The tipsy senator plunged at once into an explanation with Glenalmond. There was a point reserved yesterday, he had been able to make neither head nor tail of it, and seeing lights in the house, he had just dropped in for a glass of porter and at this point he became aware of the third person.
"We will talk of it presently when Carstairs has come and gone, and you have had a piece of my good Cheddar cheese and a pull at the porter tankard: not before." "It is impossible I should eat" repeated Archie. "Tut, tut!" said Lord Glenalmond. "You have eaten nothing to-day, and I venture to add, nothing yesterday.
But I think he does." "And I am sure of it," said Glenalmond. "Has he spoken to you, then?" cried Archie. "O no," replied the judge. "I tell you honestly," said Archie, "I want to make it up to him. I will go, I have already pledged myself to go, to Hermiston. That was to him.
And may not each have relevant excuses?" "Ah, but we do not talk of punishing the good," cried Archie. "No, we do not talk of it," said Glenalmond. "But I think we do it. Your father, for instance." "You think I have punished him?" cried Archie. Lord Glenalmond bowed his head. "I think I have," said Archie. "And the worst is, I think he feels it! How much, who can tell, with such a being?
At that moment, coming in hissing from many potations, with a flushed countenance and blurred eyes, he was strikingly contrasted with the tall, pale, kingly figure of Glenalmond.
"Come in, come in," said he. "Come in and take a seat. "No supper," said Archie. "It is impossible that I should eat." "Not impossible," said the tall old man, laying his hand upon his shoulder, "and, if you will believe me, necessary." "You know what brings me?" said Archie, as soon as the servant had left the room. "I have a guess, I have a guess," replied Glenalmond.
"We will talk of it presently when Carstairs has come and gone, and you have had a piece of my good Cheddar cheese and a pull at the porter tankard: not before." "It is impossible I should eat," repeated Archie. "Tut, tut!" said Lord Glenalmond. "You have eaten nothing to-day, and I venture to add, nothing yesterday.
"My lord and you, Lord Glenalmond, my dear friend," he began, "this is a happy chance for me, that I can make my confession and offer my apologies to two of you at once." "Ah, but I don't know about that. Confession? It'll be judeecial, my young friend," cried the jocular Glenkindie. "And I'm afraid to listen to ye. Think if ye were to make me a coanvert!"
I cannot now say who was the prime mover in the next matter of interest which we pursued in common. It was the foundation of Trinity College, Glenalmond. We drew into our partnership the deceased Dean Ramsay, one of the very few men known to me who might, perhaps, compete even with your father in attracting affection, though very different in powers of mind.
"Suppose we did not talk about that," interrupted Glenalmond. "You know it very well, it cannot in any way help that you should brood upon it, and I sometimes wonder whether you and I who are a pair of sentimentalists are quite good judges of plain men." "How do you mean?" asked Archie. "Fair judges, I mean," replied Glenalmond. "Can we be just to them? Do we not ask too much?
