Hoadly, in his Original and Institution of Civil Government, not only dismisses Filmer in a first part each page of which is modelled upon Locke, but adds a second section in which a defence of Hooker serves rather clumsily to conceal the care with which the Second Treatise had also been pillaged.
He smiled kindly, and pulled a chair up before the hearth. "Been away Filmer, or going?" he asked as he sat down and flung off his coat and fur hat. "Both," Filmer returned, and although his voice was hard and strained, Drew detected a welcome to him in the tone. "I wanted you up at the bungalow," he said quietly; "the girls cannot get along without you.
Presently he leaned down and took the dress-suit case from the other's hand. "Drop that," he drawled, "and you follow me. There's the Black Cat Tavern, but I guess that ain't your kind. Do you think you can make my shack? It's a half-mile, and pretty uppish grade." The boy began to thank Filmer. "Hold on!" Jock commanded. "Keep your wind for the climb, and stop gassing."
It has now, however, been shown that in spite of his professed zeal for research, Filmer, before he had held this scholarship a year, was tempted, by the possibility of a small increase in his immediate income, to abandon it in order to become one of the nine-pence-an-hour computers employed by a well-known Professor in his vicarious conduct of those extensive researches of his in solar physics researches which are still a matter of perplexity to astronomers.
Dibbott looked slightly shocked, but the bishop went on after an eloquent glance at Filmer. "I found much that was admirable up there. It's true that we don't see eye to eye in certain things that appear all important to me, but perhaps also that was to be expected. Now will you excuse me a moment? I see two friends out by the roadside who haven't on their party clothes."
And that is all you have a debt, and against it something that is of no use to you." A chilled surprise trickled through the town hall and Filmer himself, who had been quite unaware how Clark would state his case, began to think that the thing had gone far enough, when the penetrating voice went on. "Now as to the town itself. I have failed, after a careful survey, to find any evidence of growth.
His throat was dry and burning; and the unaccustomed beverage went against all his desire. "I'm off to-morrow for a spell. Won't you join me in a drink, boys?" The invitation was accepted with alacrity, and Smith asked cordially: "Where are you bound to, Filmer?" "Got a job?" Tate gave each man his choice of drinks and looked dubiously at the treater.
"I can hear from here, Ralph; go on." "You know that rich old fellow on the Pacific Coast who has just died, Jasper Filmer, the mining magnate?" "Yes." "He's was Jock's father." Drew heard a package drop from his sister's arms. She stooped and picked it up. From his chair Drew saw that her face never changed expression. "So then, Filmer did not take the trouble to change even his name?"
His final haste after his long laborious secret patience seems to have been due to a needless panic, Bootle, the notorious American scientific quack, having made an announcement that Filmer interpreted wrongly as an anticipation of his idea. Now what precisely was Filmer's idea? Really a very simple one.
It complicated things, because the state of love in such a virgin mind as Filmer's would brace his resolution, if not sufficiently, at any rate considerably towards facing a danger he feared, and hampered him in such attempts at evasion as would otherwise be natural and congenial. It remains a matter for speculation just how the Lady Mary felt for Filmer and just what she thought of him.
