Don't you be shy about going to him when he sends for you.
He likes to show the world that he can bear his sufferings with a light heart, and is ready to die to-morrow without a pang or a regret. Who was the fellow who sent for a fellow to let him see how a Christian could die? I can fancy my father doing the same thing, only there would be nothing about Christianity in the message.
He would bid you come and see a pagan depart in peace, and would be very unhappy if he thought that your dinner would be disturbed by the ceremony.
Now come down to breakfast, and then we'll go out shooting." For three days Harry remained at Tretton, and ate and drank, and shot and rode, always in young Scarborough's company.
During this time he did not see the old squire, and understood from Miss Scarborough's absence that he was still suffering from his late attack.
