He shall spare a poor man and needy, and He shall make safe the souls of poor men... Blessed be the name of His majesty withouten end! and all earth shall be filled with His majesty. Amphillis almost held her breath as she listened, for the first time in her life, to the grand roll of those sonorous verses. "That were a King!" she said. "That shall be a King," answered Perrote, softly.
"Amphillis, I do believe you were born a hundred years old! or else in some other world, where their notions are quite diverse from this," said Agatha, taking a candied orange from the sewer. "I never heard such things as you say." "But lovers who only want your money seem to me very unsatisfying folks," replied Amphillis.
"A sober maid and a seemly, in good sooth," said Mr Tynneslowe, when the door was shut. "Hath she her health reasonable good? She looks but white." "Ay, good enough," said the patty-maker, who knew that Amphillis was sufficiently teased and worried by those lively young ladies, her cousins, to make any girl look pale. "Good. Well, what wages should content you?"
She hardly dared to breathe when the banner at last showed its blazon as pure ermine; and it scarcely needed the cry of "Notre Dame de Gwengamp!" to make Amphillis rush to the opposite room, beckon Perrote out of it, and say to her in breathless ecstasy "The Duke! O Mistress Perrote, the Lord Duke!" "Is it so?" said Perrote, only a little less agitated than Amphillis.
And her time is very near." There were tears in Perrote's eyes as she went away, and Amphillis entirely sympathised with her. She was coming to realise the paramount importance to every human soul of that personal acquaintance with Jesus Christ, which is the one matter of consequence to all who have felt the power of an endless life.
Pray for the living, in whose breast The struggle between right and wrong Is raging terrible and strong." Longfellow. Amphillis Neville was a most unsuspicious person.
And Amphillis was one of those shy, intense souls for whom the thought of new faces and fresh scenes has in it more fear than hope.
By dint of working early and late, Amphillis was just ready on the day appointed small thanks to her cousins, who not only shirked her work, but were continually summoning her from it to do theirs.
Mistress Alexandra was quite gracious now. "Thursday shall be a fortnight, being Saint Maudlin's Day, at ten o' the clock in the forenoon. Will hath passed word to me to get me in, and two other with me. You'll come, my mistresses? There'll not be room for Mistress Amphillis; I'm sorry." Alexandra tossed her head very contemptuously. "What does Amphillis want of jousts?" said she.
Howbeit, none never seeth her save Mistress Perrote and Mistress Amphillis, and my Lady and Sir Godfrey, of course, when they have need. I've ne'er beheld her myself, only standing behind the casement, as she oft loveth to do. My Lady hath a key to her chamber door, and Mistress Perrote the like; and none save these never entereth."
