For Gladys saw the island. It was thus : They gave a day for pleasure in the school Where Gladys taught ; and all the other girls Were taken out to picnic in a wood. But it was said, "We think it were not well That little Gladys should acquire a taste For pleasure, going about, and needless chsi.ign It would not suit her station : discontent Might come of it ; and all her duties now She does so pleasantly, that we were best To keep her humble." So they said to her, " Gladys, we shall not want y...ou, all to-day. Look, you are free ; you need not sit at work : No, you may take a long and pleasant walk Over the sea-cliff, or upon the beach Among the visitors." Then Gladys blushed For joy, and thanked them. What! a holiday, A whole one, for herself! How good, how kind ! With that the marshalled carriages drove off ; Digitized by Google GLADYS AN'D HER ISLAND, 367 And Gladys, sobered with her weight of joy, Stole out beyond the groups upon the beach — The children with their wooden spades, the band That played for lovers, and the sunny stir Of cheerful life and leisure — to the locks, For these she wanted most, and there was time To mark them ; how like ruined organs prone They lay, or leaned their giant fluted pipes, And let the great white-crested reckless wave Beat out their booming melody.
