Franklyn seemed always busy about something or other, and never interfered with us except to propose motoring, tea in another part of the lawn, and so forth. She flitted everywhere, preoccupied, yet apparently doing nothing. The house engulfed her rather. No visitor called.
The weakness of the court, also, could not more evidently appear, than by its being reduced to use so ineffectual an expedient, in order to obtain an influence over the commons. * Rushworth, vol. i. p. 192. Parl. Hist, vol. vi. p. 407. Franklyn, p. 113. Rushworth, vol. i. p. 196.
But even more than this I abhorred the later influence that Mr. Franklyn had steeped his wife in, capturing her body and soul in his somber doctrines. I had dreaded lest my sister also might be caught. "Now that she is alone again " I stopped short. Our eyes now made pretence impossible, for the truth had slipped out inevitably, stupidly, although unexpressed in definite language.
Life was so short that it was no longer worth his while to do anything thoroughly well. BURGE. Do you think that is enough to constitute what an average elector would consider a Fall? Is it tragic enough? FRANKLYN. That is only the first step of the Fall. Adam did not fall down that step only: he fell down a whole flight.
Imagine a girl living at home with her mother and on her father for three hundred years! Theyd murder her if she didn't murder them first. LUBIN. By the way, Barnabas, is your daughter to keep her good looks all the time? FRANKLYN. Will it matter? Can you conceive the most hardened flirt going on flirting for three centuries?
With you they never know where they are. FRANKLYN. Well, where are you? What are you? BURGE. Barnabas: you must be mad. You ask me what I am? FRANKLYN. I do.
All law limits liberty of conscience: if a man's conscience allows him to steal your watch or to shirk military service, how much liberty do you allow it? Liberty of conscience is not my point. Half the time you are saying that you must have principles; and when I offer you principles you say they wont work. FRANKLYN. You have not offered me any principles.
The Church people here are mostly as dull as ditch-water. I have heard such a lot about you; and there are so jolly few people to talk to. I thought you perhaps wouldn't mind. Do you mind? for of course I'll go like a shot if I'm in the way. HASLAM. Haslam. THE CLERICAL GENTLEMAN. Mr Haslam. Conrad Barnabas. My name is Franklyn: Franklyn Barnabas. I was in the Church myself for some years.
Notwithstanding that the king's measures, on the supposition of a foreign war, which they had constantly demanded, were altogether unexceptionable, they obstinately refused any further aid. * Parl. Hist. vol. vi. p. 396. Rush, vol. i. p. 177, 178, etc. Parl. Hist. vol. vi. p. 399. Franklyn, p. 108, 109. Journ. 10th Aug. 1625. * Rush, vol. i. p. 190. Parl. Hist. vol. vi. p. 390.
Very important. FRANKLYN. Well, consider it this way. It is clear that when Adam and Eve were immortal it was necessary that they should make the earth an extremely comfortable place to live in. BURGE. True. If you take a house on a ninety-nine years lease, you spend a good deal of money on it. If you take it for three months you generally have a bill for dilapidations to pay at the end of them.
