We think of the intellect of the system-builder as cold. But there is never any coldness about St. Paul's mind. On the contrary, it is always full of life and all on fire. He can, indeed, reason closely and continuously; but, every now and then, his thought bursts up through the argument like a flaming geyser and falls in showers of sparks.
There are in England, besides the two universities, but few great schools or colleges. In London, there are only St. Paul's and Westminster schools; the rest are almost all private institutions, in which there reigns a kind of family education, which is certainly the most natural, if properly conducted.
Spent part of the evening in reading part of Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Third day. I was busied most of this day in my common vocations. Spent the evening principally in reading Paul.
It is in this utter purity, this transparent simplicity, that Villette is great. There is not one jarring note in any of the delicious dialogues between Lucy and M. Paul, not one of those passages which must be erased if quotation is not to fail of its effect. Take the scene where Lucy breaks M. Paul's spectacles.

"Do you mean to leave to-morrow?" "Yes," answered Paul quietly. "I must eat something. I am exhausted." He staggered against Dr. Cutter's strong arm, and caught himself by it.
The perfect pupil 'lost not a drop from his teacher's cistern. At the age of about fourteen the boy would be sent to Jerusalem, to study under one of the great Rabbis; in St. Paul's case it was Gamaliel. Under his tuition the young Pharisee would learn to be a 'strong Churchman. The Rabbis viewed everything from an ecclesiastical standpoint.
The word here rendered 'exhort' is found in Paul's writings as bearing special meanings, such as consoling, stimulating, encouraging, rebuking and others.
It must have been an accident." "I wonder!" Sir Alfred muttered. "Can't you decode it?" Granet asked eagerly. "There may be news." Sir Alfred re-entered the larger library and was absent for several minutes. When he returned, the message was written out in lead pencil: Leave London June 4th. Have flares midnight Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's steps, gardens in front of Savoy.
The current had thrown the two on the bank and pursued its own race round the promontory, bereft of its playthings. Drenched, huddled, hatless, they lay there. "A very near thing indeed," said the Captain, panting hard and regarding Paul's motionless body with a grave and critical air of inquiry. The next moment he fell on his knees by his companion.
