At last, at the opening of the study-door we stood in the hall still those blushes rose up to her forehead in one involuntary tide. But it was only Edwin, who had lately taken to a habit of getting up very early, to study mathematics. He looked surprised at seeing me with Miss Silver. "What is that box? She is not going?" "No; I have been entreating her not. Add your persuasions, Edwin."
I waited just long enough to see the baffled officers unbarring the window shutters for the purpose of giving the alarm, before I closed the peephole, and with a farewell look at the distorted face of my prostrate enemy, Screw, left the room. The doctor's study-door was open as I passed it on my way downstairs.
Gypsy, immediately upon her return from the Archangel, stationed herself at the key-hole of the study-door, and saw all that occurred. M. Fauvel laid the pistol on the mantel-piece, and nervously resealed the letter, which he then took to the box where the letters were usually left, not wishing anyone to know that Raoul's letter had passed through his hands.
With such an engrossing subject it was, perhaps, no wonder that he unconsciously neglected his father; but it was none the less sad at the time, and to be regretted in its consequences. 'I may come in and have a pipe with you, sir, mayn't I? said Roger, that first evening, pushing gently against the study-door, which his father held only half open.
We have all heard the story of Isaac Newton how he cut two holes in his study-door, a large one for his cat to enter by, and a small one for the kitten. This unworldliness this impossibility, if you please is characteristic of intellectual progression.
There were loud exclamations from many against Phil, against one another, and against themselves; and now everybody was eager to go. Phil stopped all who had started off, saying that it was his business; and the next moment, Phil was at Mr Tooke's study-door, asking leave of absence till supper. "Little Holt has been beforehand with you," said Mr Tooke.
Peering at her over the tops of her eyes, Miranda vaguely lifted a white foot. 'Why ask me that? she seemed to say. 'How am I to know? Are we not all like this? Her conduct, coming at that moment, over-tried Cecilia's nerves. She threw open Hilary's study-door, saying sharply: "Go in and find your master!" Miranda did not move, but Hilary came out instead.
Every night that week he locked his study-door, and threats and kicks and entreaties would not open it even to his dearest friends. And slowly the huge white sheet before him showed the signs of his diligence. The great long columns, one after another, filled up; paragraph followed paragraph, and article article.
A knock at the Reverend Mr. Fairweather's study-door called his eyes from the book on which they were intent. He looked up, as if expecting a welcome guest. The Reverend Pierrepont Honeywood, D.D., entered the study of the Reverend Chauncy Fairweather. He was not the expected guest. Mr. Fairweather slipped the book he was reading into a half-open drawer, and pushed in the drawer.
"The dunce subjective is the dunce from his own point of view, the dunce with his eyes turned inward, confining his duncehood to the bosom of his family. The dunce objective is the dunce butting against his neighbor's study-door, intruding, obtruding, protruding his insipid folly and still more insipid wisdom at all times and seasons. He is a creature utterly devoid of shame.
