Rendezvous
W ARREN Hall in Hampshire, principal country seat for generations past of the Earls of Merton, was surrounded by a large, well-landscaped park, in one secluded corner of which there was a small chapel, used nowadays almost exclusively for family weddings, christenings, and funerals since there was a sizable church in the village nearby for regular worship. It was generally a picturesque spot, especially during spring and summer, when the trees were laden with leaves and blossoms and the grass was green and flowers bloomed wild in the hedgerows and tame in the beds flanking the path leading to the church doors.
But this was early February, too early in the year even for the first of the snowdrops and primroses. And today it was raining. A chill wind tossed the bare branches of the trees against a leaden sky. It was the sort of day on which sensible folk remained indoors unless pressing business forced them out.
The man standing in the churchyard appeared to feel neither the cold nor the rain nor the call of the indoors. Nor was he admiring the scenery He was holding his tall hat in one hand, and his dark, longish hair was plastered to his head and forehead. Water ran in rivulets down his face and neck to be absorbed by the fabric of his long black riding coat. Everything about him was black, in fact, except his face, and even that was dark-complexioned and quite un-English.
Given his surroundings, he looked somewhat sinister.
He was a young man, tall, long-limbed, lithe. His face was too rugged to be called handsomeit was long and narrow with high cheekbones and very dark eyes and a nose that had at some point in his life been broken and not set perfectly straight. The expression on his face was stern and forbidding. He was tapping a riding crop against his thigh.
If there had been any strangers close by, they would surely have given him a wide berth.
But there was no one, only his horse, which was grazing untethered nearby, apparently as oblivious to the cold and rain as its master.
He was standing at the foot of one particular grave the newest, though a winters frost and wind had obscured the freshness of its turned soil and given it a look little different from the others around it. Except that the gray headstone still looked very new.
The mans eyes were fixed on the second to last line of the inscriptionAged Sixteen Years. And then beneath it, Rest in Peace.
He has found the man he was looking for, Jon, he said softly to the headstone. And the odd thing is that you would have been delighted, would you not? You would have been happy and excited. You would have demanded to meet him, to befriend him, to love him. But no one thought to look for him until after you were dead.
