It would never do to abandon the family grievance merely because it presented a bright side. They felt, as older folks have been known to feel, that a sense of injury carries with it a sense of importance. "I wonder," said Linnet, severely, "that you can have the heart to talk about it, Jan." "Jan has no feelings about leaving Saaron," said Annet, more in sorrow than in anger.
Miss Hackett wanted to depart before the Bleeding Bride came on, but Dolores entreated her to stay, and she heroically endured a little longer. This seemed, consciously or not, to be a parody of the ballad of Lord Thomas and Fair Annet, but of course it began with an abduction on horseback and a wild chase, in which even the elephant did his part, and plenty more firing.
The forsaken Annet consoled herself with careering about, taking a last leave of her beloved steed -a mangy-looking pony- and performing various freaks with it, then singing a truculent song of revenge, in pursuance of which she hid herself to await the bridal procession. And as the bride came on, among her attendants Dolores detected unmistakably those eyes of Gerald's!
The most notable of the answers to Woolston was Thomas Sherlock's 'Tryal of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus. This again called forth an anonymous pamphlet entitled 'The Resurrection of Jesus considered, by a 'moral philosopher, who afterwards proved to be one Peter Annet. In no strict sense of the term can Annet be called a Deist, though he is often ranked in that class.
"Because, if he'd showed his face back in Cornwall, they'd have hanged him; that's all." "Oh!" exclaimed the three, almost simultaneously, and sat for a moment or two gazing on Jan in awed silence. "But why should they want to hang your father?" asked Annet. Jan sliced his bread with an air of noble indifference. "Eh? Why, indeed? He used to say 'twas for being too frolicsome.
The year after the publication of Woolston's discourses, and some years before Annet wrote, by far the most important work which ever appeared on the part of the Deists was published. Hitherto Deism had mainly been treated on its negative or destructive side.
"What nonsense is this?" growled their father. "Annet, my child, we tell the truth all of us here on Saaron." "It may have been a seal," hazarded the Commandant. "I am told that Piper's Hole used to be a famous spot for seals." But Annet lifted her chin and answered, her eyes steadily raised to her father's face. "No, it was not a seal; it was a mermaid.
"We will sail them home and land them on Saaron." The Commandant backed his boat skilfully into the passage between the walls of rock, lifted the two younger ones on board, and then stretched out a hand to the other shore to help Vashti and Annet. When all were stowed, he pushed out for an offing, and hoisted his small lug-sail, while Vashti took the tiller. The breeze blew off the shore.
Sherlock, whose Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus was long considered a cogent answer to the attacks of Woolston, was opposed by Peter Annet, who, without leaving the refuge of figurative interpretation open, proceeded still more regardlessly in the discovery of contradictory and incredible elements in the Gospel reports, and declared all the scriptural writers together to be liars and falsifiers.
She took Matthew Henry's small, unresisting hand, and the four pelted down the slope. Something in Vashti's eyes it could not have been in the words of her last answer, for they were mysterious enough had apparently reassured Annet, who cast away care and called back in triumph as she won the race down to the golden sands.
