He scrambles out of the slough 'on the side which was nearest to his own house' and goes home. Christian struggling manfully is lifted out 'by a man whose name was Help, and goes on upon his journey, but the burden on his back weighs him down. He falls in with Mr. Worldly Wiseman who lives in the town of Carnal Policy. Mr.
"But the thought of these two men sticks in my throat; that captain and mate dying here, one opposite to the other. It's grim. I wonder what they said last?" "Wiseman and Wishart?" said the captain. "Probably mighty small potatoes. That's a thing a fellow figures out for himself one way, and the real business goes quite another.
We feel that it is a disgrace to a man like Tennyson, when he talks of the French revolutions, the huge crusades that had recreated the whole of his civilisation, as being "no graver than a schoolboy's barring out." We feel that it is a disgrace to a man like Browning to make spluttering and spiteful puns about the names Newman, Wiseman, and Manning.
The door was locked, but the key had been left in the lock, and this Constable Wiseman turned, flooding the dark interior with light. "Come out!" he said, and Jasper Cole staggered out, dazed and shaking. "Somebody hit me on the head with a sandbag," he said thickly. "I heard the shot. What has happened?" "Mr. Minute has been killed," said the policeman. "Killed!"
"Well, whatever next!" the children doing no more than ask in a whisper for more food. This they did at regular and frequent intervals, but because of their whispers they were supposed to be unheard. Constable Wiseman spoke about himself because he knew of nothing more interesting to talk about. His evening conversation usually took the form of a very full résumé of his previous day's experience.
If a child disliked it, the cause could only be his own wickedness. Young Badman 'was greatly given also to swearing and cursing. 'He made no more of it' than Mr. Wiseman made 'of telling his fingers. 'He counted it a glory to swear and curse, and it was as natural to him as to eat, drink, or sleep. Bunyan, in this description, is supposed to have taken the picture from himself.
"Very little except what you can pick up from the natives, which is little enough," replied Professor Wiseman, "they seem to have a dislike to speaking of the Flying Men to whites at any rate. I think, too, they fear them. Report has it that they live in cave-like holes in the side of a giant, black basalt cliff reached by a subterranean river.
But do you not, Governor Wiseman, believe in out-door sports and recreations? Yes, said the governor, but it ought to be something that helps a man as well as the brute. I prefer those recreations that are good both for a man's body and soul. We want our entire nature developed.
Now Mr Paul's name stank in the nostrils of Mrs Stumfold. He was to her the thing accursed. Had Miss Mackenzie quoted the Pope, or Cardinal Wiseman or even Dr Newman, it would not have been so bad. Mrs Stumfold had once met Mr Paul, and called him to his face the most abject of all the slaves of the scarlet woman.
'Fear was in his face, and in his tossings to and fro he would often say I am undone, I am undone, my vile life hath undone me. Atheism did not help him. It never helped anyone in such extremities Mr. Wiseman said; as he had known in another instance:
