The household had already been considerably reduced, and the indignant housekeeper immediately announced her intention of going to Mr. Colquhoun and inquiring whether young Mr. Luttrell had been legally empowered to manage his aunt's affairs. And seeing that this really was her intention, Hugo smiled and spoke her fair. "You're a little hard on me, Mrs. Shairp," he said, in dulcet tones.
As to "Philip," something that he saw in me helped to suggest the character that was all. There is much in Philip that is Clough himself, and there is a dialectic force in him that certainly was never in me. It was partly also the visit paid by my father and his friend, John Campbell Shairp, afterward Principal Shairp of St.
John Keble, by J. C. Shairp, Professor of Humanity, St. Andrews , pp. 12-17. I venture to add the judgment of another contemporary, on the effect of this preaching, from the Reminiscences of Sir F. Doyle, p. 145: That great man's extraordinary genius drew all those within his sphere, like a magnet, to attach themselves to him and his doctrines.
Shairp knew, and nothing more. "And where is Brian?" "Whaur should he be?" demanded the old woman, with some asperity. "Whaur but in's ain room, sair cast doun for the ill he has dune." "It was not his fault," said Hugo, quickly. "Maybe no," replied Mrs. Shairp, with reserve. "Maybe ay, maybe no; it's just the question though I wadna like to think that the lad meant to harm his brother."
Principal Shairp seems to say that Burns, had it not been for the accident of ecclesiastical discipline to which he had been subjected, would have joined the orthodox party. The notion is absurd. Burns had attacked orthodox Calvinism even in his boyhood, and was already tainted with heresy.
"What do you want with the housekeeper at this time of night?" he asked, carelessly. Kitty explained. Hugo raised his eyebrows. "Oh, is that all?" he said. "Really, Kitty, you make too much fuss about my aunt. She will do well enough. I won't have poor old Shairp called up from her bed to sit here till morning."
He wasna maybe sae shairp at the elements as this pirjinct body we hae noo, but a'body kent he was a terrible scholar and a credit tae the parish. Drumtochty was a name in thae days wi' the lads he sent tae college. It was maybe juist as weel he slippit awa' when he did, for he wud hae taen ill with thae new fikes, and nae college lad to warm his hert."
Shairp, relapsing into the tears she had been shedding for the last two hours or more. "Is it possible that ye've heard naething ava? The laird Netherglen himsel' oor maister and have you heard naething aboot him as you cam doun by the muir? I'd hae thocht shame to let you gang hame unkent, if I had been Jenny Burns at the lodge." "I did not come that way," said Hugo, impatiently.
Shairp for her communications. Before she had recovered from her astonishment, he was far down the corridor on his way to the other portion of the house. In which room had they laid Richard Luttrell? Hugo remembered with a shiver that he had not asked. He glanced round the hall with a thrill of nervous apprehension. The drawing-room and dining-room doors stood open; they were in darkness.
