A brown wren was the Daniel
That pierced my trance its drift to tell,
Knew my quarrel, how and why,
Published it to lake and sky,
Told every word and syllable
In his flippant

All my wrath and all my shames,
Nay, God is witness, gave the names.

’
■ ‘Run away from home' At this hour of the mornmg> And what about my
breakfast, pray>’
By the time the Rector got downstairs-unshaven, no hot water having
appeared— Ellen had gone down into the town to make fruitless inquiries for
Dorothy, An hour passed, and she did not return Whereupon there occurred a
A
Clergyman’s
Daughter 36 3
frightful, unprecedented thing-a thing never to be forgotten this side of the
grave, the Rector was obliged to prepare his own breakfast-yes, actually to
mess about with a vulgar black kettle and rashers of Danish bacon-with his
own sacerdotal hands
After that, of course, his heart was hardened against Dorothy for ever For
the rest of the day he was far too busy raging over unpunctual meals to ask
himself why she had disappeared and whether any harm had befallen her The
point was that the confounded girl (he said several times ’confounded girl’, and
came near to saying something stronger) had disappeared, and had upset the
whole household by doing so Next day, however, the question became more
urgent, because Mrs Sempnll was now publishing the story of the elopement
far and wide Of course, the Rector demed it violently, but in his heart he had a
sneaking suspicion that it might be true It was the kind of thing, he now
decided, that Dorothy would do A girl who would suddenly walk out of the
house without even taking thought for her father’s breakfast was capable of
anything
Two days later the newspapers got hold of the story, and a nosy young
reporter came down to Knype Hill and began asking questions The Rector
made matters worse by angrily refusing to interview the reporter, so that Mrs
Sempnll’s version was the only one that got into print For about a week, until
the papers got tired of Dorothy’s case and dropped her m favour of a
plesiosaurus that had been seen at the mouth of the Thames, the Rector
enjoyed a horrible notoriety He could hardly open a newspaper without
seeing some flaming headline about ‘Rector’s Daughter Further Revelations’,
or ‘Rector’s Daughter Is she in Vienna^ Reported seen in Low-class Cabaret’
Finally there came an article m the Sunday Spyhole , which began, ‘Down m a
Suffolk Rectory a broken old man sits staring at the wall’, and which was so
absolutely unbearable that the Rector consulted his solicitor about an action
for libel However, the solicitor was against it; it might lead to a verdict, he
said, but it would certainly lead to further publicity So the Rector did
nothing, and his anger against Dorothy, who had brought this disgrace upon
him, hardened beyond possibility of forgiveness
After this there came three letters from Dorothy, explaining what had
happened Of course the Rector never really believed that Dorothy had lost her
memory It was too thin a story altogether He believed that she either had
eloped with Mr Warburton, or had gone off on some similar escapade and had
landed herself penniless in Kent, at any rate-this he had settled once and for
all, and no argument would ever move him from lt-whatever had happened to
her was entirely her own fault The first letter he wrote was not to Dorothy
herself but to his cousin Tom, the baronet.

The early lilacs became part of this child,
And grass and white and red morning-glories, and white and red
clover, and the song of the phoebe-bird,
And the Third-month lambs and the sow's pink-faint litter, and the
mare's foal and the cow's calf,
And the noisy brood of the barnyard or by the mire of the pond-side,
And the fish suspending themselves so curiously below there, and the
beautiful curious liquid,
And the water-plants with their
graceful
flat heads, all became part of him.

So to this school of observers it appears plain that
the Soviet Union now has more reason to wish peace
and more reason to desire stability in the world
markets, where it sells its
commodities
in order to
achieve the Five-Year Plan, than have any of its
neighbors, lacking such a plan, anxious though they,
too, are for peace and hard-pressed though they,
too, are by the world economic depression.
