'You don't seem to have much respect for him; nor gained much good from having him in. Higgins's brow clouded. He was silent for a minute or two. Then he said, shortly enough: 'It's not for me to speak o' th' Union.
It appeared to me that I had now the means of accomplishing the extreme desire I had of being conformable to Jesus Christ, poor, naked, and stripped of all.
