"Well," said he, "what I was going to say was that we heard you were in town; 'Friends of Samuel Atterbury, my dear, I said to my wife. We are neighbors, Mr. Brace. You must know the girls. You must come to supper. We live very plainly, sir, very simply. I am afraid that you will miss the luxury of the East, and some of the refinement, Stephen. I hope I may call you so, my boy.
John's being involved in an ecclesiastical trial, the unpleasant notoriety into which it would bring a church hitherto untouched by that sort of thing. And I ought to tell you that I, among others, am about to send an Information to the bishop." Gordon Atterbury hesitated a moment, but getting no reply save an inclination of the head, took up his hat. "Ahem I think that is all I have to say, Mr.
From what I gather, matters are in the air just now." The earl made a gesture, brusque and impatient. "Your information is very scant, then," said he. Mr. Caryll looked askance at him. "Pho, sir! While you have been abed, I have been up and doing; up and doing. Matters are being pushed forward rapidly. I have seen Atterbury. He knows my mind.
Her glance at Gordon Atterbury in the midst of that gentleman's felicitations on the sermon had been expressive, Hodder thought, of veiled amusement slightly tinctured with contempt; and he, Hodder, felt himself to have grown warm over it. He could not be sure that Alison Parr had not included, in her inner comment, the sermon likewise, on which he had so spent himself.
If Christianity were to sweep on, these few unbending but faithful ones must be sacrificed: such was the law. . . Many, while repudiating his new beliefs or unbeliefs! added, to their regrets of the change in him, protestations of a continued friendship, a conviction of his sincerity. Others like Mrs. Atterbury, were frankly outraged and bitter.
Like all High Churchmen, Atterbury has a clear sense that Church and State can no longer be equated, and he is anxious to preserve the personality of the Church from the invasions of an alien body. To be real, it must be independent, and to be independent, it must have organs of self-expression.
Agony was perfectly well aware of the fact that her father would never tell anything at home that was not also given out to the newspapers, but she liked to hear him tell that little in his own way. "It's the Arnold Atterbury case, you've read about it in the newspapers the man who has been organizing strikes in the big munition plants," replied Mr. Wing.
I have reason enough to be thankful now that she didn't care for him. They've made him president, you know, of this idiotic Municipal League, as they call it. But in those days he hadn't developed any nonsense, he was making a good start at the bar, and was well off. His father was Elias Hubbell, who gave the Botanical Garden to the city. I wanted her to marry Gordon Atterbury.
Why was it that, to Hodder, he should gradually have assumed something of the aspect of a Cerberus? Why was it that he incited a perverse desire to utter heresies? Hodder invariably turned from his contemplation of Gordon Atterbury to the double blaring pew, which went from aisle to aisle. In his heart, he would have preferred the approval of Eleanor Goodrich and her husband, and of Asa Waring.
Not such as Europe breeds in her decay, Such as she bred when fresh and young, When heavenly flame did animate her clay, By future ages shall be sung. Westward the course of empire takes its way, The four first acts already past, A fifth shall close the drama with the day, Time's noblest offspring is the last. Against the banishment of Francis Atterbury, Bishop of Rochester. April 6, 1723.
