After all, she seldom wore the sapphire months might pass without its absence being noted by Amherst's careless eye; and if Wyant should pawn it, she might somehow save money to buy it back before it was missed. She went through these calculations with feverish rapidity; then she turned again to Wyant. "You won't come back ever?" "I swear I won't," he said.
That is what makes him original in the American sense, and so recognizable in the New England sense. He is one of New England's strongest spokesmen, and takes his place by the side of Ryder, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Fuller, Whittier, and such representative temperaments, and it is this quality that distinguishes him from men like Inness, Wyant, and the less typical painters.
Wyant laid his hat and stick on the chapel steps and began to explore his pockets, in the irrational hope of finding there some clue to the mystery; but they held nothing which he had not himself put there, and he was reduced to wondering how the letter, supposing some unknown hand to have bestowed it on him, had happened to fall out while he stood motionless before the picture.
"She guards her carefully, at any rate. I could find out nothing." "About Bessy?" "About the general situation." "Including Miss Brent?" Mrs. Ansell smiled faintly. "I made one little discovery about her." "Well?" "She's intimate with the new doctor." "Wyant?" Mr. Langhope's interest dropped. "What of that? I believe she knew him before." "I daresay.
"Every word you say proves how unfit you are to assume any responsibility to do anything but try to recover your health. If I can help you to that, I am still willing to do so." Wyant rose also, moving a step nearer. "Well, get me that place, then I'll see to the rest: I'll keep straight." "No it's impossible." "You won't?" "I can't," she repeated firmly.
So much so that I was unduly disturbed, just now, by seeing that clever little doctor it was he, wasn't it, who came up the lawn with you?" "Dr. Wyant? Yes." Miss Brent hesitated again. "But he merely called with a message." "Not professionally? Tant mieux! The truth is, I was anxious about Bessy when I left I thought she ought to have gone abroad for a change.
If Amherst had caught the two o'clock express he would be at the house within the hour; and the only thing that seemed of consequence now, was that he should not meet Wyant. Supposing she still found courage to refuse there was no knowing how long the humiliating scene might be prolonged: and she must be rid of the creature at any cost.
The feeling kindled her own desire to escape again into the world of deeds, yet by a sudden reaction it checked the growing inclination for Stephen Wyant that had resulted from her revolt against Lynbrook. Here was a man as careless as Wyant of the minor forms, yet her appreciation of him was not affected by the lack of adaptability that she accused herself of criticizing in her suitor.
He is not as dramatic as either of these artists, but he has greater finesse in delicate sensibility. He was, I think, actually afraid of repetition, a characteristic very much in vogue in his time, either conscious or unconscious, in artists like Inness, Wyant, and Blakelock, with their so single note. There is exceptional mysticity hovering over his hills and stretches of dune and sky.
If you want to see him you must come now." "Then you think there's a chance? She nodded. He turned and looked at Wyant, who was writing assiduously. "You will stay here, Sybilla; I shall be back in a moment." He hurried out, locking the door behind him.
