Our dinner was eaten together at the "Krone" with the most jovial of hosts, old Betmann, whose card bore the pictures of a bed and a man. Then came coffee, drunk at the museum or at some restaurant outside of the city, riding, or a duel, or there was some excursion, or the entertainment of a fellow-student from some other university, and finally the tavern.
"You are not of the stuff that surgeons are made of, fellow-student," she said, kindly. "Instead of prescribing for others, you need some one to prescribe for you. Why, your hand is quite feverish. You should go to bed, and keep quiet for the next twelve hours." "I will lie down for a couple of hours when Madame Bouïsse is gone; but I must be up and out again at six."
"You deny that it is in your writing?" "I deny nothing. I have no recollection of it." "Perhaps you remember this one?" A second letter was handed to him, and he saw that it was one which he had written in the autumn to a fellow-student. "No." "Nor the person to whom it is addressed?" "Nor the person." "Your memory is singularly short." "It is a defect from which I have always suffered." "Indeed!
Not much hope! and few ideals. Her passion for the Cause had been a grim force, hardly mixed with illusion; but it had held and shaped her. Meanwhile among women she has found a few kindred souls. One of them, a fellow-student, came into money, died, and left Gertrude Marvell a thousand pounds.
One of the gang having one night challenged a fellow-student and received no answer, fired, and took such good aim that the poor young man fell dead on the pavement. Horrified and amazed at the fatal result of his mad prank, the student fled, hoping to hide from justice. The first open door that he saw was that of the dwelling of a good widow, whose son was his friend and fellow-student.
A furious impatience overcame him, too, at the thought of the innumerable hours he would be forced to spend at the piano, day in, day out, for months to come, before the result could be compared with the achievements even of many a fellow-student.
In all these he was, in truth, your teacher and guide; but in a little while you might forget that he was other than a fellow-student and the companion of your way so playful was his manner, so simple his language, so affectionate the glance of his eye!"
One day a fellow-student, who pleased himself with what he called philology, remarked that his father must have been a hit of a humorist to name him Peregrine: "except indeed it be a family name!" he added. "I never thought about it," said Peregrine. "I don't quite know what you mean." The fact was he had no glimmer of what he meant. "Nothing profound," returned the other.
Broughten, a fellow-student of his college; it seemed a more grown-up and superior attitude to adopt. She thought his eyes twinkled, but she preserved such an air of stand-off dignity that he promptly suppressed any undue inclinations towards mirth, and stood looking the epitome of grave politeness. "Broughten knows all about the old barrow," Athelstane explained.
He thought I had been kind to him, and said to a fellow-student of mine, 'Tell the Doctor I lave him me bones, for I've nothing else in the wide world, and I'll nos be wanting 'em at all, at all, when the great pain hat kilt me entirely. So that is how they came to be mine, and why I've kept them carefully, for, though only a poor, ignorant fellow, Mike Nolan did what he could to help others, and prove his gratitude to those who tried to help him."
