Dr. Greydon and Barclugh enjoyed a social pipe in the library after breakfast, until the Doctor suggested:
“Since you have been awake all night the best thing for you to do is to take a rest.”
The suggestion was eagerly taken up by Barclugh, for he needed rest and seclusion. Therefore, he excused himself, and went to his chamber and sat down in a large chair with a resignation becoming a better cause than his.
He began to think of the excitement of ensnaring Arnold the night before, and then the voice of that beautiful girl:
“Had I but serv’d my God with half the zeal
“I serv’d my king....”
rang in his ears.
He jumped up and placed his clenched fists in his hair, and exclaimed:
“My God, I am blushing again! What ails me? I tremble. Oh, that face! that voice! those words deep in wisdom! Great God! I am in love!”
