And the longing begot the opportunity. For he had hardly rejoined his brother visitors when the absorbing thought took word again, and he began questioning them eagerly for more information about Hypatia.
Kingsley that I am engaged in examining Scripture with certain of the Lord's children. And I, a little later, kneeling at the window, while the candidates were being dismissed with prayer, watched the author of Hypatia nervously careening about the garden, very restless and impatient, yet preferring this ignominy to the chance of losing my Father's company altogether.
When all was over in the church, and Hypatia was dead, and the mob had rushed out, Philammon sank down exhausted outside, and the little porter burst out into a bitter agony of human tears. "She is with the gods," said the porter at last. "She is with the God of gods," answered Philammon. Then he felt that he must arise and flee for his life. He had gone forth to see the world, and he had seen it.
Toland wrote many other books, among which are Amyntor ; Nazarenus ; Pantheisticon; History of the Druids; and Hypatia. All his books show versatility and wide reading and are characterized by a pointed, vigorous, and aggressive style.
Amarantus was the captain, who wished to die, because he was deep in debt. What with the devil-may-care captain, the Maccabean steersman, and the critical onlooker, who was a devoted admirer of Hypatia, rarely has wayfaring been conducted under more delightful conditions. As is often the case in life, the humors of the scene almost obscure the fact that the lives of the actors were in real danger.

And Hypatia, turning pale as death, drew her father with unphilosophic haste down a side-walk. 'Yes, she went on to herself, as soon as she had recovered her equanimity.
How could the Church work freely and healthily while she was crushed and fettered by the rulers of this world? And how could they be anything but the tyrants and antichrists they were, while they were menaced and deluded by heathen philosophy, and vain systems of human wisdom? If Orestes was the curse of the Alexandrian Church, then Hypatia was the curse of Orestes. On her head the true blame lay.
'The reality of philosophy has died long ago, but the great ones find it still worth their while to worship its shadow. 'Some of them worship more than a shadow, when they haunt her house, said Peter. 'Do you think Orestes goes thither only for philosophy? 'We must not judge harsh judgments, said the old priest; 'Synesius of Cyrene is a holy man, and yet he loves Hypatia well.
