"Oh, it was never laid before them. As I tell you, Mandeville and I decided that it could not be regarded as a report, or even as an indication of Maturin's opinion. We only referred to Maturin at all because because we wanted to be absolutely candid."
Maturin's inflections, and the relics of a high-school manner were rapidly eliminated.
You're the very first I've not had to argue with as to what is and what is not a public school. Expelled?" "No," I said, after a moment's hesitation; "no, I was not expelled. And I hope you won't expel me if I ask a question in my turn?" "Certainly not." "Are you Mr. Maturin's son?" "No, my name's Theobald. You may have seen it down below." "The doctor?" I said.
He had a large, shapely, imposing presence, and dark and flashing eyes. I remember well his rendering of the main role in Maturin's "Bertram, or the Castle of St. Aldobrand." Some of the Bowery actresses were remarkably good. I remember Mrs. Pritchard in "Tour de Nesle," and Mrs. McClure in "Fatal Curiosity," and as Millwood in "George Barnwell."
There was no chorus of indignation, no denial of Maturin's authority, no good-natured scoffing such as Morewood had expected. He looked round on faces fallen into a sudden troubled seriousness; no voice was raised in protest, gay or grave. In an instant he knew that he had done something far beyond what his humour had suggested; but what it was or how it came about, he could not tell.
Let it not be imagined, from any thing we have now said, that we think meanly of Mr. Maturin's genius and abilities.
"I shouldn't understand them," she protested. "But they all agree, do they?" "Yes, all," he said emphatically. "Well, all except one." His brow wrinkled a little. "Mandeville insisted on having an opinion from Professor Maturin. I was against it. Maturin's absurdly pessimistic." "He's a great man, isn't he?" "Oh, yes, I suppose so, he's got a great reputation anyhow." "And he's against you?"
