my good Lyddy,¡¯ said Mr Lyon, wearily; ¡®depart into the
kitchen.¡¯</p><p>The ominous anxiety of our armourer had not played
him false. When the good glover parted with his intended son in law, after
the judicial combat had been decided, he found what he indeed had expected,
that his fair daughter was in no favourable disposition towards her lover.
But although he perceived that Catharine was cold, restrained, collected,
had cast away the appearance of mortal passion, and listened with a reserve,
implying contempt, to the most splendid description he could give her of
the combat in the Skinners¡¯ Yards, he was determined not to take the
least notice of her altered manner, but to speak of her marriage with his
son Henry as a thing which must of course take place. At length, when she
began, as on a former occasion, to intimate that her attachment to the
armourer did not exceed the bounds of friendship, that she was resolved
never to marry, that the pretended judicial combat was a mockery of the
divine will, and of human laws, the glover not unnaturally grew
angry.</p><p>¡®Your exotics at Boxall Hill are very fine, magnificent!
¡¯</p><p>¡®Lord Dumbello is so completely his own master that
that has not been necessary,¡¯ said Mrs Grantly. ¡®The marquess
has been told, and the archdeacon will see him either tomorrow or the day
after.¡¯ There was nothing left for Lady Lufton but to congratulate
her friend, and this she did in words perhaps not very sincere, but which,
on the whole, were not badly chosen.</p><p></p><p>Watching her with
malicious curiosity, Mrs. Sowler coolly possessed herself of the letter,
looked at it, and recognized the writing in her turn. "Stop!" she cried, as
the servant was on the point of going out. "There¡¯s no stamp on this
letter. Was it brought by hand? Is the messenger waiting?"</p><p>"Oh, no,
no! Oh, how cruel you are!" The ready tears showed themselves again in her
magnificent eyes ¡ª gentle considerate tears that raised no storm in her
bosom, and produced no unbecoming results in her face. "Don¡¯t be hard
on me!" she said, appealing to him helplessly, like a charming overgrown
child.</p><p>"Away with Rothsay! he is too gay to be our judge," again
exclaimed the citizens.</p><p>He sat down and let go of the lead. The dog
went to her and put his nose on her knee. Dinny read the note.</p><p>"Come
¡ª come," said Henry, "I understand all that: I have been a galliard ¡ª a
reveller in my day, but it¡¯s best to be plain. As matters are with me
now, I am an altered man for these many, many months; and so, my quean, you
and I must part sooner than perhaps a light o¡¯ love such as you
expected to part with ¡ª a likely young fellow."</p><p>"Yes."</p><p>"Almost
exact."</p><p>¡®Well, but the Reform¡¯s niver come anigh
Sprox¡¯on,¡¯ said a grey-haired but stalwart man called Old
Sleck. ¡®I don¡¯t believe nothing about¡¯n, I don¡¯
t.¡¯</p><p>"It does seem to affect everybody."</p><p>"I¡¯m not
serious, darling."</p><p>¡®Perhaps you do not quite understand me,
Ludovic.¡¯</p><p>¡®Well, to preach to me, or to talk to me, or to
give me a lesson; to say something that shall drive me to put my back up
against Lord Lufton?¡¯</p><p>Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
</p><p>There was plenty of it in the court of Fort Reliance; and whilst the
Sergeant went to fetch the snow, Joliffe removed all the astronomer¡¯s
clothes. The body of the unfortunate man was covered with white
frost-bitten patches. It was urgently necessary to restore the circulation
of the blood in the affected portions. This result Jaspar Hobson hoped to
obtain by vigorous friction with the snow. We know that this is the means
generally employed in the polar countries to set going afresh the
circulation of the blood arrested by the intense cold, even as the rivers
are arrested in their courses by the icy touch of winter. Sergeant Loin
soon returned, and he and Joliffe gave the new arrival such a rubbing as he
had probably never before received. It was no soft and agreeable friction,
but a vigorous shampooing most lustily performed, more like the scratching
of a curry-comb than the caresses of a human hand.</p><p>After his journey
of discovery, Hobson estimated exactly the area of his new dominions. The
island measured more than forty miles round, from which its superficial
area[r] would appear to be about one hundred and forty miles at the least.
