It gave Philip a queer sensation too . A breath of the country-side seemed to be wafted into that panelled room in the middle of London . He seemed to see the fat Kentish fields with their stately elms ; and his nostrils dilated with the scent of the air ; it is laden with the salt of the North Sea , and that makes it keen and sharp . Philip did not leave the Athelnys ' till ten o'clock . The children came in to say good-night at eight and quite naturally put up their faces for Philip to kiss . His heart went out to them . Sally only held out her hand .
