The iron gate attained and locked but not before Durdles has tumbled twice, and cut an eyebrow open once they descend into the crypt again, with the intent of issuing forth as they entered.
He takes rooms in the same house as Jasper, to whom, as to Durdles and Deputy, he introduces himself on the night of his arrival at Cloisterham. He afterwards addresses Deputy, the little gamin, by the name "Winks," which is given to him by the people at the Tramps' lodgings: the name is a secret of Deputy's.
The young man is not, like Helena, "very dark, and fierce of look, . . . of almost the gipsy type." He is blonde, sedate, and of the classic type, as Drood was. He is no more like Helena than Crisparkle is like Durdles. Mr. Cuming Walters says that Mr. Proctor was "unable to allude to the prophetic picture by Collins." As a fact, this picture is fully described by Mr. Proctor, but Mr.
'I've got a touch of the Tombatism on me, Mr. Jasper, but that I must expect. 'You mean the Rheumatism, says Sapsea, in a sharp tone. 'No, I don't. I mean, Mr. Sapsea, the Tombatism. It's another sort from Rheumatism. Mr. Jasper knows what Durdles means.
Moreover, exaggeration has always to outdo itself progressively. There should have been a Durdles to tell this Swinburne that the habit of exaggerating, like that of boasting, "grows upon you." It may be added that later poetry shows us an instance of exaggeration in the work of that major poet, Mr. Lascelles Abercrombie.
'Did you touch me? 'Touch you! Yes. Shook you. As Durdles recalls that touching something in his dream, he looks down on the pavement, and sees the key of the crypt door lying close to where he himself lay. 'I dropped you, did I? he says, picking it up, and recalling that part of his dream.
'They don't show, you see, the old uns don't, Mister Jarsper! 'It would be a more confused world than it is, if they could. 'Well, it WOULD lead towards a mixing of things, Durdles acquiesces: pausing on the remark, as if the idea of ghosts had not previously presented itself to him in a merely inconvenient light, domestically or chronologically.
Moreover, next morning Durdles was apt to notice that some of his quicklime had been removed. As far as is shown, Durdles noticed nothing of that kind, though he does observe peculiarities in Jasper's behaviour. The next point in the tale is that Edwin and Rosa meet, and have sense enough to break off their engagement.
It was indeed very fine, the cathedral like a hovering purple cloud, the old sentry in his high peaked hat, the black statue, and the blue shadows over the snow. It was then that Lawrence, with an air of determined strength, detached Vera from us and walked ahead with her. I saw that he was talking eagerly to her. Nina said, with a little shudder, "Isn't it quiet, Durdles?
More probably NOT on the Christmas Eve just imminent, when Edwin is to vanish, but, on the Christmas Eve following, when Jasper is to be unmasked. All this while, and later, Jasper examines Durdles very closely, studying the effects on him of the drugged drink. There is a motive for the scrutiny in either case.
