The whole scene and proceedings darted upon Alwyn's recollection in a moment. It was a fine breezy morning on that long-past voyage out, and he had been told that they were running at the rate of a hundred and odd miles a day. The news went round that one of the poor young women in the other part of the vessel was ill of fever, and delirious.
She was not surprised to learn that the Senate had rejected Alwyn's nomination; that Samuel Stillings had been nominated and confirmed as Register of the Treasury, and that Mr. Tom Teerswell was to be his assistant. Also the bill reorganizing the school board had passed. She wrote two notes and posted them as she went out to walk.
Alwyn's glance swept over him with a faint, cold scorn "And what religion do the scientific and cultured classes propose to invent as a substitute?" Andrew Lang for the newest "logical" explanation of the Religious Instinct in Man: namely, that the very idea of God first arose from the terror and amazement of an ape at the sound of the thunder!
O fairest glory! a face, shining forth like a star in a cloud! a face dazzlingly beautiful and sweet, a golden head, above which the pale halo of a light ethereal hovered lovingly in a radiant ring! "EDRIS!" The chaste name breathed itself silently in Alwyn's thoughts, silently and yet with all the passion of a lover's prayer!
The Duchess de la Santoisie moved uneasily, there was a vibration in Alwyn's voice that went to her very heart. Strange thoughts swept cloud-like across her mind, again she saw in fancy a little fair, dead child that she had loved, her only one, on whom she had spent all the tenderness of which her nature was capable.
He had come to a fairly logical explanation of the whole matter, namely, that as the City of Al-Kyris had been proved a dream, so surely the visit of the Angel-maiden Edris must have been a dream likewise, that the trance at the Monastery of Dariel, followed by the constant reading of the passages from Esdras, and the treatise of Algazzali, had produced a vivid impression on Alwyn's susceptible brain, which had resolved itself into the visionary result narrated.
Then, through pure channels and by slow degrees we were to proclaim to the world His last message." Alwyn's eyes rested on the speaker in reverent yet anxious inquiry. "Surely" he said "you will begin to proclaim it now?"
The horn was at once sounded, and Sir John Wyncliffe and the other knights hastily assembled in the courtyard. Here, after a short consultation, it was determined that a mounted party should be, at once, despatched to endeavour to harass the advance of the Welsh; the troop consisting of Alwyn's men-at-arms, twenty men of the garrison, and fifty mounted men who formed part of the new levy.
"Nay, master," returned Alwyn, "I have met with my betters, and, after all," he added indifferently, "the silver arrow, though a pretty bauble enough, is over light in its weight." "Worshipful sir," said the young Nevile, with equal generosity, "I cannot accept the prize for a mere trick of the craft, the blanc was already disposed of by Master Alwyn's arrow.
Black men and white women cannot talk together casually in the South and she did not know how far the North had put notions in Alwyn's head. Today both met each other almost eagerly. Mrs. Cresswell had just had a bit of news which only he would fully appreciate. "Have you heard of the Vanderpools?" she asked. "No except that he was appointed and confirmed at last."