By way of comparison, we may say that Victoria Island was rather larger
than St Helena, and its area was about the same as that of Paris within the
line of fortifications. If then it should break up into fragments, the
separate parts might still be of sufficient size to be habitable for some
time.</p><p>¡®How long have you lived with him?¡¯</p><p>"I
don¡¯t know, I¡¯ve never seen him. He¡¯s been a lot about in
the East."</p><p>A friar was seated in the same car with the murderer, to
whom he did not hesitate to repeat, under the seal of confession, the same
false asseveration which he had made upon the place of combat, which
charged the Duke of Rothsay with being director of the ambuscade by which
the unfortunate bonnet maker had suffered. The same falsehood he
disseminated among the crowd, averring, with unblushing effrontery, to
those who were nighest to the car, that he owed his death to his having
been willing to execute the Duke of Rothsay¡¯s pleasure. For a time he
repeated these words, sullenly and doggedly, in the manner of one reciting
a task, or a liar who endeavours by reiteration to obtain a credit for his
words which he is internally sensible they do not deserve. But when he
lifted up his eyes, and beheld in the distance the black outline of a
gallows, at least forty feet high, with its ladder and its fatal cord,
rising against the horizon, he became suddenly silent, and the friar could
observe that he trembled very much.</p><p>Harold rose from his chair again,
and again paced the room. He was not prepared with any defiance.</p><p>"I
won¡¯t bet a farthing! Follow the boy ¡ª and tell young Sally I have
sent her a better doctor than I am."</p><p>"I had my suspicions," she said;
"and I find they have not misled me. Twice already, I have warned you to
let my niece alone. For the third, and last time, I tell you that she is as
cold as ice. She will trifle with you as long as it flatters her vanity;
and she will throw you over, as she has thrown other men over. Have your
fling, you foolish fellow, before you marry anybody. Pay no more visits to
this house, unless they are visits to me. I shall expect to hear from you."
She paused, and pointed to a statue which was one of the ornaments in the
hall. "Look at that bronze woman with the clock in her hand. That¡¯s
Regina. Be off with you ¡ª goodbye!"</p><p>¡®You¡¯ve not got grey
as I have, Mr Lenoni; you¡¯re not a day older for the sixteen years.
But no wonder you didn¡¯t know me; I¡¯m bleached like a dried
bone.¡¯</p><p>¡®Dear Mrs Grantly,¡¯ she said, ¡®I have
foreseen for the last few days that our mutual hopes in this respect would
not be gratified. Lord Lufton, I think;¡ª but perhaps it is not necessary to
explain ¡ª Had you not come up to town, I should have written to you,¡ª
probably today. Whatever may be dear Griselda¡¯s fate in life, I
sincerely hope that she may be happy.¡¯</p><p>Frank laughed at the
strange question.</p><p>¡®Are you going to take the children back with
you?¡¯ said the dean.</p><p>And then it was understood ¡ª Mark Robarts,
at least, had so heard, and the information soon reached Framley Court ¡ª
that Mr Supplehouse was to make one of the Chaldicotes party. Now Mr
Supplehouse was a worse companion for a gentleman, young, High Church,
conservative county parson than even Harold Smith. He also was in
Parliament, and had been extolled during the early days of the Russian War
by some portion of the metropolitan daily press, as the only man who could
save the country. Let him be in the ministry, the Jupiter had said, and
there would be some hope of reform, some chance that England¡¯s
ancient glory would not be allowed in these perilous times to go headlong
into oblivion. And upon this the ministry, not anticipating much salvation
from Mr Supplehouse, but willing as they usually are, to have the Jupiter
at their back, did send for that gentleman, and gave him some footing among
them. But how can a man to save a nation, and to lead a people, be content
to fill the chair of an under-secretary? Supplehouse was not content, and
soon gave it to be understood that his place was much higher than any yet
tendered to him. The seals of high office, or war to the knife, was the
alternative which he offered to a much-belaboured Head of Affairs ¡ª nothing
doubting that the Head of Affairs would recognize the claimant¡¯s
value, and would have before his eyes a wholesome fear of the Jupiter. But
the Head of Affairs, much belaboured as he was, knew that he might swing
his tomahawk. Since that time he had been swinging his tomahawk, but not
with so much effect as had been anticipated. He also was very intimate with
Mr Sowerby, and was decidedly one of the Chaldecotes set. And there were
many others included in the stigma whose sins were political or religious
than moral. But they were gall and wormwood to Lady Lufton, who regarded
them as children of the Lost One, and grieved with a mother¡¯s grief
when she knew that her son was among them, and felt all a patron¡¯s
anger when she heard that her clerical protege was about to seek such
society. Mrs Robarts might well say that Lady Lufton would be
annoyed.</p><p>"But weren¡¯t they all the same stock, really?
