brook that ran in the dip at the bottom of the garden,carrying thegarden path in continuation from the plank'bridge on to thecommon.He had cut the rough turf and bracken,leaving the greydryish soil bare.But he was worried because he could not get thepath straight,there was a pleat3 between his brows.He had set uphis sticks,and taken the sights between the big pine trees,but forsome reason everything seemed wrong.He looked again,straininghis keen blue eyes,that had a touch of the Viking in them,throughthe shadowy pine trees as through a doorway at the green-grassedgarden-path rising from the shadow of alderss by the log bridge up tothe sunlit flowers.Tall white and purple columbines,and the butt-endof the old Hampshire?cottage that crouched near the earth amidflowers,blossoming in the bit of shaggys wildness round about.

There was a sound of children's voices calling and talking:high,childish,girlish voices,slightly didactic and tinged with domineer-ing "If you don't come quick,nurse,I shall run out there towhere there are snakes."And nobody had the sang froid to reply:“Run then,little fool..”It was always,“No,darling.Very well,

darling.In a moment,darling.Darling,you must be patient."

His heart was hard with disillusion':a continual gnawing2 andresistance.But he worked on.What was there to do but submit!

The sunlight blazed down upon the earth,there was a vividnessof flamy vegetation,of fierce seclusion amid the savage peace ofthe commons.Strange how the savage England lingers in patches:as here,amid these shaggy gorse commons,and marshy,snake in-fested places near the foot of the south downs.The spirit of placelingering on primeval,as when the Saxonss came,so long ago.

Ah,how he had loved it!The green garden path,the tufts offlowers,purple and white columbines,and great oriental redpoppies with their black chaps and mulleinss tall and yellow,this flamy garden which had been a garden for a thousand years,scooped out in the little hollow among the snake-infestedcommons.He had made it flame with flowers,in a sun cup underits hedges?and trees.So old,so old a place!And yet he had

recreated it.

The timbereds cottage with its sloping,cloak-like roof was oldand forgotten.It belonged to the old England of hamlets and yeomen.

Lost all alone on the edge of the common,at the end of a wide,grassy,briar-entangled lane shaded with oak,it had never knownthe world of today.Not till Egbert came with his bride.And hehad come to fill it with flowers.

The house was ancient and very uncomfortable.But he did not

Himself on one side the angle,and Winifred on the other.

Ah,how he had wanted her:Winifred!She was young andbeautiful and strong with life,like a flame in sunshine.She movedwith a slow grace of energy like a blossoming,red-flowered bushin motion.She,too,seemed to come out of the old England,ruddy,strong,with a certain crude,passionate2quiescence and a hawthomrobustness5.And he,he was tall and slim and agile,like an Eng-lish archer with his long supple legs and fine movements.Her hairwas nut-brown and all in energic curls and tendrils.Her eyes werenut-brown,too,like a robin's for brightness.And he was white-skinned with fine,silky hair that had darkened from fair,and aslightly arched nose of an old country family.They were a beautifulcouple.

The house was Winifred's.Her father was a man of energy,too.

He had come from the north poor.Now he was moderately rich.Hehad bought this fair stretch of inexpensive land,down in Hamp-shire.Not far from the tiny church of the almost extinct hamletstood his own house,a commodious?old farmhouse standing backfrom the road across a bare grassed yard.On one side of this quad-rangles was the long,long bamn or shed which he had made into acottage for his youngest daughter Priscilla.One saw little blue-and-

white check curtains at the long windows,and inside,overhead,the grand old timbers of.the high-pitched shed.This was Prissy'shouse.Fifty yards away was the pretty little new cottage which hehad built for his daughter Magdalen,with the vegetable gardenstretching away to the oak'copse2.And then away beyond thelawns and rose trees of the house-garden went the track across ashaggy wild grass space,towards the ridge of tall black pines thatgrew on a dyke-bank,through the pines and above the slopinglittle bog under the wide,desolate oak trees,till there was Winifred'scottage crouching unexpectedly in front,so much alone,and soprimitive.

It was Winifred's own house,and the gardens and the bit ofcommon and the boggy3 slope were hers:her tiny domain.She hadmarried just at the time when her father had bought the estate,about ten years before the war,so she had been able to come to

Egbert with this for a marriage portion.And who was more delight-ed,he or she,it would be hard to say.She was only twenty at thetime,and he was only twenty-one.He had about a hundred andfifty pounds a year of his own-and nothing else but his veryconsiderable personal attractions.He had no profession:he earnednothing.But he talked of literature and music,he had a passionfor old folk-music,collecting folk-songs and folk-dances,studyingthe Morris-dance5 and the old customs.Of course in time he wouldmake money in these ways.

Meanwhile youth and health and passion and promise.Winifred's

Well then,into this family came Egbert.He was made of quitea different pastes.The girls and the father were strong-limbed,thick-blooded people,true English,as holly-trees and hawthorn are

English.Their culture was grafted on to them,as one might per-haps graft a common pink rose on to a thornstem.It flowered odd-ly enough,but it did not alter their blood.

And Egbert was a born rose.The age-long breeding had left

him with a delightful spontaneous'passion.He was not clever,noreven "literary".No,but the intonation2 of his voice,and the move-ment of his supple,handsome body and the fine texture3 of hisflesh and his hair,the slight arch of his nose,the quickness of hisblue eyes would easily take the place of poetry.Winifred lovedhim,loved him,this southerner,as a higher being.A higher beingmind you.Not a deeper.And as for him,he loved her in passionwith every fibre of him.She was the very warm stuff of life to him

Wonderful then,those days at Crockham Cottage,the first days,all alone save for the woman who came to work in the mornings

Marvellous days,when she had all his tall,supple,fine-fleshedyouth to herself,for herself,and he had her like a ruddy fire intowhich he could cast himself for rejuvenation3.Ah,that it might neverend,this passion,this marriage!The flame of their two bodies burntagain into that old cottage,that was haunted already by so muchby-gone,physical desire.You could not be in the dark room for anhour without the influences coming over you.The hot blood-desireof by-gone yeomen,there in this old den where they had lusted andbred for so many generations.The silent house,dark,with thick,timbered walls and the big black chimney-place,and the sense ofsecrecy.Dark,with low,little windows,sunk into the earth.Dark,like a lair where strong beasts had lurkeds and mated,lonely atnight and lonely by day,left to themselves and their own intensityfor so many generations.It seemed to cast a spell on the two young
