During the office hours, she studied those details of the business at Frankfort which differed from the details of the business in London; and soon mastered them sufficiently to be able to fill the vacancy which Mr. Engelman had left. The position that he had held became, with all its privileges and responsibilities, Mrs.
"My letter despatched," Mr. Engelman continued, "I begged both the doctors to speak with me before they went away, in my private room. There I told them, in the plainest words I could find, exactly what I have told you. Doctor Dormann behaved like a gentleman. He said, 'Let me see the lady, and speak to her myself, before the new remedy is tried. As for the other, what do you think he did?
I ignorantly admire the lovely colors, and enjoy the delicious scents and I can do no more. It was really very kind of your old friend Mr. Engelman. Does he take any part in this deplorable difference of opinion between your aunt and Mr. Keller?" What did that new allusion to Mr. Engelman mean?
Has she got into some difficulty since she refused him? and could he, by the barest possibility, be of any use in helping her out of it?" I declare solemnly that the idea suggested by my aunt never occurred to me until she asked those questions. As a rejected suitor, Mr. Engelman could be of no possible use to the widow.
Why isn't she here? 'She is afraid to approach you, sir, said the doctor; 'you have a very bad opinion of her. 'A bad opinion, Mr. Keller repeated, 'of a woman I don't know? Who is the slanderer who has said that of me? The doctor signed to Mr. Engelman to answer. 'Speak plainly, he whispered, behind the chair. Mr. Engelman did speak plainly.
He stopped instantly at the sight of two ladies who were both strangers to him, and looked interrogatively at his partner. Mr. Engelman had no choice but to risk an explanation of some kind. He explained, without mentioning names. "Friends of mine, Keller," he said confusedly, "to whom I have been showing the house." Mr. Keller took off his hat, and bowed to the widow.
Half an hour or more had passed, when some papers arrived from the bank, which required the signature of the firm. Mr. Engelman being still absent, the head-clerk, at my suggestion, proceeded to the dining-room with the papers in his charge. He came back again immediately, looking very much alarmed. "Pray go into the dining-room!" he said to me. "I am afraid something is seriously wrong with Mr.
Engelman had thus far led to no result when I received a letter containing news of the fugitive, confided to me under strict reserve. The writer of the letter proved to be a married younger brother of Mr. Engelman, residing at Bingen, on the Rhine. "I write to you, dear sir, at my brother's request.
This took me completely, and far from agreeably, by surprise. I said piteously, "Must I really leave Frankfort?" "My good fellow, I have other interests to consider besides Engelman's interests," my aunt explained. "Mr. Hartrey is waiting to hear from me. There is no hope that Engelman will be able to travel to London, in his present state of health, and no possibility of Mr.
Recalling those memorable days of my early life, I remember that a strange and sinister depression pervaded our little household, from the time when Mr. Engelman left us. In some mysterious way the bonds of sympathy, by which we had been hitherto more or less united, seemed to slacken and fall away.
