"You may take Miss Mansel's dressing-case to her room and see to her fire, then you are to go back to bed." "It won't take a minute to serve you, sir." "Thomas, you are to do as I say. It was very good of you to come down. I'm much obliged. Good night." "Good night, sir. Oh " "Yes?" "I forgot to tell you, sir, there's a temporary maid will wait on Miss Mansel in the morning, sir.
"She does not mean to lay it aside, Sir Mungo," said Heriot, speaking loud, "until she has had satisfaction from you, for betraying her disguise to me, like a false knight and in very deed, Sir Mungo, I think when you told me she was rambling about in so strange a dress, you might have said also that she was under Lady Mansel's protection."
"M. Le Mansel's reply was a kind of crow which expressed his admiration. "'That egg, young sir, he added, 'has not been dyed as you seem to think. It was laid by a Cingalese hen in my poultry-yard just as you see it there. It is a phenomenal egg. "'You must not forget to say, Madame Le Mansel added in a plaintive voice, 'that this egg was laid the very day our Alexandre was born.
Conway had passed beyond the emotional Theism of Mr. Voysey, and talk with him did something towards widening my views on the question of a Divine Existence. I re-read carefully Mansel's Bampton Lectures, and found in them much to provoke doubt, nothing to induce faith. Take the following phrases, and think whither they carry us.
That ground, however, I failed to find; there were poetry, beauty, enthusiasm, devotion; but there was no rock on which I might take my stand. Mansel's Bampton lectures on "The Limits of Religious Thought" deepened and intensified my doubts.
The present writer was at Oxford in the last three years of the decade in which it appeared, and can well recall the share that it had, along with Mansel's Bampton Lectures and other books on both sides, in shaking the fabric of early beliefs in some of the most active minds then in the University.
Mansel's endeavour, out of agnosticism to conjure the most absurdly positivistic faith, had left thinking men more exposed to scepticism, if possible, than they had been before.
