When Lord Evandale reluctantly brought himself to communicate these doubts to the chaplain, in order to obtain his opinion, he could only obtain a long lecture on demonology, in which, after quoting Delrio and Burthoog and De L'Ancre on the subject of apparitions, together with sundry civilians and common lawyers on the nature of testimony, the learned gentleman expressed his definite and determined opinion to be, either that there had been an actual apparition of the deceased Henry Morton's spirit, the possibility of which he was, as a divine and a philosopher, neither fully prepared to admit or to deny; or else that the said Henry Morton, being still in /rerum natura/, had appeared in his proper person that morning; or, finally, that some strong /deceptio visus/, or striking similitude of person, had deceived the eyes of Miss Bellenden and of Thomas Halliday.
"Cousin Rotherwood and Fly both say they can't think how Mr. Delrio got on with such a silly little hysterical goose upon his hands; and that it is a foolish romantic unlucky notion that he ought to be engaged to her. I think Mamma will tell Miss Prescott so." The Kittiwake, having arrived three days later than had been expected, there had been an amount of revolution in the general arrangements.
Magdalen accepted the suggestion, perhaps the more readily because of a fleeting visit from Hubert Delrio, who had finished his frescoes at the American Vale Leston, and came for a day or two to Mr. Flight's.
"Besides, I expect it is up among the Druses, where one can't go." "Armie," in the tone of a great confession, "I've told Sydney all about it. Have you told Lord Fordham?" "No," said Armine, who was less exclusively devoted to the great romance. "I wonder whether he would read it?" "I've brought it. Nineteen copybooks and a dozen blank ones, though it was so hard to make Delrio pack them up."
It was some months later that Sir Ferdinand Travis Underwood had decided on building a magnificent cathedral-like church for the population rising around him in the Rocky Mountains; and meeting Lord Rotherwood in London heard of the work at St. Kenelm's, and resorted to Eccles and Beamster as the employers of young Delrio.
Delrio arrived in the afternoon, a thin, grey-haired and bearded old man, who could only make it too certain that Paula's theory of the innocent flight to Filsted was impossible.
"My mother wants you all to come up to picnic tea to see the foxgloves in the dell, on Monday, and to bring Mr. Delrio " "Oh! thank you." "I forgot, you had not seen my cousin Dolores Mohun before. Mysie calls her a cousin-twin, if you know what that is."
Kenelm's because it is the real correct church," said Paulina. "Oh, yes!" cried Vera. "Mr. Hubert Delrio went to see it in case Eccles and Beamster should have an order. We must go there." "Of course," said Paulina, with a sympathetic nod. "But," said Agatha, "there will be an embargo on all acquaintance except the grandees at Clipstone." "I shall never drop old friends," cried Vera.
Delrio, who jumped out of the same train, shook hands with Agatha, and bestirred himself in finding her luggage and calling a cab. "How he is improved! What a pleasing, gentlemanly fellow he looks!" she exclaimed, as she waved her thanks, while driving off in the cab. "Is he not?" said Paula, while Vera bridled and blushed. "You will be delighted with his work.
Delrio mentions that one gentleman accused of lycanthropy was put to the torture no less than twenty times, but still he would not confess. An intoxicating draught was then given him, and under its influence he confessed that he was a weir-wolf. Delrio cites this to show the extreme equity of the commissioners.
