When I recovered I found that my foe, whose sick-chamber was crowded with friends and comforters, had taken advantage of my illness to ruin my reputation. He, the swindler, accused me of his own crime: the equivocal character of my uncle confirmed the charge. Him, his own high- born pupil was enabled to unmask, and his disgrace was visited on me.
"That is quite true," said the maid, "and you may as well wait in the corridor. Madame may wish to speak to you herself, and give you her own message or note to the doctor." Beck, full of gloomy suspicions, gladly obeyed, and while the maid entered the sick-chamber, stood anxiously without. Presently Varney passed him, and knocked at Helen's door; the maid half-opened it.
Margery, whose element was a sick-chamber, had been already despatched to that of the young knight, to attend to whatever his condition might require. Eveline entered the room with a light step, as if unwilling to disturb the patient. She paused at the door, and cast her eyes around her. It had been her father's chamber; nor had she entered it since his violent death.
No home, no future, but the thought of her child, could wean her from this sorrow. Miss Benson was a little piqued; and this pique showed itself afterwards in talking to her brother of the morning's proceedings in the sick-chamber.
"Never mind," whispered Bill; "the chances are that the dogs are tied up, and if we keep moving the people won't see us." They passed through the village or hamlet. They were still, they knew, some distance from the harbour. Here and there only could they see a light twinkling from a window, probably of some sick-chamber.
And now the judge went to the patient with the intention of praising his courage and offering him some proper reward for his services as, for instance, a permanent situation to work on the estate for good wages. And so Judge Merlin entered the sick-chamber, which was no longer darkened, but had all the windows open to admit the light and air.
When they came opposite the Rectory, Lord Hartledon wished him good day and more strength, in his genial manner, and turned in at the Rectory gates. About once a week he was in the habit of calling upon Mrs. Ashton. Peace was between them; and these visits to her sick-chamber were strangely welcome to her heart. She had loved Val Elster all her life, and she loved him still, in spite of the past.
It was not easy for Luther to say, let him die, either. Elizabeth remembered at that point that Hugh's medicine was long overdue, that medicine was more important just now than any of the questions with which she had been struggling. With a frightened little cry she ran to the house and to the sick-chamber.
As the end of Mark's sickness approached, he became more and more dependent upon her, and only his mother could take her place with him. He loved his father dearly, but his father never staid more than a moment or two in the sick-chamber. Mark at length went away to find his twin; and his mother and Barbara wept, but not all in sorrow. One morning, the week after Mark's death, Mr.
Messages went forth for nurses and medicines and the paraphernalia of a luxurious sick-chamber, and-the lady of the house being absurdly anxious for a great London specialist, whose fee, in Dr. Fuller's quiet eyes, would be amusingly fantastic.
