"Certainly not, Blackall, you've let Eden do what is forbidden; you are setting him a bad example. I shall therefore be glad to take him away from you. He wishes to accompany me, and I shall let him do so," was the answer. "Oh, you're a puritanical saint, Lemon, all the school knows that," said Blackall with a sneer with which he hoped to cover his own retreat.
"Perhaps Blackall would rather not fence with me, sir," observed Ernest to the fencing-master. "Oh, nonsense, nonsense. Take up your foil and begin," was the answer he received. "I am ready to fence with you. Come here in this corner of the room, out of the way," said Blackall suddenly. Ernest followed him. He remarked that there was a peculiarly evil look in his eye.
It is no question of that sort but in your present state of health you are not up to your work, and there was no other alternative." "Oh!" said Bella disagreeably, "does anybody else say I am not up to work except you?" "My dear Miss Blackall, I regret that this has been necessary.
While studying at Leyden he became a sceptic, and in 1695 published his "Christianity not Mysterious," a work which aroused a wide controversy. In his "Life of Milton" he denied that King Charles was the author of "Eikon Basilikae," and also attacked the Gospels. This also brought upon him rejoinders from Dr. Blackall and Dr. Samuel Clarke.
Ernest kept his eye on his opponent's, but said nothing, and in no other way showed that he was aware of his evil intentions. Blackall at length began to lose his temper at his own failures: he ground his teeth and turned savage glances towards Bracebridge, who met them with a quiet look, free, at the same time, from scorn or anger.
"That fellow Blackall and his tongue is a pest to society. If he simply bullied he could do very little harm; but, I say, what is the matter with Ellis? how pale and wretched he looks!" "Bracebridge," said Ellis, coming round to him hurriedly, "who is this fellow Barber? Where does he come from? Do you know? Oh, tell me!" "From Doctor Graham's at Hampstead. I know for certain.
"I will report your conduct to the Doctor, and hear what he has to say to it." Blackall was left in a great fright. He did not know what part of his conduct might be reported, and he felt conscious that he was guilty of many things which, if known, would cause him to be expelled.
Blackall, who was sitting alone by himself, looking at the grass, saw his shadow slowly pass along before him. Lifting up his lack-lustre eyes, they fell on Tom. He immediately started up, and seized him by the collar. "Ah, my fine fellow, I've caught you at last, and all alone. I wanted to find you, and now I'll pay you off with a thrashing which you will remember to the end of your days."
"Come, let us begin, and have no child's play," exclaimed Blackall with vehemence, throwing himself into the attitude to engage. He made several rapid passes, which Ernest parried dexterously. As he did so, he observed that his adversary's foil had no button on it.
Blackall could not help a certain pity for her son-in-law, although in her opinion he had brought the thing upon himself, and the very compassion she felt for his suffering had the effect of making her more harsh and unsympathetic. "What did you expect?" she asked.
