I had been intending to point out that it said nothing about a neighbor's automobile, nor a neighbor's oil wells, sugar trusts, insurance companies and savings banks. The last words, however, stop one off abruptly. One is almost tempted to imagine that the Divine Intelligence must have foreseen Dr. Abbott's ingenious method of interpretation, and taken this precaution against him.
Abbott's conception of the minister's work is briefly summed up in his own words: "Whenever a minister forgets the splendid message of pardon, peace and power based on faith in Jesus Christ as God manifest in the flesh, whenever for this message he substitutes literary lectures, critical essays, sociological disquisitions, theological controversies, or even ethical interpretations of the universal conscience, whenever, in other words, he ceases to be a Christian preacher and becomes a lyceum or seminary lecturer, he divests himself of that which in all ages of the world has been the power of the Christian ministry, and will be its power so long as men have sins to be forgiven, temptations to conquer, and sorrows to be assuaged."
But on an evening in February, when Alma was at the Langlands' and he had promised to call for her at ten o'clock, he left home an hour earlier and walked past Mrs. Abbott's house. A light in the window of her sitting-room showed that Mary was at home. After a turn or two backwards and forwards, he went up to the door and knocked.
As he did so, Governor Abbott's voice broke in suavely upon the other's. "I deprecate any resort to violence," he said. "You must proceed with discretion if you expect the state to maintain an attitude of neutrality. Otherwise, the police or the militia" "Oh, to hell with the police and the militia!" broke in McGrath impatiently. "What's the use"
Finally he commanded her to leave town, and she made a round of visits. She spent a fortnight at Rincona, Mrs. Abbott's place at Alta, in the San Mateo valley, and another with the Hathaways near by. Then, after a fortnight at the different "Springs" she settled down for the rest of the summer on the Ballinger ranch in the Santa Clara valley.
But it looks like she's game she'll try it we'd better stand a little farther back." A hand was laid upon Abbott's arm. "Abbott," said the voice of Robert Clinton, harsh from smothered excitement, "You went to Gregory's house did you see him?" Abbott did not hear. The refractory lion, knowing that his time had come to be ridden, was asserting his independence. He would not leap upon the table.
Abbott's cousin, which led to marriage and misery, came about quite independently of him. The last letter he opened without curiosity, but with quiet interest and pleasure. It was dated from Greystone; the writer, Basil Morton, had a place in his earliest memories, for, as neighbours' children, they had played together long before the grammar-school days which allied him with Hugh Carnaby.
Her best friend paused for a moment. "Come over and join our party, both of you," she said. "Dicky Pennell's here and Gracie Marsh just landed. They'd love to meet you." Letty shook her head slowly. There was a look in her face which even her best friend did not understand. "I'm afraid that we can't do that," she said. "I am Mr. Abbott's guest."
It can't be six o'clock." "It is," said Joan. "And Mr. Abbott's coming to supper." She fled in a panic. "Will the child never have done with chains?" Hannah demanded as the weeks slipped by. "When it wasn't Don, it was old Adam. And now it's someone else. And Mr. O'Neill's got more patience, Hughie, than I ever thought was in him." "I like him better t'other way," said Hughie. "Things is livelier.
The close of the 18th saw our outposts extended hard by the Chandni Chauk the main street of the city the bank, Major Abbott's and Khan Mohammed's houses having first been seized by our men, who suffered severely from the field-guns and musketry of the rebels.