"</p><p>"Well, now, that¡¯s pretty bad," said Butler, calmly and
meditatively. He was thinking of his own affairs. A panic was not good for
him either, but he was not in a desperate state. He could not fail. He
might lose some money, but not a vast amount ¡ª before he could adjust
things. Still he did not care to lose any money.</p><p>Obliging Rufus
finished the sentence for him. "Never before had she known a young man with
such natural gifts of fascination as C.A.G. Don¡¯t you be too modest,
sir; it doesn¡¯t pay, I assure you, in the nineteenth
century."</p><p>¡®Sir, I can tell you what to say fast enough; for
it¡¯s what I should say myself if I could get to speak to the king.
For I¡¯ve asked them that know, and they say it¡¯s the truth both
out of the Bible and in, as the king can pardon anything and anybody. And
judging by his countenance on the new signs, and the talk there was a while
ago about his being the people¡¯s friend, as the minister once said it
from the very pulpit ¡ª if there¡¯s any meaning in words, he¡¯ll
do the right thing by me and my son, if he¡¯s asked proper.¡¯
</p><p>Thus on and on he went, answering all of Steger¡¯s and
Shannon¡¯s searching questions with the most engaging frankness, and
you could have sworn from the solemnity with which he took it all ¡ª the
serious business attention ¡ª that he was the soul of so-called commercial
honor. And to say truly, he did believe in the justice as well as the
necessity and the importance of all that he had done and now described. He
wanted the jury to see it as he saw it ¡ª put itself in his place and
sympathize with him.</p><p>Rufus began to feel uneasy. He was prepared for
tears ¡ª but not for such resignation as this. After a little hesitation, he
joined her at the window. She never turned towards him; she still looked
out straight before her; her bright young face had turned pitiably rigid
and pale. He spoke to her very gently; advising her to think of what he had
said, and to do nothing in a hurry. She knew the hotel at which he stayed
when he was in London; and she could write to him there. If she decided to
begin a new life in another country, he was wholly and truly at her
service. He would provide a passage for her in the same ship that took him
back to America. At his age, and known as he was in his own neighbourhood,
there would be no scandal to fear. He could get her reputably and
profitably employed, in work which a young girl might undertake. "I¡¯
ll be as good as a father to you, my poor child," he said, "don¡¯t
think you¡¯re going to be friendless, if you leave Amelius. I¡¯ll
see to that! You shall have honest people about you ¡ª and innocent pleasure
in your new life."</p><p>¡®It will be quite new if he is,¡¯
replied Mrs Smith.</p><p>Yet let me confess that I am greatly attracted by
such fine phrases as the Will of God, the Hand of God, the Great Commander.
These do most wonderfully express aspects of this belief I choose to hold.
I think if there had been no gods before, I would call this God. But I feel
that there is a great danger in doing this sort of thing unguardedly. Many
people would be glad for rather trivial and unworthy reasons that I should
confess a faith in God, and few would take offence. But the run of people
even nowadays mean something more and something different when they say
"God." They intend a personality exterior to them and limited, and they
will instantly conclude I mean the same thing. To permit that misconception
is, I feel, the first step on the slippery slope of meretricious
complaisance, is to become in some small measure a successor of those who
cried, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." Occasionally we may best serve
the God of Truth by denying him.</p></font></p>
