Your diffidence in respect of entering the church I can fully sympathise with, having felt the same scruples myself, and being conscious even now, after many years, of falling short of the high ideal I had originally, and have still, of one who would follow the Master; but, in your wholesale condemnation of the law and lawyers, judging on the ex uno disce omnes principle and hastily, you should remember that all solicitors need not necessarily be rogues because one of their number has a somewhat evil reputation.
It is no longer the spirit of the State, where the individual although in a limited manner, under a particular form and in a special sphere behaves as a generic being, in conjunction with other individuals; it has become the spirit of bourgeois society, of the sphere of egoism, of the bellum omnium contra omnes. It is no longer the essence of the community, but the essence of social distinctions.

You could not tell Maecenas that you would meet him again; you could only promise to tread the dark path with him.
Therefore let us ever think and believe that the grace of God, his mercy and goodness, exceedeth our sins. Also consider what Christ saith with his own mouth: Venite ad me, omnes qui laboratis, &c. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are laden, and I will ease you."
In order, then, that he should have been aedile under Titus, even admitting that he could boast, like Cicero, of having obtained all his honours in the prescribed years "omnes honores anno suo" and been aedile the moment he was qualified by age for the office, he must have been born, at least, as far back as the year 44.
Micat inter omnes, as Virgil sang of "the young Marcellus," his hero: she "glistened out before them all." Of course she was introduced to me. "Mr Lorton Miss Minnie Clyde." Now, at last, I had met her and knew her name! What a pretty name she had, too, as little Miss Pimpernell had said! Just in keeping with its owner.
