If Uncle Ben's progress was slower, it was no less satisfactory.
A species of auto-juggernaut, with Marrineal at the wheel." "What rubbish!" said Miss Van Arsdale with amused scorn. "Oh, because you've nothing to ask or fear from Baal. Yet even you would use it, for your musical preachment." As he spoke, he became aware of Edmonds staring moodily and with pinched lips at Miss Van Arsdale.
"Yes," said Parsons, half-sulkily, "to allow all Balaams who will to sacrifice to Baal, while they call themselves by the name of the Lord."
