Then he turned to Garvin, who stood mutely, staring. "Good evening, sir," he said. "We must look for the best." They went down the stairs of the shabby and battered house, stairs by the side of which holes had been knocked through the faded wall-paper scars of frequent movings.
"She would go if Sir Peter told her." "She says that these movings are newfangled fashions, and that the air didn't use to want changing for folk when she was young. I heard her tell Sir Peter herself, that if she couldn't live at Exeter, she would die there. She won't go nowheres, Miss Dorothy. She ain't careful to live." "Tell me something, Martha; will you?" "What is it, Miss Dorothy?"
There were weddings at the little church, and burials; there were dances at the golf club; there were Christmas trees, where most of the presents like Honora's came from afar, from family centres formed in a social period gone by; there were promotions for the heads of families, and consequent rejoicings over increases of income; there were movings; there were inevitable in the ever grinding action of that remorseless law, the survival of the fittest commercial calamities, and the heartrending search for new employment.
There are sure more forces in this Universe than Man has so far discovered, and so, not dreaming of them, can neither protect himself against, nor aid them in their workings if he would. Who has not sometimes fancied he saw their mysterious movings and if of daring mind been tempted to believe that in some future, even on this earth, the science of their laws might be sought for and explained?
This will-worship, which all is that is performed in the will of man and not in the movings of the Holy Spirit, was a great hurt to me, and hindrance of my spiritual growth in the way of truth.
A man he had given his name to the people of the house as Antony Dart awakened in a third-story bedroom in a lodging-house in a poor street in London, and as his consciousness returned to him, its slow and reluctant movings confronted the second point of view marked by enormous differences.
There was a gas stove at one side, a linoleum-covered table in the centre, littered with bottles, plates, and pitchers, a bed and chairs which had known better days, new obviously bruised and battered by many enforced movings. In one corner was huddled a little group of toys. He was suddenly and guiltily aware that the woman had followed his glance. "We had them in Alder Street," she said.
Perkin, believing she had laid in awe the foundation of a rightful authority over the young person, gave her a nod of dismissal, which she intended to be friendly. "Please, ma'am," said Mary, "could I have one of my boxes taken up stairs?" "Certainly not. I can not have two movings of them; I must take care of my men. And your boxes, I understand, are heavy, quite absurdly so.
Talking with her, you saw, as in a divine kaleidoscope, the gleams and shiftings and combinings of heavenly and internal things; shown in simplest movings and relations of most real and every day experience and incident. But she never went on and "went over," exhorting. She did not believe in discourses, she said, even from the pulpit very much. She believed in a sermon, and letting it go.
She laid herself down upon a sofa near the cot, and pretended to sleep, until the nurse had gone to bed, after endless fussings and rustlings and movings to and fro, that were torture to Mrs. Granger's nerves; and then listened and watched all the night through. No one came.
