But that direction to which he and Doctor Bryerly had darkly alluded, was now to come, and certainly it was a strange one.
There was also one addressed to Silas Alymer Ruthyn, Esq., Bartram-Haugh Manor, &c. &c., which Mr. Sleigh offered to deliver. But Doctor Bryerly thought the post-office was the more regular channel. Uncle Silas's representative was questioning Doctor Bryerly in an under-tone.
You go and what pray is thought of your uncle, Mr. Silas Ruthyn, who walks in for the entire inheritance, and who has long been abused like a pickpocket, or worse, in his own county, I'm told? 'You are a religious man, Doctor Bryerly, according to your lights? I said. The Swedenborgian smiled.
Rusk announced that Doctor Bryerly would see Lady Knollys at any time she pleased before his departure. 'It shall be this moment, then, said the energetic lady, and up she stood, and made that hasty general adjustment before the glass, which, no matter under what circumstances, and before what sort of creature one's appearance is to be made, is a duty that every woman owes to herself.
Up rose my uncle, that strangely venerable, pale portrait, in his loose Rembrandt black velvet. How gentle, how benignant, how unearthly, and inscrutable! 'I need not say how she is. Those lilies and roses, Doctor Bryerly, speak their own beautiful praises of the air of Bartram. I almost regret that her carriage will be home so soon. I only hope it may not abridge her rambles.
I saw Uncle Silas's lip, eyelid, and thin cheek quiver and shrink, as if with a thrill of tic-douloureux, as Doctor Bryerly spoke this unconsciously insulting answer. My uncle had, however, the self-command which is learned at the gaming-table. He shrugged, with a chilly, sarcastic, little laugh, and a glance at me. 'Your note says waste, I think, sir?
And Doctor Bryerly talked a little to me, and there seemed to be something on his mind more than he chose to tell me; so that for some time after I saw him I really was, as you say, frightened; but, except that, I really have had no cause. And what was in your mind when you asked me?
Rusk inveighing against 'them rubbitch, as she always termed the Swedenborgians, told me 'they were making him quite shaky-like, and he would not last no time, if that lanky, lean ghost of a fellow in black was to keep prowling in and out of his room like a tame cat. I lay awake that night, wondering what the mystery might be that connected my father and Dr. Bryerly.
Clay whisper to Mr. Danvers 'Is not that Doctor Bryerly the person with the black the black it's a wig, I think in the window, talking to Abel Grimston? 'Yes; that's he. 'Odd-looking person one of the Swedenborg people, is not he? continued the Rector. 'So I am told.
Bryerly does not turn up to-morrow, you must send for the Rector, good Doctor Clay, and let him make search for the will there may be directions about many things, you know; and, my dear Maud, you are to remember that Silas is my cousin as well as your uncle. Come, dear, put on your hat. So we went out together for a little cloistered walk. When we returned, a 'young' gentleman had arrived.
