"That is worse than you, Flora; but rather would I have you cherish hope of soon beholding Charles Holland, probably alive and well, than fancy any great disaster has come over him." "I will endeavour to do so," replied Flora. "I long to hear what has become of Dr. Chillingworth.
As he spoke, Sir Francis Varney stretched out his foot, and closed a small bracket which held out the flap of the table on which the admiral was leaning, and, accordingly, down the admiral went, tea-tray and all. Mr. Chillingworth ran to help him up, and, when they both recovered their feet, they found they were alone. "Hilloa where the deuce is he?" said the admiral.
Upon this, the whole three of them immediately left the place, and it was evident that Mr. Chillingworth had something of an uncomfortable character upon his mind.
The cries of the mob became more distinct as they drew nearer to the party, who began to evince some uneasiness as to their object. "Surely," said Marchdale, "Mr. Chillingworth has not named anything respecting the duel that has taken place." "No, no." "But he was to have been here this morning," said the admiral.
I'm very sorry: but I thought it was my husband." "But if you did," said the stranger, "there was no occasion to drown him with a basin of soap-suds. It is your husband I want, madam, if he be Dr. Chillingworth." "Then, indeed, you must go on wanting him, sir, for he's not been to his own home for a day and a night.

Chillingworth, "such as might have been fashionable a hundred years ago, but not now." "Such was my impression," added Marchdale. "And such my own," said Henry, excitedly. "Is it at all within the compass of the wildest belief that what we have seen is a vampyre, and no other than my ancestor who, a hundred years ago, committed suicide?"
“You would tell me, then, that I know all?” said Roger Chillingworth, deliberately, and fixing an eye, bright with intense and concentrated intelligence, on the minister's face. “Be it so!
