Have you ever made up your mind, Jansenius, whether I am an unusually honest man, or one of the worst products of the social organization I spend all my energies in assailing an infernal scoundrel, in short?" "Now pray do not be absurd," said Mr. Jansenius. "I wonder at a man of your ability behaving and speaking as you sometimes do."
Henrietta screwed her lips into a curious pout and withdrew. Arthur then came in and stood at the window in sullen silence, brooding over his recent expulsion. Suddenly he exclaimed: "Here's papa, and it's not five o'clock yet!" whereupon his mother sent him away again. Mr. Jansenius was a man of imposing presence, not yet in his fiftieth year, but not far from it.
He wished himself elsewhere; but beside Gertrude the presence or absence of any other person troubled him very little. "How are the Janseniuses?" said Trefusis, suddenly turning to Agatha. "They are quite well, thank you," she said in measured tones. "I met John Jansenius in the city lately. You know Jansenius?" he added parenthetically to Sir Charles.
Jansenius, seated at the table, looked somewhat like two culprits about to be indicted. Miss Wilson waited for him to speak, deferring to his imposing presence. But he was not ready, so she invited Agatha to sit down. "Thank you," said Agatha sweetly. "Well, Uncle John, don't you know me?"
"He will naturally be disappointed if you persist in making a fool of yourself," said Mrs. Jansenius. "All Miss Wilson wants is an apology for the dreadful things you wrote in her book," said Mrs. Wylie. "You'll apologize, dear, won't you?" "Of course she will," said Henrietta. "I think you had better," said Mrs. Jansenius. "Perhaps I will," said Agatha. "That's my own darling," said Mrs.
That Vincent clearly saw the danger is shown by one of his letters to a member of the Jansenist company who had written protesting against the attitude that St. Lazare was taking in the matter: "Your last letter says that we have done wrong in going against public opinion concerning the book Frequent Communion and the teaching of Jansenius.
Jansenius has asked me to ask I was about to say that I am not speaking now as the medical adviser of this family; but although an old friend and ahem! Mrs. Jansenius has asked me to ask to request you to excuse Mr. Jansenius, as he is prostrated by grief, and is, as I can as a medical man assure you, unable to see anyone.
During these transactions France was distracted by religious disputes, occasioned by the bull Unigenitus thundered against the doctrines of Jansenius; a bull which had produced a schism in the Gallican church, and well nigh involved that country in civil war and confusion.
Before they could add a word she had turned with a pirouette to the door, and fled, presenting herself a moment later in the drawing-room to the three ladies, whom she surveyed with a whimsical smile in silence. "Well?" said Mrs. Jansenius peremptorily. "Well, dear?" said Mrs. Trefusis, caressingly. Mrs. Wylie stifled a sob and looked imploringly at her daughter.
Miss Wilson, astonished, determined to tell him coldly that her time was valuable. But curiosity took possession of her in the act of utterance, and the words that came were, "Who was she?" "Henrietta Jansenius. She is Henrietta Trefusis, and I am Sidney Trefusis, at your mercy. I see I have aroused your compassion at last."
