midday
Mr. Bredejord , as well as Erik , felt a great repugnance to act out such a comedy , and it was by no means certain that Dr. Schwaryencrona himself would be able to conform to his own programme . They determined to leave the matter to be decided by circumstances , and the behavior of Tudor Brown himself . They did not have to wait long . Precisely at midday the bell rang for dinner . Mr. Bredejord and the doctor , went to the table of the commander . There they found Tudor Brown already seated , with his hat on his head , and he did not manifest the least inclination to enter into any relations with his neighbors . The man proved to be so rude and coarse that he disarmed indignation .
