The instant he showed himself in the room, Mrs. Gallilee recognised him with a shriek of fury. The nurses held her back while Mr. Mool dragged him out again, and shut the door. The object of the doctors had been gained. His own eyes had convinced him of the terrible necessity of placing his wife under restraint. She was removed to a private asylum.
I never encouraged the doctor to speak of my brother and his wife. The subject was too distasteful to me and I don't doubt that Doctor Benjulia felt about it as I did." "Until to-day," the lawyer remarked; "Doctor Benjulia appears to have been quite ready to mention the subject to-day." "Under special circumstances, Mr. Mool.
"The person must call to-morrow." The boy laid the card on the table. The person was Mrs. Gallilee. Mrs. Gallilee, at seven o'clock in the evening! Mrs. Gallilee, without a previous appointment by letter! Mr. Mool trembled under the apprehension of some serious family emergency, in imminent need of legal interference. He submitted as a matter of course. "Show the lady in."
Mool had been present, during the registration of that solemn pledge, he would have been irresistibly reminded of the other ceremony, which is called signing a deed. "Have you any instructions to give me?" Mrs. Gallilee proceeded. "For instance, do you object to my taking Carmina to parties? I mean, of course, parties which will improve her mind."
Mool's astonishment and indignation would have instantly expressed themselves, if he had not been a lawyer. As it was, his professional experience warned him of the imprudence of speaking too soon. Mrs. Galilee's exultation forced its way outwards. Her eyes glittered; her voice rose. "The law, Mr. Mool! what does the law say?" she broke out. "Is my brother's Will no better than waste-paper?
Mool interposed. "Are they in any way connected with this dreadful state of things?" He put that question eagerly, as if he had some strong personal interest in hearing the reply. Mr. Null blundered on steadily with his story.
"Your time is valuable, and my time is valuable," she said. "We shall not convince each other by prolonging our conversation. I came here, Mr. Mool, to ask you a question about the law. Permit me to remind you that I have not had my answer yet. My own impression is that the girl now in my house, not being my brother's child, has no claim on my brother's property?
He looked with alarm at the ghastly face of the cook as she ran past him, making for the kitchen stairs. "I'm afraid I intrude on you at an unfortunate time," he said to Benjulia. "Pray excuse me; I will call again." "Come in, sir." The doctor spoke absently, looking towards the hall, and thinking of something else. The gentleman entered the room. "My name is Mool," he said.
Mool returning from a legal consultation to an appointment at his office found a gentleman, whom he knew by sight, walking up and down before his door; apparently bent on intercepting him. "Mr. Null, I believe?" he said, with his customary politeness. Mr. Null answered to his name, and asked for a moment of Mr. Mool's time. Mr. Mool looked grave, and said he was late for an appointment already.
Gallilee might not object to waive her claims, until time has softened existing asperities. Surely, a compromise is possible, if you could only prevail on yourself to forgive your wife." "Forgive her? I should be only too glad to forgive her!" cried Mr. Gallilee, bursting into violent agitation. "How am I to do it? Good God! Mool, how am I to do it? You didn't hear those infamous words.
