If you was to pull that 'andle to the right, it would slide along same as this one. Only I expect there's somebody in the room there. "I rewarded Mr. Towler with half a sovereign, which he evidently thought liberal, and he departed gleefully. Shortly afterwards I learned that he had 'got a stretch' in connection with a 'job' at Camberwell; and he vanished from my ken.
He had been up ever since five o'clock, Towler said; but it was impossible to get him to dress himself, or suffer himself to be dressed. A frightful restlessness had taken possession of him, more intense than any previous restlessness, and it was impossible to do anything for him.
He cut the thread that bound it; and almost at once: "I knew I was right," he said. And holding out a paper to Mme. Favoral: "Read, madame, if you please." It was a bill. She read thus: "Sold to M. Favoral an India Cashmere, fr. 8,500. Received payment, FORBE & Towler." "Is it for you, madame," asked the commissary, "that this magnificent shawl was bought?"
Later on in the evening a traveler's horse was brought in by the second hostler, and while he was cleaning him a young man with a pipe in his mouth lounged into the stable to gossip. "I say, Towler," said the hostler, "just run up the ladder into the loft and put some hay down into this horse's rack, will you? only lay down your pipe."
Towler is not a bad fellow, but he irritates me sometimes. Last night he let a black-muzzled gipsy brute hide behind my curtains, and then told me it was my "delusions." Delusions! when I saw the fellow as plain as I see you now. Ida was silent. She had hoped that the patient had passed this stage, and was on the road to recovery of health and reason.
She was the exact antithesis to Abra; Abra, if I remember, used to come before they called her name, but no matter how often they called Towler, everyone came before she did. I suppose they spelt her name Taula, but to me it sounded Towler; I never, however, met anyone else with this name. She was a sweet, artless little hussy, who made me play the piano to her, and she said it was lovely.
'None of them here, repeated he, staring vacantly at the uneven pack. 'Just you call them, repeated he, 'and I'll put them to you. 'Oh yes! rejoined Mr. Sponge; 'call one or two by their names, and the rest will follow. 'Names! 'Towler! Towler!
'I never knew such a brain, or such invention! exclaimed Towler; 'the people and the places, and the things he talks about is enough to make a man's hair stand on end. 'The natural result of a vivid memory, and a good deal of desultory reading. 'Most patients takes an idea and harps upon it, said Towler.
I know people by their friends, and he went about with Virgil, so I said with some severity, "No, Dante, il naso della Signora Robinson e vero, ma non e bello"; and he admitted I was right. Beatrice's name is Towler; she is waitress at a small inn in German Switzerland. I used to sit at my window and hear people call "Towler, Towler, Towler," fifty times in a forenoon.
Jardine appeared at this moment He questioned Towler as to the possibility of tranquillising his patient; and he found that the sedatives prescribed by Dr. Mallison had ceased to exercise any beneficial effect. Nights of insomnia and restlessness had been the rule with the patient ever since Towler had been in attendance upon him.
