I had no difficulty in finding occupation for my under-study, and, so far as I could judge, he attended to the business I placed in his hands as well as I could have done it myself; indeed, in some instances, he did it better, for he gave it more time and careful consideration.
My under-study looked troubled, more troubled than I had ever seen him before. "Why do you think of this?" he asked. "Where do you propose to go?" "Home," said I, "to my own house. That is the place where I want to be." Walkirk stood still and looked at me, his face still wearing an air of deep concern.
Her under-study is there a rude human figure behind a brass screen. You will worship this for reasons to be furnished presently. The Well of Fate. For certain reasons you will next go and do homage at this well. You will find it in the Dandpan Temple, in the city. The sunlight falls into it from a square hole in the masonry above. You will approach it with awe, for your life is now at stake.
When I returned to Arden, I gave Walkirk an outline of what had occurred, but I did not go into details, having no desire that the preposterous idea which had gotten into the head of Miss Laniston should enter that of my under-study. Walkirk was not in good spirits.
I think, Mr. Vanderley, that it would be of advantage to you to consider my proposition." I did consider it, and the next evening I engaged Chester Walkirk as an under-study. In order to be at hand when I might need him, Walkirk took up his residence at the village tavern, or, as some of us were pleased to call it, the inn.
Now, I should like very much to be your under-study, and I think in this capacity I could be of great service to you." I made no answer, but I am sure my countenance expressed surprise.
We had now reached each other, and stood together by the side of the road. "Well," said my under-study, "I have seen Mother Anastasia, and I have found her a very sensible woman, an admirable woman, I assure you. She was a good deal surprised when I told her my errand, for that was the first she had heard of the love-story; in fact, I suppose your secretary had not had time to tell her about it.
What do you say? Will next Friday do? Friday is the night of least consequence in a London theatre; and if you can arrange it with Mrs. Grey, I'll arrange it with Lehmann; my under-study is always glad of a chance of taking the part. You persuade Mrs. Grey, and I'll manage Lehmann. Is it a bargain?"
The former said that, if I attempted to write my book with my own hand, she feared the sedentary work would tell upon my health; and my under-study, while regretting very much that his efforts to provide me with an amanuensis had proved unsuccessful, showed very plainly, although he did not say so, that he hoped I had found that authorship was an annoying and unprofitable business, and that I would now devote myself to pursuits which were more congenial, and in which he could act for me when occasion required.
