Moreover, Berridge rushed into the very thick of the Calvinistic controversy, from which Grimshaw held aloof. Berridge was the better read and the more highly trained man of the two. He was a Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge, and before his conversion he was much sought after, and that by men of great eminence, as a wit and an amusing boon companion.
His Seigneurie, at all events, delightfully, hadn't the least real idea of what any John Berridge was talking about, and the latter felt that if he had been less beautifully witless, and thereby less true to his right figure, it might scarce have been forgiven him.
"The Top of the Tree, by Amy Evans" scarce credible words floating before Berridge after he had with an anguish of effort dropped his eyes on the importunate title-page represented an object as alien to the careless grace of goddess-haunted Arcady as a washed-up "kodak" from a wrecked ship might have been to the appreciation of some islander of wholly unvisited seas.
It could only be so extraordinary, her meaning, whatever it was, that the need in him that would whatever it was again! meet it most absolutely formed the syllables on his lips as: "Will you be very, very kind to me?"

For three days Fletcher remained at Everton, joined there by the Countess of Huntingdon and two well-known clergymen, Martin Madan and Henry Venn.
"You don't need to understand. Don't attempt such base things. Leave those to us. Only live. Only be. We'll do the rest." She moved over she had come close to the window. "Ah, but Mr. Berridge !" He raised both hands; he shook them at her gently, in deep and soft deprecation. "Don't sound my dreadful name. Fortunately, however, you can't help yourself." "Ah, voyons! I so want !"
