The relations of the Jesuit towards Miss Fountain during this time were curious. It was plain to Helbeck that Father Leadham treated the girl with a new respect, and that she on her side showed herself much more at ease with him than she had used to be.
He believes in acting on and with the Protestant world in our claiming prominence as citizens. It was to please him that I joined one or two committees last year that I went to the hunt ball " Then, suddenly, in a very characteristic way, Helbeck checked his own flow of speech, and resumed more quietly: "Well, all that " "Leaves you of the same opinion still?" said the Jesuit, smiling.
When, finally, Helbeck stands by the account given of the life of the Jesuit saint, Francis Borgia, who cheerfully surrenders his wife, disposes of his eight little children and then goes off to Rome "to save his soul" by becoming a Jesuit, the cup is full.
Williams, and her pride in her new dress, had both combined to give her colour and radiance. Helbeck saw her come in with a start of pleasure. Augustina fidgeted uncomfortably. She thought that Laura might have dressed in something more quiet and retiring to meet a guest who was a religious, almost a priest. Helbeck introduced the newcomer.
The Jesuit pondered a little. "No; you will have to keep watch. Why not distract her? You must have plenty of other neighbours to show her." Helbeck shook his head. "I live like a hermit. My sister is in the first year of her widowhood and very delicate." "I see."
A little shiver passed through her, caused by the recollection of words she had heard, acts of which she had been a witness, in the chapel during the foregoing week words and acts of emotion, of abandonment love crying to love. A momentary thirst seized her an instant's sense of privation, of longing, gone almost as soon as it had come. Helbeck turned to her.
Mason emerged the girl was already in the passage. "I heard," she said briefly. "Let us go down." Mrs. Mason, pale and frowning, led the way. She undid the heavy bars and lock, and for the first time in her life stood confronted on her own threshold with the Papist Squire of Bannisdale. Mr. Helbeck greeted her ceremoniously.
Her lover tells her the story of his own life, how he had been brought to his present ideals a story of exceeding great pathos, which utterly overcomes the sensitive, shrinking girl by his side but it was the end. Half-hysterically she falls into his arms, and Helbeck almost believes the great renunciation is to follow. "His heart beat with a happiness he had never known before."
One afternoon towards the end of Mr. Williams's visit, Laura was walking along a high field-path that overlooked the whole valley of the Flent. Helbeck had gone to meet the Bishop on some urgent business; but the name of his Catholic affairs was legion. The weather, after long days of golden mist, of veiled and stealing lights on stream and fell, had turned to rain and tumult.
"Dinner, I think, was to be at a quarter to eight." "That was the time I was ordered, sir," said Mrs. Denton. "Can't it be earlier?" asked the girl impetuously. Mrs. Denton did not reply, but her shoulders grew visibly rigid. "Do what you can for us, Denton," said her master hastily, and she went away. Helbeck bent kindly over his sister. "You know what a small establishment we have, Augustina.
