"Up," said Caiaphas, "let us now hasten to Pilate," and Nathanael and Ezekiel added, "Let us demand his death, his blood." Then all the people answered, "On to Pilate; the Nazarene shall die!" As they came tripping forward their leaders addressed them from time to time to incite their zeal. "He hath falsified the law," cried the leaders. "He has contemned Moses and the prophets!"
When Nathanael called Jesus, Rabbi, King of Israel, and Son of God, his ideas may still have been very immature, but in time the true meaning of the Son of God breaks through more and more clearly. Because Jesus has through his own sonship in God declared to us ours also. Jesus himself, however, is the only begotten Son, the light of the world.
Where is he, that he may experience our vengeance?" The priests replied: "He has conveyed himself away." "Then," cried the traders, "we will pursue him." But Nathanael, seeing what advantage might result from the discontent of the merchants, arrested their pursuit. "Stay friends," he said; "the faction that follows this man is at present too large.
The answer was in a tone that put an end to any more jesting. Nathanael sat down, and tried to take up the thread of politics just dropped with Mr. Thornycroft, but only for a few minutes. Then, stealing round by Miss Bowen's side, he whispered: "I want to speak to you: would you mind coming home soon?"
Their expression could not be mistaken; they were lover's eyes such as never in her life she had met before. They seemed constraining her to do what out of pity or mechanical impulse she at once did silently to hold out her hand. Nathanael took it with his usual manner. There was no other greeting on his part or hers. Immediately afterwards he slipped away to the very farthest corner of the room.
On the fourth day, while Miss Bowen was out walking, Nathanael Harper called to take leave before his journey to Dorsetshire. He stayed some time, waiting Agatha's return, Mrs. Ianson thought; but finally changed his mind, and made an abrupt departure, for which that young lady was rather sorry than otherwise.
But once or twice Agatha, wearied out with laughing and listening, stole a look towards the figure that she felt was sitting there; and encountered the only sign Nathanael gave, the unmistakeable "lover's eyes."
She felt all the solemnity of her position, and, as yet, little of its sweetness. Perhaps that would come in time. She resolved to do her duty towards him whom she so tenderly honoured, and who so deeply loved herself; and all the evening the entire gentleness of her behaviour was enough to charm the very soul of any one who held towards her the relation now borne by Nathanael Harper.
No one saw the faces of father and son; they were bent together, just as when, years upon years ago, the proud father had sometimes condescended to let his baby son, his first-born and heir, go to sleep upon his shoulder. Thus, after many minutes, Nathanael found them lying.
At last Nathanael said: "I would it were possible indeed I have often vainly tried to persuade Uncle Brian to come back to England. But since he will not, it is clearly right for me to return to Canada. Anne Valery says so." "Anne Valery!" again repeated Agatha, catching at this second strange name with which she was supposed to be familiar.
