It was necessary for her to meet him again in order that he might explain to her how it came that he had preferred the attractions incidental to a cruise with Lord Earlscourt and his friends to all that she had written to offer him. And yet when her husband, after having quite finished with his paper, said: "It's very awkward that Herbert Courtland is not in town."
"Where else should I be?" he said, in so low a tone as to be heard only by her. "We are so glad," said Mrs. Linton. "I want to present you to my dearest friend, Phyllis Ayrton." "A woman!" said he. "Not yet. She has never met a man. She will to-night," said Ella. Then she turned to Phyllis, who was walking beside Lord Earlscourt.
People then said that Lord Earlscourt was a lesser fool than some of his acts suggested. Others said that the Rev. George Holland had never been a fool, though he had been a Fellow of his college. They were right. George Holland knew that it was a troublesome process becoming a good clergyman, so he determined to become a good preacher instead.
Courtland. "You don't know how I've been abused during the past fortnight, indeed you don't," moaned Lord Earlscourt. "Why, there's my own wife, she abused me like a cab-driver because George Holland had been with us on the platform when the Chinese teetotalers came here to protest against the public houses in England; she says that his backsliding will put back the cause a quarter of a century.
His smile was broader as he said: "Well, I'm not so sure that my disappointment was such as would tend to make me take a gloomy view of life for an indefinite time.

In the bows a youth was making the night hideous through the agency of a banjo and a sham negro melody. Amidships, Lord Earlscourt and two other men were playing, by the light of a lantern slung from the backstay, a game called poker; Lord Earlscourt, at every fresh deal, trying to make the rest understand how greatly the worry of being held responsible, as the patron of the living of St.
She herself, Lady Earlscourt admitted, had been very angry with George Holland for writing something that the newspapers found it to their advantage to abuse so heartily; and Lord Earlscourt, being a singularly sensitive man, had been greatly worried by the comments which had been passed upon his discrimination in intrusting to a clergyman who could bring himself to write "Revised Versions" a cure of such important souls as were to be found at St.
His popularity within a certain circle was great; but, as Lord Earlscourt was heard to say, "He never played to the pit." He was invited to speak to a resolution at a Mansion House meeting to express indignation at the maintenance of the opium traffic in China.
She felt that it would indeed be impossible for her to explain to this lady of logic that she believed the truth to be a horizon line, and that any opinion which was a little above this line was as abhorrent as any that was a little below it. "If you are stubborn, God may marry you to a Dissenter yet," said Lady Earlscourt solemnly. Phyllis smiled and shook her head again.
