If, before my case is complete, it will be my painful duty to show that the murdered man was not the saint the world has agreed to paint him, I shall not shrink from unveiling the truer picture, in the interests of justice, which cannot say nil nisi bonum even of the dead.
William now deemed it safe to bring his wife to share his new greatness. The Duchess Matilda came over to England, and was hallowed to Queen at Westminster by Archbishop Ealdred. We may believe that no part of his success gave William truer pleasure. But the presence of the Lady was important in another way.
He was conscious of greater strength, undimmed energy, increased zest; faltering indeed he was still, not better, not more unselfish; but he had a sense of truer values, more proportion, more contentment.
What if this one little new fellow should beat them after all, and end their domination, and introduce in spite of them a truer and better and more natural state of things? it was not to be tolerated for a moment, and he must be put down with a strong hand at once.
"Alas, then am I a dead man," replied Volmar, and the unfortunate deacon never spoke truer words. Captain de Maulde also confessed his crime.
Perhaps in some dim way, like a child who delivers a message not fully understood, you are opening wider the straits of prejudice and preparing mankind for some truer and more spiritual grasp of truth; perhaps, as you stand forth for your own judgment, you are covering a thousand weak ones with your body; perhaps, by this declaration alone, you have avoided the guilt of false witness against humanity and the little ones unborn.
Alice, sit down and hear me, it is you who have to learn from me. In our young days I was accustomed to tell you stories in winter nights like these, stories of love like our own, of sorrows which, at that time, we only knew by hearsay. I have one now for your ear, truer and sadder than they were.
"Go and get it," she answered like a child at the Sunday school. "Then why shouldn't you do so now? You have such a portrait of Jesus, far truer and more complete than any other kind of portrait can be, the portrait his own deeds and words give us of him." "I see what you mean; but that is all about long ago, and I want him now. That is in a book, and I want him in my heart."
It is therefore the duty of all to whom this door has, at least in some measure, been opened, to endeavour to acquaint others with the fact that there is an inner side to things, and that life becomes truer and fuller in proportion as we penetrate to it and make our estimates of all things according to what becomes visible from this interior point of view.
"In a fortnight we shall be in Ottawa!" sighed Elizabeth, at last. Anderson smiled at her plaintive voice. "Darling! is it such a tragedy?" "No, I shall be as keen as anybody else when we get there. But we are so happy here!" "Is that really, really true?" asked Anderson, taking her hand and pressing it to his lips. "Yes" she murmured "yes but it will be truer still next year!"
