Then, turning your back on the glitter, you see the heavy browns and greens and ochres of the ruins once more. "Do they never open this chapel, I wonder?" said Derry, peering through the grille of the closed door. I peeped in after him. It had a tiny altar with four tapers, and a blue-and-white pennon with a device upon it. The little porcelain Virgin was blue and white and gold, and under the three lancet windows a dozen rickety chairs stood. The walls were whitewashed, with a picture here and there, and there was a rat-hole in the floor. A small and very bad rose-window reminded me of the window of St Sauveur, and I turned away again. We pottered about here and there among the scrub and masonry. Seen from above, the west tower, that which looks over to Trélivan, is the most complete; but the one to the south-west can be entered by climbing down half-effaced steps in the thickness of the wall. I descended. But there was nothing to see inside but the peep through a single loophole. Its walls chirped with grasshoppers, and a thin screen of oak gave it a roof. I was restless, and came out again. I wanted my letters from London. Then this interminable business would be quickly finished. But London reminded me once more of Julia Oliphant, of what she was doing, of what she would do.... Madge was waiting for me when I re-ascended. The others were nowhere to be seen. And we no longer had the ruins to ourselves. Over by the _zigzag_ path to the east of the rock I heard voices and the brushing of branches. But the colline is so overgrown with shrub that it is not difficult to lose anybody. Derry and Jennie could not be far away. "I expect they're looking for blackberries," said Madge. "Then they'll be on the sunny side," I replied; and I led her across the shady plateau. Then suddenly Madge saw them, for she called "Be careful there, children!" They were standing on the brink of the southern tower, looking away into the brightness. Close to them a mountain-ash overhung the deep, and about the scabious at the foot of it butterflies hovered, part of the airy light. Her hand was on his shoulder, her white frock a luminosity of grey shadow. About one pink glowing ear her loosened hair was a radiance of coppery gold. But the newly-come party was close behind us. Through the leaves I heard a rustle and a woman's voice suddenly raised. "I'm sure I saw him come this way----" "I should get rid of the little beast if I were you," a man's voice growled. Then the woman's voice uplifted again. "_Puppetty! Puppetty!_ Oh, you naughty boy!" The man and the woman appeared. "Puppetty! Puppetty!... Excuse me, have you seen anything of a little---- Good heavens alive, if it isn't Sir George Coverham! Of all the--fancy meeting----"
