The gloom had almost become the darkness of the night, and they were still sitting there without any light, when Mrs Baxter entered the room. "The dear gentleman is no more," said Mrs Baxter; and it seemed to the archdeacon that the very moment of his father's death had repeated itself. When Dr Filgrave called he was told that his services could be of no further use. "Dear, dear!" said the doctor.
"And Posy shall come back when he has gone," said Mrs Arabin. "Posy will do me more good than Dr Filgrave I am quite sure; but Posy shall go now." So Posy scrambled off the bed, and the doctor was ushered into the room. "A day or two will see the end of it, Mr Archdeacon; I should say a day or two," said the doctor, as he met Dr Grantly in the hall.
Dr Filgrave, as he said this, made a slow falling motion with his hands, which alone on various occasions had been thought to be worth all the money paid for his attendance. "Perhaps you would wish that I should step in in the evening, Mr Dean? As it happens, I shall be at liberty." The dean of course said that he would take it as an additional favour.
