The painter, who had very little gall in his disposition, was
satisfied with this apology; but his resentment, which was before
divided, now glowed with double fire against his first fellow-traveller,
whom he looked upon as the author of all the mischances he had
undergone, and marked out for his vengeance accordingly. Yet the
doors of reconciliation were not shut against the doctor, who, with
great justice, might have transferred this load of offence from
himself to Peregrine, who was, without doubt, the source of the
painter's misfortune: but, in that case, he must have owned himself
mistaken in his medical capacity, and he did not think the friendship
of Pallet important enough to be retrieved by such condescension;
so that he resolved to neglect him entirely, and gradually forget
the former correspondence he had maintained with a person whom he
deemed so unworthy of his notice.


CHAPTER LVIII.


Peregrine, almost distracted with his Disappointment, conjures the
fair Fleming to permit his Visits at Brussels--She withdraws from
his Pursuit.
