"Well, sir, good morning to you," said Mr. Beckendorff; "I am sorry you are going. Had I known it sooner I would have given you a letter. Mr. von Philipson," said Beckendorff, "do me the favour of looking over that paper." So saying, Mr. Beckendorff put some official report into the Prince's hand; and while his Highness' attention was attracted by this sudden request, Mr.
So he carried off the now valueless document, which would not eat or drink, he reckoned, and might be put to some purpose some day. Mr Burke returned home and wrote to his sister, and to Stephen Philipson, telling them what he had done.
"No; you must bear in mind that young Philipson had passed the preceding five years of his life amongst demi-savages, whose manners and customs he had, to a certain extent, necessarily contracted. In some countries, what we call crimes are only regarded as peccadillos.
"I hope that Clara has given you wine you like, Mr. von Philipson?" "The same bin, I will answer for that." Mr. Beckendorff had his violin in his hand, but his dress was much changed. His great boots being pulled off, exhibited the white silk stockings which he invariably wore. His coat had given place to the easier covering of a brocade dressing-gown.
'Ladies and gentlemen, said he, 'permit me to introduce Mr. Herbert Philipson, who has just arrived from Sumatra. You may readily conceive the dismay this unexpected announcement called up into the countenances of the guests. There was only one person in the room who was calm, tranquil, and unmoved that person was Cecilia herself.
Philipson gives an account of a female servant of twenty-three who suffered from a neurosis which influenced the vasomotor nervous system, and caused hysteria associated with abnormal temperatures. Steel of Manchester speaks of a hysteric female of twenty, whose temperature was 116.4 degrees.
But he would not destroy the second will, but keep it to extort more money out of him with it. Also, if Philipson were to die and his habits were such that he was not likely to be long lived he would find out Mary Forsyth or Reginald Kavanagh, the persons interested, and see what they would give for the document, the loss of which had disinherited them.
But this inconvenience was soon removed by Mr. Beckendorff rising and giving three loud knocks on the door opposite to the one by which they had entered. Immediate silence ensued. "Clara will change your plate, Mr. von Philipson," said Beckendorff.
"When the cholera appeared in England, he was sure to be found where the cases were most numerous. He followed up the pest with so much pertinacity and publicity, that it was no unusual thing to find it announced in the newspapers that Philipson and the cholera had arrived in such and such a town." "The bane and the antidote," remarked Jack.
While they were hesitating as to whom they should address, an equestrian, who had already passed them on the road, though at some distance, came up, and inquired, in a voice which Vivian recognised as that of the messenger who had brought Beckendorff's letter to Turriparva, whether he had the honour of addressing Mr. von Philipson.
