But this Quaker's meeting was interrupted by a doctor looking in to prescribe for Miss Carden's cold. The said cold was imperceptible to vulgar eyes, but Grace had detected it, and had written to her friend, Dr. Amboyne, to come and make it as imperceptible to herself as to the spectator. In rolled the doctor, and was not a little startled at sight of Little. "Hallo!" cried be.
He also clandestinely unscrewed a little postern door that his predecessors had closed, and made a key to the lock, so that if he should ever be compelled to go out at night he might baffle his foes, who would naturally watch the great gate for his exit. With all this he became very depressed and moody, and alarmed Doctor Amboyne, who remembered his father's end.
They looked, but could see nothing. But, with that death-shriek ringing in their ears, they wasted no time. Raby waved Amboyne to the left, and himself dashed off to the right, and they scoured the lawn in less than a minute. A cry of horror from Raby! He had found the body of a woman floating in a pool of the river, head downward. He dashed into the water directly and drew it to the bank; Dr.
He now tried to give his mind to the task Amboyne had set him; but it was too hard: he gave it up, with rage and despair. Then he made a desperate resolve, which will not surprise those who know the human heart. He would harden himself. He would see more of Miss Carden than ever; only it should be in quite a new light.
Raby, to the effect that the young gentleman was stiff and sore, and she had sent into Hillsborough for Dr. Amboyne. "Quite right of her," said the squire. "You needn't look so alarmed, Grace; there are no bones broken; and he is in capital hands: he couldn't have a tenderer nurse than that great strapping lass, nor a better doctor than my friend and maniac, Amboyne."
Her clothes clinging tightly round her, revealed her marvelous form and limbs of antique mold but all so deadly still. Amboyne kneeled over her, searching, in vain, for some sign of life. He groaned. "Oh!" said he, "is it possible that such a creature as this can be cut off in its prime?" "Dead!" cried Raby, trembling all over. "Oh, God forbid!
Amboyne undertakes to reconcile us both to your uncle." "All the better. Mr. Raby is a wrong-headed man, but he is a noble-minded one, that is certain." "Yes, and I have done him injustice. Dr. Amboyne has shown me that." She said no more. One step at a time. Henry went up to Woodbine Villa and Grace received him a little coldly. He asked what was the matter.
Amboyne brought the bad news from Cairnhope; and now, instead of soothing and consoling her son, she needed those kind offices from him; and, I am happy to say, she received them. He never spent an evening away from her. Unfortunately he did not succeed in keeping up her spirits, and the sight of her lowered his own.
If you had been a Hillsborough hand, you would insist upon a brain-fever, and a trip to the lunatic asylum, just to vex me, and hinder me of my hobby." Henry stared. This was too eccentric for him to take it all in at once. "What!" said Dr. Amboyne, observing his amazement, "Did you never hear of Dr. Doubleface?" "No, sir."
He walked into the office. Mr. Cheetham was not there: but he found Bayne and Dr. Amboyne. "Mr. Bayne," said he, abruptly, "I am come for my month's wages." The tone was so aggressive, Bayne looked alarmed. "Why, Little, poor Mr. Cheetham is gone home with a bad headache, and a sore heart." "All the better.
