In Switzerland and Italy, when his wife's gentle inexorable silence became too oppressive to him, Robert would pour himself out in letters to Armitstead, and the correspondence did not altogether cease with his return to London. To the Squire during the same period Elsmere also wrote frequently, but rarely or never on religious matters.
"Possible!" said Armitstead. "Doesn't it strike you as strange, though," suggested Viner, "that the first news of this diamond comes from Van Hoeren? One would have thought that Ashton would have mentioned it and shown it to Miss Wickham and Mrs. Killenhall. Yet apparently he never did." "Yes, that does seem odd," asserted Mr. Pawle. "But there seems to be no end of oddity in this case.
On one occasion Armitstead had been pressing the favorite Christian dilemma Christianity or nothing. Inside Christianity, light and certainly; outside it, chaos.

Armitstead should come to Murewell on the Monday following the Sunday they were now approaching, spend a few days with them before their departure, and be left to his own devices in the house and parish, about the Thursday or Friday. An intense desire now seized Robert to get hold of the man at once, before the next Sunday.
