For long?" "A week, I think. I want to see my brother-in-law. You won't mind being left alone?" "No; I shall do my best to keep in good spirits." "I'll get you a batch of new books. I may as well tell you, Liversedge has been persuaded to stand as Liberal candidate for Polterham at the next election. It surprised me rather; I shouldn't have thought he was the kind of fellow to go in for politics.
Liversedge, declared that he was suffering from an intolerable headache, and begged her to permit his immediate departure. Denzil went with him out into the road. "I could see you were not well," he said, kindly. "I want to have a long and very serious talk with you; it must wait till after to-morrow. You know, of course, what I have on my mind.
"They were at St. Luke's last Sunday," Mrs. Walker was able to declare, though her wonted timidity again threw some suspicion on the statement. "St. Luke's! Why St. Luke's?" cried other voices. "It isn't their parish, is it?" "I think," suggested the widow, "it may be because the Liversedges go to St. Luke's. Mrs. Liversedge is" Her needless information was cut short by a remark from Mrs.
I found that I liked Mr Liversedge very much, as one would wish to like a brother-in-law that was to be. His whole heart seems to be in his Lord's work: and if, perhaps, he is a little sharp and abrupt at times, I think it is simply because he sees everything quickly and distinctly, and speaks as he sees.
Liversedge isn't finally adopted as our candidate some one who, in my opinion, would suit us very well indeed. I am thinking of young Mr. Quarrier, Liversedge's brother-in-law, Mr. Sam Quarrier's nephew." "I can't say I know much for or against him," said the draper. "A barrister, I believe?" questioned Murgatroyd. "Yes, but not practising his profession.
I will go straight to Cartwright's. Do you get back as quickly as you can, and get in the same way you came. Be very careful that no one sees you." So saying he dashed upstairs, pulled on his shoes, and then started at full speed for Liversedge. As he ran he calculated the probabilities of his being there in time.
Generally he made for some wayside inn, where he could refresh himself with a tankard of beer, after which he lit his pipe, and walked with it between his teeth. Toby Liversedge, becoming aware of this habit, was inclined to doubt its prudence. "Beware of the teetotalers, Denzil; they are a power among us."
"I can't: that is exactly the thing." "Don't, then. I could not." "But now, do you believe, Mr Liversedge, I have picked up the words from this fellow that God elected men because He foreknew them, or that He foreknew because He had elected them?" Ambrose gave a little wink at Fanny and me, sitting partly behind him, as if he thought that he had driven the Vicar completely into a corner.
So Ned had no resource left him, and had to consent to dine at Liversedge. Once there he often repeated the visit.
"I certainly should have thought so, as long as I quoted Scripture," said the Vicar. "But, you know, nobody does such a thing," said Ambrose. "Then is it not high time somebody should?" "Mr Liversedge, you will never get promotion, if that be the way you are going on." "In which world?" "`Which world'! There is only one." "I thought there were two." Ambrose fidgetted uneasily on his chair.
