Certain, even when, as we sat at our dish of tea, there came in two little dainty notes the first invitations to worldly festivity that had ever tempted our Quaker household, and which Jael flung out of her fingers as if they had been coals from Gehenna. Jessop's, with Mr. and Lady Caroline Brithwood, of the Mythe House. "Give them to your father, Phineas."
He swore, he curst, and said, these be they that worshippe that crucifide God of Nazareth, heres the fruits of their newfound gospell, sulphur and gunpouder carry them all quick to Gehenna.
The white tent was there no longer; the place was rid of the woman and her luxuries. Had she decamped with two ends in view to get away from the infected spot and to anticipate the Effendi in his search? "Gehenna!" he said again.
After the collation the commissioners were permitted to go from the camp in order to consult Mayenne. Such then was the condition of Paris during that memorable summer of tortures. What now were its hopes of deliverance out of this Gehenna?
What is it doing to extinguish the well-nigh shoreless Gehenna that threatens to engulf it?
"Awfully glad to be anywhere around when you need me," he said; "still I hope you don't mind my suggesting that this is a Gehenna of a place for either of us to be in." "Haven't you any feeling for the downtrodden?" Nancy asked, with a faint reflection of what Billy referred to as her "older and better manner." "I'm downtrodden myself, Nancy." She smiled in her turn.
But God bade each drop pass through Gehenna before it fell to earth, and the hot rain scalded the skin of the sinners. The punishment that overtook them was befitting their crime. As their sensual desires had made them hot, and inflamed them to immoral excesses, so they were chastised by means of heated water.
But will, I ask myself, posterity sit before the masterpieces of Matisse, Picasso, and Van Dongen, and experience that nostalgia of the ideal of which I wrote at the beginning of these desultory notes? Why not? There may be other ideals in those remote times, ideals that may be found incarnate in some new-fangled tremendous Gehenna. But nature will always remain modern.
'May they feel with Dathan and Abiram the damnation of Gehenna, is a fair sample of the formulae which are found in the writings of men who, while they called themselves the servants of Jesus Christ our Lord, derived their notions of the next world principally from the sixth book of Virgil's AEneid. And what they meant by their words their acts shewed.
"Ther' 's places in them alleys 'n' dark holes, Miss Marg'et, like th' openin's to hell, with th' thick smells 'n' th' sights yoh'd see." She went back with a terrible clinging pity to the Gehenna from which she had escaped. The ill of life was real enough to her, a hungry devil down in those alleys and dens.
