For who knows what spell the heretic Saracen may have cast over them?" "Monsieur knows," said Breton piously, "that I have had them sprinkled with the blessed water." The Chevalier laughed. He was rather a godless youth, and whatever religion he possessed was merely observance of forms.
But, mind you, he stripeit the other lay estates with a feather, but us hotel-keepers with a neat's pizzle: godless for this, godless for that, and most godless of all for opening our doors during mass. Why, the law forces us to open at all hours to travellers from another town, stopping, halting, or passing: those be the words.
Let us follow the philosophy of the Fall into some of its more obvious consequences. Between these two worlds intercourse is, in the nature of things, impossible. But Man is not content that his state of godless isolation should endure for ever. As a thinker, he has exiled God from Nature and therefore from his own daily life.
On the one hand, it is lurid as a furnace, and burns up the wicked root and branch. I saw a forest fire this last autumn, and the great pine-trees stood there for a moment pyramids of flame, and then came down with a crash. So that hereafter will be to godless men.
His friends may bury him provided they will remember they are not burying Socrates; and that all things may be done decently and in order, a cock must go to AEsculapius.

"What king," said the mystical charmer, and as he spoke he carelessly rested his hand on my shoulder, so that I trembled to feel that this dread son of Nature, Godless and soulless, who had been and, my heart whispered, who still could be my bane and mind-darkener, leaned upon me for support, as the spoilt younger-born on his brother, "what king," said this cynical mocker, with his beautiful boyish face, "what king in your civilized Europe has the sway of a chief of the East?
"Matter is no longer the dead, inorganic, 'godless thing' which the old-time theologians declared it to be. Matter, so far from being some inert lump, is permeated with life is life itself. So far as we now know, all the visible and tangible universe is resolvable into terms of force that is to say, chemical process. There may be no line of demarcation between the organic and the inorganic."
He can adapt himself to its requirements; can level himself to its social and spiritual necessities; does more good in it every day than a more polished, or brilliant, or namby- pamby parson would be able to accomplish in a year; has an excellent wife, who takes her share of the district's work; attends to the varied wants of the locality and there are many in a godless district like his, with its 5,000 souls in a most praiseworthy manner.
