The
fact
was
,
that
Mr.
Giles
had
not
,
at
first
,
been
able
to
bring
his
mind
to
the
avowal
,
that
he
had
only
shot
a
boy
.
Such
commendations
had
been
bestowed
upon
his
bravery
,
that
he
could
not
,
for
the
life
of
him
,
help
postponing
the
explanation
for
a
few
delicious
minutes
;
during
which
he
had
flourished
,
in
the
very
zenith
of
a
brief
reputation
for
undaunted
courage
.
'
Rose
wished
to
see
the
man
,
'
said
Mrs.
Maylie
,
'
but
I
would
n't
hear
of
it
.
'
'
Humph
!
'
rejoined
the
doctor
.
'
There
is
nothing
very
alarming
in
his
appearance
.
Have
you
any
objection
to
see
him
in
my
presence
?
'
'
If
it
be
necessary
,
'
replied
the
old
lady
,
'
certainly
not
.
'
'
Then
I
think
it
is
necessary
,
'
said
the
doctor
;
'
at
all
events
,
I
am
quite
sure
that
you
would
deeply
regret
not
having
done
so
,
if
you
postponed
it
.
He
is
perfectly
quiet
and
comfortable
now
Allow
me
--
Miss
Rose
,
will
you
permit
me
?
Not
the
slightest
fear
,
I
pledge
you
my
honour
!
'
With
many
loquacious
assurances
that
they
would
be
agreeably
surprised
in
the
aspect
of
the
criminal
,
the
doctor
drew
the
young
lady
's
arm
through
one
of
him
;
and
offering
his
disengaged
hand
to
Mrs.
Maylie
,
led
them
,
with
much
ceremony
and
stateliness
,
upstairs
.
'
Now
,
'
said
the
doctor
,
in
a
whisper
,
as
he
softly
turned
the
handle
of
a
bedroom-door
,
'
let
us
hear
what
you
think
of
him
.
He
has
not
been
shaved
very
recently
,
but
he
do
n't
look
at
all
ferocious
notwithstanding
.
Stop
,
though
!
Let
me
first
see
that
he
is
in
visiting
order
.
'
Stepping
before
them
,
he
looked
into
the
room
.
Motioning
them
to
advance
,
he
closed
the
door
when
they
had
entered
;
and
gently
drew
back
the
curtains
of
the
bed
.
Upon
it
,
in
lieu
of
the
dogged
,
black-visaged
ruffian
they
had
expected
to
behold
,
there
lay
a
mere
child
:
worn
with
pain
and
exhaustion
,
and
sunk
into
a
deep
sleep
.
His
wounded
arm
,
bound
and
splintered
up
,
was
crossed
upon
his
breast
;
his
head
reclined
upon
the
other
arm
,
which
was
half
hidden
by
his
long
hair
,
as
it
streamed
over
the
pillow
.
The
honest
gentleman
held
the
curtain
in
his
hand
,
and
looked
on
,
for
a
minute
or
so
,
in
silence
.
Whilst
he
was
watching
the
patient
thus
,
the
younger
lady
glided
softly
past
,
and
seating
herself
in
a
chair
by
the
bedside
,
gathered
Oliver
's
hair
from
his
face
.
As
she
stooped
over
him
,
her
tears
fell
upon
his
forehead
.
