How much then would you have had to do with a young fellow of whom you knew only four things that he gambled, got drunk, 'bezzled a thousand dollars, and had been in jail? That's all most people in town know about you." Haldane laid down his knife and fork and fairly groaned. "I know the plain truth is tough to hear and think about, and I'm an old brute to spile your supper by bringing it up.
"When do you think he became a Christian?" "Still less can I answer that question definitely." "But would not one naturally think it was when he was conscious of that happy change in the study of good old Dr. Marks?" "Poor Haldane has been conscious of many changes and experiences, but I do not despise or make light of any of them.
As he grew older his father's friends told him he was leading a wretchedly lonely life; that he ought to marry. And at this Haldane smiled his deprecating, affectionate smile a smile that, somehow, convinced his advisers in their own wisdom.
"O auntie, what does all this mean? Am I in any way to blame? He said he would go to ruin if I didn't but how could I?" "No, my dear, you are not in the slightest degree to blame. Mr. Haldane seems both bad and foolish.
He invited me to a review which he held of his troops there, and in the course of it rode up to the carriage in which I was seated and said, "A splendid machine I have in this army, Mr. Haldane; now isn't it so? And what could I do without it, situated as I am between the Russians and the French? But the French are your allies are they not? So I beg pardon."
"You are an unmitigated scoundrel. I won't pay you another cent." "Lock dat door, Carl," said the landlord, coolly, to one of his satellites. "Now, Mister Haldane, you bays, or you goes to jail. You has been dare vonce, and I'll but you dare dis night if you no bays me." "Gentlemen, I appeal to you to prevent this downright villany," cried Haldane.
If all had remained as it was at Hillaton, the ice around uncle's heart would have grown harder and thicker to the end; now it is melting away, and auntie's thoughts reach so far beyond time and earth, that she is forgetting the painful present in thoughts of the future." "I have often asked myself," exclaimed Haldane, "could God have made a nobler woman? Ah!
But be that as it may, a good Christian man is sustained by something far more substantial than the world's breath." Out of respect for Mrs. Arnot, Haldane was silent. He supposed that her proposed remedy for his desperate troubles was that he should "become a Christian," and to this phrase he had learned to give only the most conventional meaning.
The April sun shone brightly and genially into the apartment in which Haldane had been left to sleep off his drunken stupor. In all its appointments it appeared as fresh, inviting, and cleanly as the wholesome light without.
The Government, represented in this matter by Mr. Haldane, is still in the position of relying upon an improved militia and volunteer force. The National Service League, on the other hand, advocates the principle of the citizen's duty, though it couples with it a specific programme borrowed from the Swiss system, the adoption of which was deprecated in the Commission's Report.
