I saw Plummer pass across the end of the street in company with a shuffling, out-at-elbows-looking man with dirty brown whiskers, and I set myself to watch the door of the staircase by the packing-case maker's with redoubled attention, hoping fervently that Mayes might emerge, and so give me the opportunity of capping the extraordinary series of occurrences connected with the Red Triangle by myself seizing and handing him over to the police.
"God only and good angels look Behind the blissful scene," and that other, "He could not trust his melting soul But in his Maker's sight," that I hope some of them will see this, and read the poem, and profit by it. My laughing and winking young friend undertook to procure and arrange the flowers for the table, and did it with immense zeal.
Once wrench your heart from man, and fix it on your Maker, the advancement of that Maker's spiritual kingdom on earth will be your chief delight and endeavour; you will be ready to do at once whatever furthers that end.
Claude had to cross two evil-smelling courtyards to reach a third, across which ran a sort of big closed shed, a huge out-house of board and plaster work, which had once served as a packing-case maker's workshop. From outside, through the four large windows, whose panes were daubed with a coating of white lead, nothing could be seen but the bare whitewashed ceiling.
It was fortunate, I thought, that the "bonnet" was strapped down and locked, for the engines were stamped with their maker's name. "You travel about a lot on her, I suppose," he went on. "It's a fine car, certainly. Did you come across the Continent?" "Yes. I've been about Europe a good deal," I answered. "Saves railway fares, you know." And I laughed.
Had man retained his maker's image, it is not probable that young minds would have received habits of virtue, and been imbued with knowledge, without parental aid that instinct would have supplied the place of instruction, and superseded the use of it. Had man remained upright his whole work have been diverse from that which now employs him.
The three wreaths were still on the shelf in the dark closet under the stair. Their colors were dimmed, like the hope in their maker's heart; their forms were shrunken, like the forms of Claire René and grand'mère and Jacques. Grand'mère lay in her bed most of the day.
Two doors, one on each side, led into wee little state- rooms, the berths of which also were littered. Among other things, was a large box, sheathed with iron and stoutly clamped, containing a keg partly filled with powder, the half of an old cutlass, a pouch of bullets, and a case for a sextant a brass plate on the lid, with the maker's name. London.
But Mary, irradiating smiles, the emanating light of her soul then at her Maker's feet, gently breathed her ardent felicitations at what she had just heard, which had indeed established her kindred with the venerated friend whose kindness had met her so unreservedly as a stranger.
And herein, incidentally, it is that Art acquires also that quality of mystery, more needful to it even than finality, for the mystery that wraps a work of Art is the mystery of its maker, and the mystery of its maker is the difference between that maker's soul and every other soul.
