What he wanted to know, therefore, was not so much the opinion of Jenifer's father about himself and the engagement, as to find out her present whereabouts. From the first moment of their meeting he knew that he did not stand in the Archbishop's good graces; but that hardly concerned him; and so it was almost without circumlocution that he asked for Jenifer's address.
For now he was going to sacrifice his most sacred conventions, his ideal of how an unmarried woman should be trained. "My child," he said, "do you think that you know this man?" "Yes; I know him better than any one else in the world." "Do you also know his life?" Jenifer's look turned on him a little curiously. "I know," she said, "that he is not really a Christian."
The temporary separation between himself and his beloved, brought about in a conventional way which he thoroughly despised, was for the moment a hindrance; but it had not yet taken to itself the colors of doom. He knew that Jenifer's heart was entirely his, and that they, with their common honesty, had only to meet again to be made one.
And so he raved, and roamed, and stumbled, and fell; and rose, and roamed, and raved, and stumbled, and fell, while the great torchlight procession sang and cheered him from below. He was wildly fighting his pain still when two persons, who, after ringing and ringing, had finally been let in by Jenifer's key, stood where the door had been. "My God," cried one, in terror. "He's crazy! Come away!"
