By good luck, though, Carl ran across an old teacher from Wexiö, one of the few who had believed in him and was glad to see him. He took him to the Rector and introduced him with warm words of commendation, and also found him lodgings under the roof of Dr. Kilian Stobæus. Dr. Stobæus was a physician of renown, but not good company.
"I think we are all sorry," said Henrietta the tranquil. "Miss d'Estrée confided to me that she'd be glad to see him," said Kilian, cutting up another woodcock and looking at his plate.
I said all the wild and frantic things that were in my heart, as he closed the library-door and led me to my room. "Try to say your prayers, Pauline," was all he could answer me. I did try to say them, as I knelt by the window, and saw in the dull, gray dawn, those two carriages drive slowly from the door. Richard went away alone. Kilian indeed came down-stairs just as he was starting.
Kilian the Irishman at Wurzburg; heathen Slaves, of different tribes, who had introduced into Europe the custom of impaling their captives: and woe to the Christian priest who fell into any of their hands. To be knocked on the head before some ugly idol was the gentlest death which they were like to have.
When I came down-stairs they were all at tea and Kilian had arrived. A more enlivening atmosphere prevailed, and the invalid was not discussed. A drive was being canvassed. There was an early moon, and Kilian proposed driving Tom and Jerry before the open wagon, which would carry four, through the valley-road, to be back by half-past nine or ten o'clock.
A certain snoring proved that Kinko was inside as usual, and sleeping peacefully. I did not care to wake him, and I left him to dream of his adorable Roumanian. In the morning Popof told me that the train, which was now traveling about as fast as an omnibus, had passed Kargalik, the junction for the Kilian and Tong branches.
"I do not know," said Richard, and nobody doubted that he told the truth. "It had begun to darken before we came up from the river." said Charlotte Benson. "The clouds were rising rapidly as we came in. It will be a fearful tempest." "Are the windows all shut?" said Sophie to the servant. "I should think so," exclaimed Kilian. "The heat is horrid."
"Ah!" said Kilian, with a momentary release from his admirer. "And when is he coming home?" I looked up with quick interest, and met Mrs. Hollenbeck's eyes, which seemed to be always on me. Then I turned mine down the table uncomfortably, and found Charlotte Benson looking at me too. "Not for two weeks yet," said his sister; "not for two whole weeks." "How sorry I am," said Charlotte Benson.
"Yes, a family trait," interrupted Charlotte, at which everybody laughed, no one more cordially than Miss Leighton. "Leave off laughing at my Uncle Richard," said Benny, stoutly, with his cheeks quite flushed. "We have, dear, and are laughing at your Uncle Kilian.
By and bye Kilian went away to take off his wet clothes, and he did not come back again, but sent down a message to his sister that he was very tired and should go to bed, but if he were wanted for anything he could be called. This was not heroic of Kilian, but, after the manner of men, he was apt to keep away from the sight of disagreeable things.
