The place began to seem like home; the idea of pursuing my travels to the Celestial City was almost obliterated from my mind. I was reminded of it, however, by the sight of the same pair of simple pilgrims at whom we had laughed so heartily when Apollyon puffed smoke and steam into their faces at the commencement of our journey.
Their king is "Abaddon or Apollyon," the destroyer: for so is his name by interpretation, both in Hebrew and Greek. He is from the "bottomless pit," from hell, the vicegerent of the devil. Mahomet in person, and in the person of his official successors, will alone answer to this duplicate symbol.
Then He has given thee a cabinet to hold His grace in. "No armour for his back"; to desist is inevitable ruin. He sees no safety except in facing his enemy. The description of Apollyon is terrible. In our days, when emigration is so encouraged by the state, it may be difficult for some youthful readers to understand this argument of Apollyon's.
And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Leaning against the pillow, the lonely woman bent over to scrutinize the distorted, burning face, and softly took into her cool palms one hot and swollen hand, which in other days she had admiringly stroked, and tenderly pressed against her cheek and lips. How totally unlike that countenance, which, handsome as Apollyon, had looked down at her on her bridal day, and fondly whispered "my wife."
And we named the Blue Ridge the Delectable Mountains War puts a stop to reading." "Yes. The Hill Difficulty! On the other side was the Valley of Humiliation, was it not?" "Yes: where Christian met Apollyon. We are nearly up, and the sunset will be beautiful." At the top, around a solitary tree, had been built a bench. The two sat down. The sun was sinking behind the Blue Ridge.
Then Apollyon broke out into a grievous rage, saying, I am an enemy to this Prince; I hate his Person, his Laws, and People; I am come out on purpose to withstand thee. Chr. Apollyon, beware what you do, for I am in the King's High-way, the way of Holiness, therefore take heed to yourself. Apol.
Then Apollyon espying his opportunity, began to gather up close to Christian, and wrestling with him, gave him a dreadful fall; and with that Christian's Sword flew out of his hand. Then said Apollyon, I am sure of thee now: and with that he had almost prest him to death, so that Christian began to despair of life.
While he was deriving spiritual entertainment from the great battle between Christian and Apollyon and consolation from the latter's discomfiture, Septimus was walking down the road to the post-office, a letter in his hand. The envelope was addressed to "Mrs. Middlemist, White Star Co.'s S.S. Cedric, Marseilles." It contained a blank sheet of headed note-paper and the tail of a little china dog.
He returned my gaze and remarked: "Uh-ah, uh-ah, Oui." "That's all," the Directeur said. "You will call for your money at the bureau of the Gestionnaire before leaving." "Go and get ready," the Fencer said, and I certainly saw a smile.... "I? Am? Going? To? Paris?" somebody who certainly wasn't myself remarked in a kind of whisper. "Parfaitement." Pettish. Apollyon. But how changed.
