"Who was first?" asked Lillyston. "Oh, Home of course; except in one paper, and Kennedy was first in that." "I believe that was the Aeschylus paper," said Brogten, throwing the slightest unusual emphasis into his tone; "you were first in that, weren't you, Kennedy?"
On the way they passed through Barton Wood, and there found some fine specimens of herb Paris, with large bright purple berries resting on its topmost trifoliations, one of which Julian eagerly seized, saying that his sister had long wanted one for her collection of dried plants. "I suppose you want the one you have gathered, De Vayne, for some botanist," said Lillyston.
But remember that the two best things happened to David which could possibly happen to a man who has committed a crime." "Namely?" "Speedy detection," said Lillyston. "And prompt punishment," added Julian; "but for these there's no knowing what would have become of him." Unsatisfactory as the discussion had been, yet those words rang hauntingly in Kennedy's ears; he could not forget them.
Come and help me." He began to busy himself about setting the tea-things, and cutting the bread, while he occupied Hazlet in pouring out the water and attending to the kettle. Hazlet started violently every now and then, and looked with a terrified side-glance at Lillyston, as though apprehensive of some wrong.
"Well, now, that would have made a capital ghost story," said Lillyston, "if you had been a little more imaginative and nervous. And still more if the illusion had only been partially optical, and partly the result of excited feelings."
Ah, here Lillyston comes." "What an honest open face," said Kennedy. "Like the soul which looks through it, sans peur et sans reproche," said Julian warmly. "Rather a contrast to the last comer," murmured Kennedy, as he picked up his cap and gown to walk to the lecture-room. "There, don't think of Hazlet any more," said Julian.
"I can't make you out, Julian," said Lillyston; "sometimes you grind away for a month like like beans, and then you're as idle again for a week as the dog that laid his head against a wall to bark." "Well, shall I tell you, Hugh?" answered Julian, who had often felt that it would be a relief to put his friend in possession of the secret.
What fearful hurt Julian might have received from so heavy a weapon in so powerful a hand, or how far Brogten's fury might have transported him, none can tell; but at that very moment he heard a step on the stairs, which arrested his violence, and the moment after Lillyston entered. "What!" said Lillyston indignantly, as he caught the almost diabolical expression of Brogten's face.
But with all his efforts he could not stir Lillyston from the door, and only succeeded in tearing his surplice from the neck downwards. He paused, and, baffled of his intention, glared at his opponent. "The clock has now struck," said Lillyston calmly, "and the doors will be shut. You are too late to get in."
It only remained therefore to see Lillyston, and to this visit Julian looked with unmitigated joy. "Forgive me, Hugh," he said, as he entered the room; "from this time forward I shall owe you a new debt of gratitude; you have saved me from I know not what disgrace." Lillyston was delighted to see him look like his old self once more.
