What put the grotesque fancy into his head, Lillyston did not know; probably some faint reminiscence of having been forced to shave after the trick which Bruce had played on him by painting his face with lamp-black and ochre.
He cried a little, and then suffered Lillyston to see him into his rooms, and to put him into a fair way towards going to bed. Taking the precaution to remove his razor, Lillyston locked the door upon him, and determined at once to get medical advice.
Julian, on the other hand, who knew far fewer men, could count among his new and old companions some real friends friends who would cling to him in adversity as well as in prosperity, and who loved him for his own sake, whether his fortunes were in sunshine or in cloud. First among these newly-acquired friends he counted the names of Owen and Kennedy, among the old ones of Lillyston and De Vayne.
"Detesting Byron's personal character, I should have said that the very wonder was a piece of idle and meddling presumption," said Owen. "And I should have answered that the Judge will do right," said Suton reverently. "Or if he wanted a text, `Who art thou that judgest another?" said Lillyston contemptuously. "And I," said Julian, should have said,
The boys heard a cry, and the master made a sign to Lillyston, who had already started to his feet. Springing out of the unclosed door, he found Julian half-fainting; for his home affections were the very mainsprings of his life.
Lillyston was a singular contrast with Brogten; originally they were about equal in ability, position, and strength. They had entered school in the same form, and, until Julian came, they had generally been placed near each other in the quarterly examinations. Both of them were strong and active, and without being clever or brilliant they were both possessed of respectable powers of mind.
"How long have you been here, Hugh?" "I came yesterday." "Have you seen your rooms yet?" "No; I am just going to look for them." "Well, come along; I know where they are." "But stop," said Julian, "I must go to the Eagle first for my people. They'll be expecting me." "Really. So Mrs Home's here?" asked Lillyston. "Yes, and my sister. If you've nothing to do, come and be introduced."
Lillyston sat on the sofa, and Julian kept his eyes fixed on the floor. There seemed nothing to talk about, so Lillyston merely said, "Good-night, Julian. I came to advise you to go to bed early, and so get a good night's rest, that you may be yourself to-morrow. You have not been yourself to-day. Good-night."
"And do you know that Kennedy is to be married to Violet the same day?" "Is he? happy fellow! As for me, I am going to resign my fellowship, and to make myself useful at Lillyston Court. When is the wedding to be?" "Both weddings, you mean, Hugh. On the tenth of next June at Orton-on-the-Sea the loveliest spot in the world, I think."
So, when I asked him if he'd a-tea'd, and if I should take away the things, he begins a banging his chairs about, you see, sir, quite uncomfortable." Lillyston immediately ran up-stairs. The violent fit seemed to have subsided, for Hazlet, peering out of a corner, with wandering, spectacled eyes, quite cowered when he saw him. Lillyston was shocked at the spectacle he presented.
