He fought his lassitude of spirit as stubbornly as the periods of active pain, but both with the same result, the opposition probably only making both last the longer. He would doubtless have pulled through more quickly if he had gone away, joined Killigrew in Paris, or gone on some tour with Boase.
Killigrew was not a cynic, even at that age; he was merely supremely utilitarian. "Off you go," he said, "and remember I shall be timing you. The doctor must be at Cloom as soon as we are." "He shall be," declared Archelaus, and meant it. He kept his word.
"My dear widow, you are charming!" cried Colonel Killigrew, whose eyes had been fixed upon her face, while the shadows of age were flitting from it like darkness from the crimson daybreak.
Neither is more real than the other, though one is always bigger and more insistent than the other, and in the relative proportions lies every possibility. It was those parts of them which were out of key with the ordinary acceptances that were attuned in Ishmael and Killigrew, though neither was as yet aware they had such aspects, far less in what measure.
Karl Breitmann," reading the superscription aloud. "Yes, sir; first thing in the morning." Karl Breitmann! Fitzgerald pulled off a shoe, and carefully deposited it on the floor beside his chair.

By and by with Lord Bruncker by coach to his house, there to hear some Italian musique: and here we met Tom Killigrew, Sir Robert Murray, and the Italian Signor Baptista, who hath composed a play in Italian for the Opera, which T. Killigrew do intend to have up; and here he did sing one of the acts.
There was something in Ishmael which Boase had fathered and which knew and recognised its spiritual paternity. His mind had taken much colour from Killigrew, but from Boase it had taken form.
Cofferer Ashburnham; who told a good story of a prisoner's being condemned at Salisbury for a small matter. "Richardson, Ch. 9th. To White Hall; and here do hear, by Tom Killigrew and Mr. Progers, that for certain news is come of Harman's having spoiled nineteen of twenty-two French ships, somewhere about the Barbadoes, I think they said; but wherever it is, it is a good service and very welcome.
