There, you've left the door open; and whose is that hideous brute of a dog? Why, it looks like a timber-wolf. Send him out." Mrs. Malling talked far more rapidly than she walked, or rather trotted, under the force of her daughter's bustling excitement. Hervey went out into the hall to meet her. Standing framed in the doorway he saw his dog.
For he knew nearly all the devices of the charlatans. And when the so-called spirits came, the medium was always entranced, that is, apparently will-less, and so to Malling not interesting.
She said the last words with a significance which made Malling understand that she did not wish him to come to church at St. Joseph's again till she gave him the word. The rector let him out of the house. Not another word was spoken about Henry Chichester.
"And here is the professor!" said Malling, stopping short. That night when, very late, Mr. Harding and Malling returned to the red doll's house and let themselves into it with a latch-key, they found lying upon the table in the little hall a brown envelop. "A telegram!" said the rector. He took it into his hand and read the name on the envelop. "It's for me.
Malling retorted, with all the scorn she was capable of. "He's that fool-headed that he won't listen to no reason. Why couldn't he have stopped at the farm? Propriety fiddlesticks!" Her face was flushed and her brow ominously puckered; she folded her fat hands with no uncertain grip across the slight frontal hollow which answered her purpose for a waist.
Their own optimism had given way before the protracted delay. Tim Gleichen and Peter Furrers came first, Andy, the choreman, brought up the rear. "We've been thinking," said Tim, feeling it necessary to explain the process which had brought them to a certain conclusion, "that maybe we might just drive down the trail to see if we can see anything of him, Mrs. Malling.
His head was covered with a crown of bristly grey hair that seemed to grow in patches, and his feet were both turned in one direction to the right. "Take this plug and give him a rub down, Chintz," said Iredale. "When he's cool, water and feed him. Mr. Malling won't need him until about eight o'clock." Then he turned towards the house.
He dominated, because at that moment he made Malling feel as if he had some great possession of knowledge which Malling lacked. "And you?" said Malling. "Do you know?" The curate's lips worked, but he made no answer. Malling was aware of a great struggle in his mind, as of a combat in which two forces were engaged. He got up, walked to the window, and stood as if listening to the rain.
Then he got up, and said, with a changed voice and manner: "If the rector doesn't come to see me I shall have to go. Sunday is not a holiday, you know, for us clergymen." He drew out his watch and looked at it. "I shall have to go. I'm taking the Children's Service." Malling got up too. "Is it getting late?" he said. "Perhaps " At this moment the door was gently opened and Mr. Harding appeared.
Malling spoke strongly to determine, if possible, the rector to speak, to say out all that was in his heart. "Can I tell you?" Mr. Harding almost murmured. "Can I tell you?" "I think you asked me here that you might tell me something." "It is true. I did." "Then " "Let us sit down in this shelter. There is no one in it. People are going home."
