeship was all he might ever give this exquisite creature; for she was
exquisite, and in a way she dominated this picture of sea and sky and sail. And we are not traders looking at equivalents. Ennison
himself, with the recollection of Annabel’s visit still fresh in his mind, was for a
moment constrained and ill at ease.
