Now he felt that he ought to try to rejoin him, to find out why he was at Hanaford, and make some proffer of hospitality; but if the stranger were really Wyant, his choice of the Station Avenue car made it appear that he was on his way to catch the New York express; and in any case Amherst's engagements at Westmore made immediate pursuit impossible.
As the distinction grew clearer, Justine trembled to think that she had so nearly pledged herself, without the excuse of love, to a man whose failings she could judge so lucidly.... But had she ever really thought of marrying Wyant? While she continued to talk with Amherst such a possibility became more and more remote, till she began to feel it was no more than a haunting dream.
He surpassed Durand, however, in his range of subject, for all hours and seasons had their charm for him, while Durand was really at home only in the full light of a summer day. On this foundation a loftier structure was soon built and the builders were George Inness, Alexander Wyant and Homer D. Martin.
And he certainly could not have had time to descend the stairs, walk the length of the house, ring up New York, and deliver Dr Garford's message.... The same thought seemed to strike the surgeon. "Hello, Wyant?" he said. "Line busy," said Wyant curtly. About this time, Justine gave up her night vigils.
Cruel in individual instances necessary for the general welfare. Of course your training has taught you all this; but I can understand that at such a time...." "Yes," she said, rising wearily as Wyant came in. Her worst misery, now, was to have to discuss Bessy's condition with Wyant. To the young physician Bessy was no longer a suffering, agonizing creature: she was a case a beautiful case.
But Sybilla does not care for what I think " At this point Doctor Lombard entered. He glanced sharply at Wyant. "The servant is a fool; she didn't tell me you were here." His eye turned to his wife. "Well, my dear, what have you been telling Mr. Wyant? About the aunts at Bonchurch, I'll be bound!" Mrs. Lombard looked triumphantly at Wyant, and her husband rubbed his hooked fingers, with a smile.
She had never before suspected Wyant of taking a drug, nor did she now suppose that he did so habitually; but to see him even momentarily under such an influence explained her instinctive sense of his weakness. She felt now that what would have been an insult on other lips was only a cry of distress from his; and once more she blamed herself and forgave him.
The old state of secure well-being seemed now like a dreamless sleep; but this new bliss, on its sharp pinnacle ringed with fire this thrilling conscious joy, daily and hourly snatched from fear this was living, not sleeping! Wyant acknowledged her gift with profuse, almost servile thanks.
For nearly an hour Wyant loitered on the Lizza, watching the shadows race across the naked landscape and the thunder blacken in the west; then he decided to set out for the House of the Dead Hand.
But in the evenings, when Cicely was in bed when he and she sat alone, together in the Westmore drawing-room in Bessy's drawing-room!... No she must find some excuse for remaining away till she had again grown used to the idea of being alone with Amherst. Every day she was growing a little more used to it; but it would take time time, and the full assurance that Wyant was silenced.
