Stukely Culbrett succeeded to these visitors. He heard of the case of Dr. Shrapnel from Colonel Halkett, and of Beauchamp's missing of his chance with the heiress from Mr. Romfrey. Rosamund Culling was in great perplexity about Beauchamp's prolonged absence; for he had engaged to come, he had written to her to say he would be sure to come; and she feared he was ill. She would have persuaded Mr.
Culbrett to go down to Bevisham to see him: she declared that she could even persuade herself to call on Dr. Shrapnel a second time, in spite of her horror of the man. Her anger at the thought of his keeping Nevil away from good fortune and happiness caused her to speak in resentment and loathing of the man. 'He behaved badly when you saw him, did he? said Stukely. 'Badly, is no word.
'Just as you like, Mr. Culbrett remarked. It was his ironical habit of mind to believe that the wishes of men and women women as well as men were expressed by their utterances.

'I shall not spare you from hearing what I think of it, sir. 'We 've had what you think of it twice over, said Mr. Romfrey.
And what is the Conservative misdemeanour which the man of honour in the party is to pay for? 'I'll talk to you about it by-and-by, said Nevil. He seemed to Cecilia too trusting, too simple, considering his cousin's undisguised tone of banter. Yet she could not put him on his guard. She would have had Mr. Culbrett do so.
Stukely Culbrett had said, 'Then there is the man, for he is undoubtedly a projectile'; nor were politically-hostile punsters on an arrow-head inactive. At that moment, she fancied Madame de Rouaillout might be doing likewise; and oh that she had the portrait of the French lady as well!
Rosamund saw tears leap out of the stern face of her dearest now in wrath with her. 'Is he ill? she faltered. 'He is. You own to a strong dislike of him, do you not? 'But not to desire any harm to him. 'Not a whipping, Mr. Culbrett murmured. Everard Romfrey overheard it. He had allowed Mrs.
