And therefore we must not quarrel with the different attempts to reflect it or even be vexed if the fountain tells the sea that it is not reflecting the moon at all. Take my advice, my boy," he added, smiling, "and never argue about religion only try to make your own spirit as calm and true as you can!" I came in from a stroll one day with Father Payne and Barthrop.
I rose early, and made my last preparations, and then, having got a little time before the last meal I was to take with Barthrop, I went round about the garden with a desire to draw into my spirit for the last time the pure and happy atmosphere of the place. I saw the beds fringed with purple polyanthus, and the daffodils in the dewy grass.
A man with a bad headache, however gallant, is not likely to talk as well as a man in perfect health and high spirits; but if we are not considering the performance, but the virtues of the performer, we might admire the man who pumped up talk when he was feeling wretched more than the man from whom it flowed." "The judicious Barthrop!" said Father Payne.
On the following morning, Barthrop came into my room in silence, shortly after breakfast, and handed me a letter without a word.
Finally, I decided that I would have a headache when the time came, and get Lane to make my excuses 'Not that the hostess, or any one else there, would know or care anything about my absence or presence, I thought. But my unsocial intention was airily swept aside by Ernest Lane. I did accompany him to Deene Place, and in due course was presented by him to Sir George and Lady Barthrop.
It was accepted, and a reply returned, equally formal in the trumpeting of Christian names, wherein Ralph Barthrop Morton acknowledged the challenge of Richard Doria Feverel, and was his man. The match came off on a midsummer morning, under the direction of Captain Algernon.
Vincent said that he had mentioned me to Barthrop, and that Barthrop had said that I might have a chance of getting in. It appeared that we should have to go down to the place to be interviewed. We made up our minds to apply, and that night Vincent wrote to Barthrop. The answer was favourable.
I smiled at this, and said, "I don't think there really is much the matter! People can't be always at the top of their game, and he takes a lot out of himself, of course. He's always giving out!" "He is indeed," said Barthrop; "but I won't say more now. I feel better for having told you. Just you keep your eyes open but, for Heaven's sake, don't watch him you know how sharp he is."
I was sitting in my room on the Friday morning, after a sleepless night, when Barthrop came in and handed me a telegram from the doctor. "Mr. Payne never recovered consciousness, and died an hour after the operation. All details arranged. Please await letter." I raised my eyes to Barthrop's face, but saw that he could not speak.
The Jews and the Greeks, both first-class nations, have done more for the world on the whole than the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, who are the best of the second-rate stocks." "But how are you going to begin to sort your material?" said Barthrop. "Yes, you have me there," said Father Payne. "But I don't despair of our ultimately finding that out.
