Lane had, to a large extent, arranged the forthcoming marriage with Charles Barthrop, I think. In the interests of the whole family Cynthia had been 'sensible'; she had been brought to see reason. 'And, mind you, said Lane, 'I do think Barthrop is an excellent chap, you know. Oh, yes; he's quite a cut above your average city man. And a kinder-hearted chap you never met. The pater swears by him.
Of course, we have to fight, but not by dealing injury and harm, but by seeking and following peace and goodwill. Well, we must try and it may be that we shall find him again, though he is hidden for a little while with God." "Yes," said Barthrop, "we shall find him, or he will find us it makes little difference: and he will always be the same, though I hope we may be different!"
If one was in a minor difficulty, too trivial to take to Father Payne, it was natural to consult Barthrop; and he sometimes, too, would say a word of warning to a man, if a storm seemed to be brewing.
"But aren't we, behind all that," said Barthrop, "an intensely sentimental nation?" "Yes," said Father Payne, "but that's a fault really we don't believe in real justice, only in picturesque justice. We are hopeless individualists. We melt into tears over a child that is lost, or a dog that howls; and we let all sorts of evil systems and arrangements grow and flourish.
Stung by his defeats, Richard sent one of his dependent Papworths to Poer Hall, with a challenge to Ralph Barthrop Morton; matching himself to swim across the Thames and back, once, trice, or thrice, within a less time than he, Ralph Barthrop Morton, would require for the undertaking.
Sometimes he will go and shut himself up in the church he is rather fond of going to church; he always goes to the Communion." "Does he expect us to go?" I said. "No," said Barthrop. "He rather likes us to go, but he doesn't at all like us going to please him.
To know a little perfectly isn't enough; of course, people ought to be able to write their own language accurately, and to do arithmetic. Outside of that, you want a lot of general ideas. It is no good teaching everything as if everyone was to end as a Professor." "That is a reasonable general scheme," said Barthrop, "but what about special aptitudes?"
You are going back this afternoon, I think?" "That depends!" said Barthrop. "Oh, Mr. Payne is expecting you to go back, I know we will just run up and see him now." We went up two flights of stairs: the matron knocked at a door in the passage, and we went in. Father Payne was sitting up in bed, in a sort of blue wrapper which gave him, I thought, a curiously monastic air he was reading quietly.
Who but an American would have heard of our little experiment here, and not only wanted to know they all do that but positively arranged to know? Yes, he was a hard-featured man a man of wealth, I imagine from some place, the grotesque and extravagant name of which I could not even accurately retain, in the State of Minnesota." "Did he want to try a similar experiment?" said Barthrop.
"You seem to be suffering a good deal over your paper to-day, Father!" said Barthrop once, regarding him with amusement. Father Payne lifted up his head, and then broke into a smile. "It's all right, my boy!" he said. "I don't despair of the world itself, but I feel that if the average newspaper represents the mind of the average man, the human race is very feeble not worth saving!
