"And mind," said he, "the faithful pugilists must go with you." The morning's post rendered that needless. It brought another letter from Suaby, informing Mr. Rolfe that the Commissioners had positively discharged Sir Charles, and notified the discharge to Richard Bassett. Sir Charles took leave of Mr. Rolfe as of a man who was to be his bosom friend for life, and proceeded to hunt his wife.
Suaby and Rolfe had much ado not to laugh right out; but Sir Charles said, gravely, he was not crazy. "Do I look crazy, Moss?" "That ye doan't; you look twice the man you did. "No, no," said Rolfe, "we have not commenced our nightly debauch yet; only just done dinner." "Then there goes another. This will be good news to home.
Leaving, for the present, matters not essential to this vein of incident, I jump to what occurred toward evening. Just after dinner the servant who waited told Dr. Suaby that a man had walked all the way from Huntercombe to see Sir Charles Bassett. "Poor fellow!" said Dr. Suaby; "I should like to see him. Would you mind receiving him here?" "Oh, no."
There's a hideous old man wants me to marry him; and I won't. And he has put me in here, and keeps me prisoner till I will. They are all on his side, especially that sanctified old guy, Suaby. They drug my wine, they stupefy me, they give me things to make me naughty and tipsy; but it is no use; I never will marry that old goat that for his money and him I'll die first.
Then I will come down myself, with the public press at my back. But I am sure that will not be necessary in Dr. Suaby's asylum. He is a better Christian than I am, confound him for it! You went too soon; your husband had been agitated by the capture; Suaby was away; Salter had probably applied what he imagined to be soothing remedies, leeches a blister morphia.
Given to the bugs and fleas, it would have been an effectual antidote; but they gave it to the patients, and so the insects won. These three keepers came with an order correctly drawn, and signed by Richard Bassett, to deliver Sir Charles to the agents showing the order. Suaby, who had a horror of Burdoch, turned pale at the sight of the order, and took it to Rolfe. "Resist!" said that worthy.
Sorry we have not another lady to keep you company, madam." "Are you? Then I'm not," said the lady smartly. The dinner passed like any other, only Rolfe observed that Dr. Suaby took every fair opportunity of drawing the pluckless Mr. Hyam into conversation, and that he coldly ignored the Exquisite. "I have seen that young man about town, I think," said Mr. Rolfe. "Where was it, I wonder?"
He cursed the delay, gave the man the money, and urged expedition. The money was brought and paid, and Suaby informed Sir Charles. But Sir Charles was not obliged to hurry. He took a long time to pack; and he was not ready till Vandeleur brought a note to him from Rolfe. Then Sir Charles came down.
That means the grave, my boys, the silent grave. "Notwithstanding this stern decree, Suaby expects to turn him out cured in a few months. "Miss Wieland, a very pretty girl, put her arm in mine, and drew me mysteriously apart. 'So you are collecting the villainies, said she, sotto voce. 'It will take you all your time. I'll tell you mine.
We must therefore guard against that at once. To work, then. Who keeps this famous asylum?" "Dr. Suaby." "Suaby? I know that name. He has been here, I think. Suaby? Not down. Try Asyla. Asyla; 'Suaby: see letter-book for the year , p. 368. An old letter-book. I must go elsewhere for that." He went out, and after some time returned with a folio letter-book. "Here are two letters to me from Dr.
