Beyond the Storm (2012)
“Harnessing the pony to the trap took longer than they would have wished but after only a few initial errors it was done and they led pony and trap from the stables, keeping on grass as much as possible until they felt they were out of hearing of those in the house.
Once in the trap they hurriedly left Helynn behind, driving the pony at a sharp trot, relying upon memory of the previous day’s journey to guide them back to Trethevy. Although neither woman spoke their thoughts aloud, they were ...constantly in fear of hearing the sound of Captain Hugo Trevelyan coming in pursuit of them.
Much to the relief of both women, their memories served them well and they chose the correct roads and lanes, helped by the occasional granite signpost erected at major highway junctions.
They arrived at the rectory mid-morning, to find Tristram alone there. Reverend David had taken Percy with him intending to visit the poorhouse after the service, where the oldest resident, a friend of Percy, was dying.MoreLess
