Faith 717 so energetic. Even the butcher-boys relaxed their pace and made for the shady sides. Not so. Gundry the builder fell asleep in his easy chair after his early dinner. When he awoke and pulled out his watch, he started up, shocked to find that it was half-past two already. " Chris !” he shouted. “He is out at the gate-only waiting for you,” said the mild voice of his wife, a fair, slow-spoken, square-faced woman, with large, light blue eyes, straight nose and coral lips. She spoke gently enough, but Gundry caught up his hat and flung out of the house, as though he felt her words a reproach for taking it easy, while Chris, of superior virtue, was broiling in the sun. Chris had the pony comfortably in the shade, and stood leaning upon her, either halfasleep himself or musing. He was a big, dulllooking, dull-complexioned boy of fifteen, with little copies of his mother's large blue eyes, a round full face, and a big mouth, which, however, showed itself capable of a pleasant smile when he raised his head at the sound of his father's step. Chris never had a grievance. “Morn, noon and night, Whate'er he had to do was always right." " Jump up, my boy,” said Gundry, seeing at once that the spring-cart had in it everything that onght to be there. He was a man of middle height and substantial build, with chestnut hair, full beard of a darker shade, blunt features, but a hawk's eye-clear, hazel-grey, with a glance that nothing in the material world escaped. Chris mounted deliberately. His father followed with a spring, and drove off at a rattling pace along the white, level road between two steep slopes—houses in pretty gardens on one side of it; on the other, a stone wall, behind which rose green fields and orchards, till houses began there also, and grew closer and smaller till the road struck into another at right angles to it-a“ long, unlovely street” of poor-looking shops. This was the Strand of Forestwyk, skirting the river for half-a-mile or more. Gundry turned to the right, away from the centre of the town, and in two minutes more pulled up at one of the entrances to the River Leas, and, jumping out, went down to look about him. gave the tiniest root-hold, stonecrop and creepers sprang up, and golden wallflower, now in full bloom. In the brilliant sunshine, under the deep blue sky of this cloudless afternoon, the grey walls, the gleams of rich colour from the flowers, and the archways framing views of green hills in the distance, gave the place a foreign look-a quaint, singular picturesqueness. But Gundry , did not see it; he was smelling the smells. Before this fine weather, heavy rains had come, and there had been a flood in the River Leas. They were always having little floods down there, and people were accustomed to it; but this time the river had risen a few feet higher than usual. There had been reports in the papers, and subscriptions for the sufferers; and one or two active vestrymen had seized the opportunity to make an attack on the owners of some of the most insanitary of these unhealthy dwellings, and compel them either to pull down or to repair. They escaped the former alternative (partly from the difficulty of knowing where else to house the poor creatures who would be turned out) on condition of employing only men approved by the Town Council to do the repairs; and Gundry was one of those appointed to the thankless task. On this afternoon, an unreliable inspector was to meet an owner on the spot, and he was bent on arriving before the two could have bargained with each other to hush up the matter, and slur over the work in the cheapest possible way. He had a strong feeling for the poor occupants, and a still stronger one of disgust for all scamped work. To think of having to lay down new boards, for instance, on top of half-dried river-ooze, with no concrete between, was enough to spoil a man's dinner for a week. He posted to and fro, looking for the place, and only lost himself and came out where he had gone in. The lanes were quiet as a city of the dead. The elder children were at school, and the babies and their mothers seemed all to be taking a siesta this hot afternoon. Not even an old man came down the lane, nor a group of gossiping women stood at the doors; and at every turn, he met a fresh wast of that poison-smell. When the river rose, it flooded the sewers too, and all their contents were poured into the basements, and left behind-a dreadful sediment-when the water went down. Gundry felt sorry he had brought Chris. “ Drive back into the road," he called, “and wait there for me.” And he made another plunge, this time down Middle Lane, in search of the way “ down Mary Place and up into Charles Square.” “Bother the place !” he said impatiently, as he turned down a lane just like all the rest. As he did so, from the open door of one of the houses a little girl stepped out. She might be nine or ten years old, he thought, from her size, but her face was old, long and thin, and her great dark eyes were raised to his with such a look of bewildered, helpless anguish that, hurried though he was, he stopped short, saying—“What's the matter, iny dear ?" Her little thin hands locked tightly together as she answered, in the clear soft accents of a lady-child, * Please, do you know if there is any room to The Leas were two or three acres of ground close to the river, covered with poor, small houses built in long rows undetached. Here and there a break in a row gave admittance to curious little squares and nests of houses which lay behind the wider lanes. Two or three parallel rows ran in a line with the river and the Wyk road : intersecting them at right angles were the main arteriesNorth, Middle, and South Lanes, leading from road to river. At another angle still, the railway ran across this human warren, its arches high above the house tops. Like the cottages, they were built of the beautiful grey Wyk stone; so were the garden-walls, and almost every house had its morsel of garden, where flowers grew-as they will grow in the Forestwyk valley--whether tended or not. Wherever a break in the stones |
