Shabby folks, with long beards, come to see him. He has left off family devotions." Susan was weeping; when, at a quick step in the hall, she took alarm, and hurried from the room, just in time to hide her tears from her husband. "Alone?" said Pendlam. "No; Susan has just left me." "I am glad you have come. I have thought for several days that I required your magnetism.
She is the lamb that was entrusted to your keeping, and that you suffered the obscene bird to carry away!" "You are pleased to employ harsh terms," said Pendlam, meekly. "Susan has done well; she has followed her attractions, and that is obedience to the Spirit. Perfect freedom is essential to progression.
"I am glad you have gone farther," I answered. "But in the same direction, I assure you!" said Pendlam, quickly. "Step by step, step by step." "You were on your way back to Paul and the Fathers." "Yes; and on my arrival among them, I found myself one of the Fathers! It was a necessary experience. As Paul spoke by authority, so I, when I stand where Paul stood, also speak by authority.
I have been to to call on HER; and who do you suppose had been dining with her?" I named successively several noted actress-hunters and snobs, whose names disgusted Horatio. "Who then?" I asked. "Pendlam! Pendlam! Pendlam!" ejaculated Horatio. "He wanted to consult HER upon the subject of creating a Divine Drama, or some such nonsense." "Possibly a new Divine Comedy," I suggested.
"Interfering with my business! getting away my custom! insulting folks with your cursed tracts!" frothed the angry man. "I swore to cowhide you, and I've done it!" "If that is the case, I have no complaint to make," said Pendlam. "You can go on with your cowhiding." "You've had enough for once!" growled the other, rolling up the lash.
"Better let such abstract subjects alone." "Dangerous doctrine! dangerous doctrine!" chimed in the gray-haired deacon. On reaching the open air, I observed that Pendlam was quite tremulous and flushed. "You see," he said with a smile, "what it is to be a minister." We went home to his house. Horatio had arrived before us, in company with Susan and her mother.
Another long sigh from Susan. Mrs. D tossed her contemptuous chin, and expressed scorn in divers significant ways. "I should want to conceal a little, if I was in your place," she remarked, cuttingly. "Truth is truth; it can harm only those who are in error," said Pendlam. "It certainly hasn't done you a very great amount of good." Another toss of the contemptuous chin.
Muttering threats, the man returned to the saloon, amid the laughs and acclamations of his constituents. Pendlam followed impulsively, and left the tract within. He then returned to us. Up to this time, he had appeared exalted and firm; but now there came a reaction; his voice forsook him, he trembled violently, and we were obliged to give him the support of our arms.
I welcome his visits to my house; for I consider his magnetism highly beneficial to Susan." "Then, by all the gods at once, you wrong me!" I said. "If that man's magnetism is what she needs, to suppose that mine is, also, is an insult. I lose patience with you, O most free Disciple!" "I see," replied Pendlam, with a smile, "you have not yet reached the plane of perfect freedom.
Upon one shoulder was sewed the semblance of a door cut out of blue cloth; on the other, a crescent cut out of green. Upon the head was set a tinsel crown, amid tangles of disordered hair. Above was a huge brass key, suspended by a tow string from the ceiling. I spoke. The figure started, and looked up. In the sallow cheeks, untrimmed beard, sunken and encircled eyes, I recognized Pendlam.
