Grantly, in this difficulty, could think of no better remedy than a lecture from the archdeacon. Miss Thorne thought that a young lady, marriageable and with a dowry, might be of more efficacy.
We had a most exciting time with him yesterday. We all shied paper wads, and he moved nearly every one up and sent one girl out of the room." "He can't," I said, "have been as shy as he looked. But I'm beginning to understand why the Archdeacon was shocked." "He didn't mind that," said the Canon; "at least not much."
The account-books of Dr Haynes, preserved along with his other papers, show, from a date but little later than that of his institution as archdeacon, a quarterly payment of L25 to J. L. Nothing could have been made of this, had it stood by itself. But I connect with it a very dirty and ill-written letter, which, like another that I have quoted, was in a pocket in the cover of a diary.
During the ensuing four or five years, we are told by the same authority that it was completely in the power of the archdeacon and clergy "to have formed a noble institution for the general education of the youth of Australia with the very crumbs that fell from their corporation-table."
The archdeacon was now ready to depart, and he and the precentor, after bowing low to the lady and shaking hands with my lord, made their escape from Mr. Slope as best they could. It was not till they were well out of the palace and on the gravel walk of the close that the archdeacon allowed the wrath inspired by Mr. Slope to find expression.
Very happy, I can assure you, to do anything for such a friend of my father-in-law." "I hope you'll excuse my calling, Dr Grantly." "Certainly, certainly," said the archdeacon; "I can assure you, no apology is necessary from Mr Bold; only let me know what I can do for him."
The prospect of a trial was indeed less welcome to the governor himself than to the archdeacon, for throughout the long conflict which followed, a public enquiry was the one thing which Henry Williams consistently claimed, and which the governor as consistently evaded. But the peace which followed the departure of the troops was occupied by the latter in forging weapons of a different character.
Brandon went into his study. Hogg was standing beside the window, a faded bowler in his hand. He turned when he heard the opening of the door; he presented to the Archdeacon a face of smiling and genial, if coarsened, amiability. He was wearing rough country clothes, brown knickerbockers and gaiters, and looked something like a stout and seedy gamekeeper fond of the bottle.
Archdeacon Farrar, quoting Huxley, said, "I would rather be Darwin and be right than be Premier of England we have had and will have many Premiers, but the world will never have another Darwin." Nothing seems to me better adapted than this monistic perspective to give us the proper standard and the broad outlook which we need in the solution of the vast enigmas that surround us.
