During the long, sickening weeks that preceded the coming of the Syndicate, Hollingsworth Chase toiled faithfully, resolutely for the restoration of order and system among the demoralised people of Japat.
Hollingsworth, with the best of motives apparently, since his cause is his motive, as he believes, is faithless to his associates and willing to wreck their enterprise because it stands in his way and he is out of sympathy with it; he is faithless to Priscilla in so far as he accepts Zenobia because she can aid him with her wealth, and on her losing her wealth he is faithless to her in returning to Priscilla; he has lost the power to be true, in the other relations of life, through his devotion to his cause.
In denying us our rights, he betrays even more blindness to his own interests than profligate disregard of ours!" "Is this true?" asked Priscilla with simplicity, turning to Hollingsworth. "Is it all true, that Mr. Coverdale and Zenobia have been saying?" "No, Priscilla!" answered Hollingsworth with his customary bluntness. "They have neither of them spoken one true word yet."
In this wretched plight, with a furnace in my heart and another in my head, by the heat of which I was kept constantly at the boiling point, yet shivering at the bare idea of extruding so much as a finger into the icy atmosphere of the room, I kept my bed until breakfast-time, when Hollingsworth knocked at the door, and entered.
But it will not be needful. The heart of time womanhood knows where its own sphere is, and never seeks to stray beyond it!" Never was mortal blessed if blessing it were with a glance of such entire acquiescence and unquestioning faith, happy in its completeness, as our little Priscilla unconsciously bestowed on Hollingsworth.
But, all at once, midway to Hollingsworth, she paused, looked round about her, towards the river, the road, the woods, and back towards us, appearing to listen, as if she heard some one calling her name, and knew not precisely in what direction. "Have you bewitched her?" I exclaimed. "It is no sorcery of mine," said Zenobia; "but I have seen the girl do that identical thing once or twice before.
But, dear Hollingsworth, your own vocation is evidently to be a priest, and to spend your days and nights in helping your fellow creatures to draw peaceful dying breaths." "And by which of my qualities," inquired he, "can you suppose me fitted for this awful ministry?" "By your tenderness," I said. "It seems to me the reflection of God's own love."
Gradually the players began to take their places again. Clifford, too, showed a new face; Hollingsworth being substituted in place of Evans, as right end, the other having been injured in a scrimmage, thought not enough to get out at the time. It was Columbia's kick-off this time, and Jack Comfort was the one to do the honors which would inaugurate the second half of the game.
"Cornelia Molesworth is worrying because she has heard he is not orthodox." "She is not obliged to hear him, is she? Nobody can amount to anything nowadays without being accused of heresy; however, I fancy Dr. Hollingsworth can bear up under Mrs. Molesworth's disapproval." Mrs. Parton surveyed Miss Betty with a twinkle in her eye.
Had a pile of fagots been heaped against the rock, this hint of impending doom would have completed the suggestive picture. "It was too hard upon me," continued Zenobia, addressing Hollingsworth, "that judge, jury, and accuser should all be comprehended in one man! I demur, as I think the lawyers say, to the jurisdiction.
