Simpkinson which I forwarded ten days ago? I have not seen her since your abrupt departure from her house." It is rather regrettable that the one side of Borrow's character has to be so emphasised. He could be just and gracious, even to the point of sternly rebuking one who represented his own religious convictions and supporting a dissenter.
Gold, the Congregationalist minister of Stratford, whom he called a dissenter, had said of him "that he was a thief, and robber of churches, and had no business in the place; that his church doors stood open to all mischief and wickedness, and other words of like import."

Mr. May was aware that human nature is strangely blind to its own deficiencies, but was it possible that any delusion could go so far as this?
