His parishioners! his Christians! Oh God! The man was speaking in his shrill voice. "Well, I was a Traction sucker, all right, and I guess you wouldn't have to walk more than two blocks to find another in this neighbourhood. You think Eldon Parr's a big, noble man, don't you? You're proud to run his church, ain't you?
Her spirit, too, like his own, like 'Mrs Constable's, like Eldon Parr's, like Eleanor Goodrich's, was divided against itself; and this phenomenon in Mrs. Larrabbee was perhaps a greater shock to him, since he had always regarded her as essentially in equilibrium.
Parr's gesture implied that he cared not by what name the thing was called, but he still appeared strangely, astonishingly calm; Hodder, with all his faculties acute, apprehended that he was dangerously calm.
And in truth there were some who seemed scarcely to realize they were not in a public vehicle. An elaborately dressed female in front of them, whose expansive hat brushed her neighbours, made audible comments to a stout man with a red neck which was set in a crease above his low collar. "They tell me Eldon Parr's pew has a gold plate on it. I wish I knew which it was.
The weak and idiotic ought to be absurdly grateful for what is flung to them, and heaven is gained in the throwing. In this way the rich inevitably become the elect, both here and hereafter, and the needle's eye is widened into a gap." There was on Mr. Parr's lips a smile not wholly pleasant to see.
It must be, it was, Hodder saw, for Kate Marcy's sake; yes, and for Eldon Parr's as well, that he be given this opportunity to deal with the woman whom he had driven away from his son, and ruined.
He was dazzled by the brilliancy of your success, inspired by a civilization which gave such opportunities. He recognized that he himself had not the brains for such an achievement, his hope and love and ambition were centred in his boy." At the word Eldon Parr's glance was suddenly dulled by pain. He tightened his lips.
Parr's voice, never failed to find a response in the rector's heart, and he would ponder over it as he walked across to Tower Street to take the electric car for the six-mile trip westward. This note of appeal he inevitably contrasted with the dry, matter-of-fact reserve of his greeting at the great house, which loomed all the greater in the darkness.
Gifts will not help you, and charities are of no avail." At the reference to Kate Marcy Eldon Parr's hand dropped to his side. He seemed to have physical difficulty in speaking. "Ah, you have found that woman!" He leaned an elbow on the desk, he seemed suddenly to have become weary, spent, old.
The weak and idiotic ought to be absurdly grateful for what is flung to them, and heaven is gained in the throwing. In this way the rich inevitably become the elect, both here and hereafter, and the needle's eye is widened into a gap." There was on Mr. Parr's lips a smile not wholly pleasant to see.
