"Well said, Dick!" exclaimed Doctor Torvey; "I own to your conclusion; but there ain't a soul here but ourselves and we're all friends, and you are your own master and, hang it, you'll tell us that story about the drowned woman, as you heard it from your father long ago." "Ay, do, and keep us to our liquor, my hearty!" cried the Captain. Mr. Peers looked his entreaty; and deaf Mr.
Doctor Torvey was sent for early next morning, and came full of wonder, learning and scepticism. Seeing is believing, however; and there was Philip Feltram living, and soon to be, in all bodily functions, just as usual.
But the George was quiet for that night. The thunder rolled over voiceless chambers; and the lights had been put out within the windows, on whose multitudinous small panes the lightning glared. So the Doctor went home to Mrs. Torvey, whom he charmed into good-humoured curiosity by the tale of wonder he had to relate.
There he learned that a messenger had come for Doctor Torvey at ten o'clock, and that the Doctor had not returned since. There was no news, however, of any one's being ill; and the Doctor himself did not know what he was wanted about. While Lady Haworth was talking to her maid from the window next the steps, Lady Walsingham was, unobserved, receiving this information at the other.
You must not follow me to my room, darling; I shall see you by and by. "His language was collected and even cold; but his face looked as if it was cut in stone; you never saw, in a dream, a face like it." Lady Walsingham here said, "I am certain he is ill; he's in a fever. You must not distract and torture yourself about his predictions. You sent for Doctor Torvey; what did he say?"
La, sir, they're all doin' what they can; he's drowned, sir, and Tom Warren is on the gallop down to Golden Friars for Doctor Torvey." "Is he drowned, or is it only a ducking? Come, bring me to the place. Dead men don't usually want a fire, or consult doctors. I'll see for myself." So Sir Bale Mardykes, pale and grim, accompanied by the light-footed Mrs.
It would have been below the dignity of his cloth to go out and read the labels on these, or the Doctor would have done otherwise, so great was his curiosity. Philip Feltram The new guest was now in the hall of the George, and Doctor Torvey could hear him talking with Mr. Turnbull.
Dick Turnbull rose and went out to the hall with careful bustle, and Doctor Torvey followed as far as the door, which commanded a view of it, and saw several trunks cased in canvas pitched into the hall, and by careful Tom and a boy lifted one on top of the other, behind the corner of the banister.
You must come to the study with me, Doctor Torvey, and talk a little bit more; and very sad, doctor and you must have a glass of sherry, or some port the port used not to be bad here; I don't take it but very melancholy it is bring some port and sherry; and, Mrs.
Philip Feltram laughed when he heard these stories especially when he heard the story that a supernatural personage had lent the Baronet a purse full of money. "You should not talk to Doctor Torvey so, sir," said he grimly; "he's the greatest tattler in the town. It was old Farmer Trebeck, who could buy and sell us all down here, who lent that money.
