 points of the compass, from little windows, in
which the coastguard could see with their telescopes along the coast on
both sides and far out to sea. This tower stood on the very edge of the
cliff, but behind it there was a steep descent, to reach which
apparently he went round the tower and disappeared. He evidently wanted
to make a leisurely examination of the drawings--somewhat formidable
for Wynnie, I thought. At the same time, it impressed me favourably
with regard to the young man that he was not inclined to pay a set of
stupid and untrue compliments the instant the portfolio was opened,
but, on the contrary, in order to speak what was real about them, would
take the trouble to make himself in some adequate measure acquainted
with them. I therefore, to Wynnie's relief, I fear, strolled after him,
seeing no harm in taking a peep at his person, while he was taking a
peep at my daughter's mind. I went round the tower to the other side,
and there saw him at a little distance below me, but further out on a
great rock that overhung the sea, connected with the cliff by a long
narrow isthmus, a few yards lower than the cliff itself, only just
broad enough to admit of a footpath along its top, and on one side
going sheer down with a smooth hard rock-face to the sands below. The
other side was less steep, and had some grass upon it. But the path was
too narrow, and the precipice too steep, for me to trust my head with
the business of guiding my feet along it. So I stood and saw him from
the mainland--saw his head at least bent over the drawings; saw how
slowly he turned from one to the other; saw how, after having gone over
them once, he turned to the beginning and went over them again, even
more slowly than before; saw how he turned the third time to the first.
Then, getting tired, I went back to the group on the down; caught sight
of Charlie and Harry turning heels over head down the <DW72> toward the
house; found that my wife had gone home--in fact, that only Connie and
Wynnie were left. The sun had disappeared under a cloud, and the sea
had turned a little slaty; the yellow flowers
points of the compass, from little windows, in 
 which the coastguard could visualize with their telescope along the coast on 
 both sides and far out to ocean. This tower stand on the very edge of the 
 cliff, but behind it there be a steep descent, to achieve which 
 apparently he went round the tugboat and disappeared. He evidently want 
 to make a leisurely examination of the drawings -- somewhat formidable 
 for Wynnie, I thought. At the like time, it impressed me favourably 
 with attentiveness to the young man that he was not disposed to pay a bent of 
 stupid and false compliments the instant the portfolio was opened, 
 but, on the reverse, in order to speak what was real about them, would 
 take the trouble to make himself in some adequate meter introduce 
 with them. I therefore, to Wynnie's relief, I fear, strolled after him, 
 seeing no harm in take a cheep at his person, while he was taking a 
 peep at my daughter's thinker. I go round the tower to the other side, 
 and there watch him at a little distance below me, but further out on a 
 great rock candy that overhung the sea, connected with the cliff by a long 
 narrow isthmus, a few yards low than the cliff itself, only just 
 broad enough to admit of a footpath along its top, and on one slope 
 going sheer down with a smooth hard rock - face to the sand below. The 
 other side was less exorbitant, and had some eatage upon it. But the path was 
 too minute, and the precipice too exorbitant, for me to trust my head with 
 the business of guiding my feet along it. thus I stood and visit him from 
 the mainland -- saw his headway at least bent over the drawings; saw how 
 slowly he turned from one to the early; saw how, after having gone over 
 them once, he turned to the beginning and fit over them again, even 
 more slowly than before; saw how he turned the third time to the inaugural. 
 Then, getting tired, I travel back to the group on the down; caught sight 
 of Charlie and Harry turning heels over head down the < DW72 > toward the 
 house; recover that my wife had gone home -- in fact, that only Connie and 
 Wynnie were left. The sun had disappeared under a swarm, and the sea 
 had turned a small slaty; the yellow flowers
