It was not till long afterward that he discovered the alliance between Whisky Jim and Isabel, and how Jim had gotten a friend on the Stillwater route to help him get them through. But Charlton wrote Isa, and told her how he had detected her, and thanked her cordially, asking her why she concealed her hand. She replied kindly, but with little allusion to the gifts, and they came no more.
It was a very uncomfortable revelation, considering that Isa might have given her cousin my sovereign, but no doubt she did not think that proper, as I had meant it to be spent for this outing. I will at least give her the benefit of the doubt, and I would not encourage Jane to say any more about her.
He hath eye-salve, clothing, gold tried in the fire, &c. "For the Spirit of the Lord is upon him, and hath anointed him," Isa. lxi. 1. He is suitably qualified, not only having a fulness, and an all-fulness, so that whatever we need is to be had in him, but also a suitable fulness answering our case to the life. Are we out of the way? He is the way. Are we dead? He is life, &c.
And this was our condition after the breach of the first covenant. That God should make this covenant with man, and not with devils. This sets out the mercy of the covenant, because it contains such rare and glorious benefits, and therefore it is called a covenant of life and peace. "An everlasting covenant even the sure mercies of David." It is compared to the waters of Noah, Isa. liv. 6.
How generous these Lords are; nay, my Lord, you must not refuse a Father's Love, if I may presume to call you Son I shall find enough besides for my Ransom, if the Tyrant be so unmerciful to ask more than my Wife pays him. Guil. Nay, if you will force it upon me. Isa. Ay, take it, the trifling sum will serve to buy our Honour Pins. Ant.
"Does does he look like " the words came pantingly "like the picture in the other room?" Isa was sitting opposite the door leading into the living room, and her eyes fell, as Joyce spoke, upon the Madonna and Child. Then, in spite of her anxiety and weariness, Isa laughed. The entire train of events since her arrival the day before had appealed to her latent sense of humour.
We read the words of Isa. vi. 10: "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert and be healed. And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate."
"And therefore I am to do as much for you. And then next year Agnes will come to me; and so before I die I shall see you all in want, with large families. No, Isa; I will not scorn you, but this thing I cannot do." "But I have not told you all yet. You say that I want a husband." "Well, well; I did not mean to say it harshly." "I do want to be married."
Jane was just beginning to tell me that Avice always wrote to her to lay before her father the difficulties about right and wrong faith and practice that their way of life and habits of society bring before the poor child, when Isa descended upon us with "Oh! Aunt Charlotte, I could not think what had become of you, when I saw the great man without you."
"You will will you not, Isa Miss Leicester?" he asked persuasively. Isabel was silent. "A nice example of obliging manners you are setting your pupils," said Emily, mischievously, at the same time hugging her affectionately. "What makes my pet so naughty to-day?" "I suppose I must," said Isabel, in a tone of annoyance; "I see that I shall have no peace if I don't."
