Philip awoke, and, sitting up, perceived the doctor standing by him. "Well, Mynheer Vanderdecken," commenced the unfeeling little man, "so it's all over. I knew it would be so; and recollect you owe me now another guilder, and you promised faithfully to pay me; altogether, with the potion, it will be three guilders and a half that is, provided you return my phial."
Stephen left Amsterdam with an option in his pocket, given for the sum of one guilder, agreeing to sell him the Dutch bonds for something like the amount of the unpaid interest, and agreeing, further, to wait until six months after reorganization for part of the payment. The next step was to provide the cash required for immediate necessities. About $300,000 was put up by the members of the group.
When it comes to a man like Jack Graylock going so far as to ask her to marry him, good night, nurse! Nothing doing, even for me." "Even for you," repeated Guilder in his moderate and always modulated voice. "Well, if she's escaped you and Graylock, she's beyond any danger from Drene, I fancy." Quair smiled appreciatively, as though a delicate compliment had been offered him.
"O, that is only a closet," said the attendant, "where we keep our brooms and dusters." "I wish you would just let us look into it," said Mr. George. "Here's half a guilder for you." The man looked a little surprised, but he took the half guilder, saying, "Certainly, if it will afford you any satisfaction." Mr. George then went back to where he had left the rest of his party, and said to Mrs.
But the next day found him at work; models of various types, ages, and degrees of stupidity came, posed, were paid, and departed; his studies for the groups in collaboration with Guilder and Quair were approaching the intensely interesting period that stage of completion where composition has been determined upon and the excitement of developing the construction and the technical charm of modeling begins.
But he did not remain long there, being the very next sessions brought to his trial on an indictment for robbing John Waller in a certain field or open place near the highway, putting him in fear of his life, and taking from him twenty-five handkerchiefs, value four pounds, five ducats value forty-eight shillings, two guineas, a three guilder piece, a French pistol, and five shillings in silver, on the 22nd of November, 1729.
After a strained silence, Guilder said: "There is a mode of dealing with those who have injured you, which is radically different " "I deal with such people in my own fashion!" "But, after all, the infamy is Graylock's. Why oblige him by sharing it with him?" "Do you know what he did to me and mine?" "A few of us know," said Guilder, gently, " your old friends."
Among others, soon after the hour of noon arrived Mynheer Poots; he had been informed of the death of the widow, but having a spare hour, he thought he might as well call, as it would raise his charges by another guilder. He first went into the room where the body lay, and from thence he proceeded to the chamber of Philip, and shook him by the shoulder.
"Yes," replied Philip in a voice of thunder, and starting from a reverie. After a moment's silence, the doctor recommenced. "Shall I come to-morrow, Mynheer Philip? You know that will be a charge of another guilder: it is of no use to throw away money or time either."
"So," said Rosamond, "here was a fine beginning of a romance with a shipwreck, that ends only in five square merchants, who do not lose even a guilder of their property, and a diplomatist, with whom we are sure of nothing but that he has lost a bundle of papers for which nobody cares!" In a few days the remembrance of the whole adventure began to fade from her fancy.
