Though there was nothing ahead which he seemed to be going to, and nothing behind which he could now be running from, he did not abate his efforts; he pushed forward As one pursued with yell and blow Still treads the shadow of his foe And forward bends his head. Poor Janet, utterly ignorant of the cause, and knowing not whither she was bound, rode a mad ride to nowhere-in-particular.
Sometimes, trusting in the little gods of the improvident, I was lured into the backwoods of the Ozarks by such a name as "Mountain Home," which caught my fancy on the map; and with no definite "stories" in mind I would go sauntering from Nowhere-in-Particular in Northern Arkansas to Someplace Else in Southern Missouri, snapping pictures by the roadside and scribbling a few necessary notes.
When we would approach God pray to Him He is nowhere to be found: He has disappeared, and everything to do with finding Him is become hard work, such hard work that it suddenly seems to us quite unprofitable: we suddenly remember a number of outside things which we would far sooner do: we try to pray, but the prayer goes nowhere-in-particular; it has no enthusiasm, no force behind it: has prayer then suddenly re-become a duty?
I am that fool, sir, though you have doubtless heard particulars ere now?" "Not a word!" said I. Mr. Beverley glanced at me with a faint mingling of pity and surprise. "My life," I explained, "has been altogether a studious one, with the not altogether unnatural result that I also am bound for Nowhere-in-Particular with just eight shillings and sixpence in my pocket."
"Baptismal name George," continued Bellew, "lately of New York, Newport, and er other places in America, U.S.A., at present of Nowhere-in-Particular." "Ah!" said Mr. Cassilis, his eyes seeming to grow a trifle nearer together, "an American Uncle? Still, I was not aware of even that relationship."
"Beverley," he nodded, "Peregrine Beverley, very much at your service late of Beverley Place, Surrey, now of Nowhere-in-Particular." "Beverley," said I again, "I have heard that name before." "It is highly probable, Mr. Vibart; a fool of that name fortunate or unfortunate as you choose to classify him lost houses, land, and money in a single night's play.
And, presently, he handed me my pipe, and rose. "Mr. Vibart," said he, "it would seem that by no effort, or virtue of my own, I am to win free of this howling desolation of Nowhere-in-Particular, after all; believe me, I would gladly take you with me.
"And mine, as I tell you," said he, "has been an altogether riotous one. Thus each of us, though by widely separate roads you by the narrow and difficult path of Virtue, and I by the broad and easy road of Folly have managed to find our way into this Howling Destitution, which we will call Nowhere-in-Particular. Then how does your path of Virtue better my road of Evil?"
