Agatha assented, though not quite certain to what. Scanning Mr. Grimes more narrowly, she faintly remembered him, and the unpleasant, nasal-toned voice which had gabbled through her marriage settlement. She wondered what he had come to Nathanael for? why Nathanael's father paid him such attention?
Then Nathanael's whole heart went over to Jesus, and he cried, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel!" He needed nothing more to prove that Jesus was the Christ, but Jesus told him that he should see greater things, angels out of the open heaven ascending and descending upon Him. Nathanael became the fifth disciple. His name was afterward called Bartholomew.
They seemed to know all about her from Anne Valery doubtless and to be delighted at Nathanael's choice. There was a kind but formal missive from the old father, implying his dignified satisfaction that at last one of his sons would marry to keep up the family name.
Oh! do tell us, my good sir?" Hence I was most powerfully impelled to narrate to you Nathanael's ominous life.
Immediately afterwards, Nathanael's conversation likewise ebbed away into silence. The next time Agatha heard him speak was in answer to a sudden question of his brother's as to what had made him return to London so unexpectedly. "I thought you would have stayed at least three months." "No," he said in a low tone; "by that time I shall be far enough away." "Why so?"
He said their misery broke his heart." Miss Valery spoke softly, but the words caught Nathanael's ear. He looked greatly shocked and said, in a low tone, "Anne, don't talk of this. If I live, the wrong shall be atoned for." Agatha wondered for the moment what wrong there was which made her husband look so pained and humbled.
He was a remarkably tall man, with grey hair, and features not unlike Nathanael's, being regular and delicate. But their expression was much harsher, and indicative of a strong will and a settled bitterness, which only passed over when he smiled. This smile was very beautiful, and seemed to steal from his worn and hard-lined aspect at least ten years. Agatha knew who he was immediately.
He made himself and Clara, united by true love, the central figures, but represented a black hand as being from time to time thrust into their life and plucking out a joy that had blossomed for them. At length, as they were standing at the altar, the terrible Coppelius appeared and touched Clara's lovely eyes, which leapt into Nathanael's own bosom, burning and hissing like bloody sparks.
"Here's the gate. I'll open it. Now we get into Anne Valery's property," said Harrie, as she leaped down and leaped up again, mocking Nathanael's "brown study." "What a change!" Agatha cried. "I have not seen such trees in Dorsetshire." "They seem indeed to have grown on purpose for Anne. Her grandfather built Thornhurst. A queer desolate spot to choose, but it's a perfect little nest of beauty.
The sight was so startling, so moving especially in a woman of Miss Valery's mature age and composed demeanour that Nathanael's wife instinctively turned her eyes away and kept silence. In a minute or two Anne had returned to Mr.
