She was made welcome by all her particular friends who killed the "potted" calf, as Edith called it, in honor of the prodigal's return. And Judy was well content with herself and all the world. A hair-dresser in Wellington had, by some mysterious process, restored her hair to very nearly its natural shade.
He had asked her what she had wanted with Gorst, and it seemed that what Maggie wanted was "to help him." He said to himself that he wouldn't be in Gorst's place for a good deal, to have that on his conscience. As it happened, the prodigal's conscience was by no means easy. He called in Prior Street that evening to learn the result of his friend's intervention.
Wretchedness and degradation Clothes, credit, and reputation all lost The prodigal's return to his father's house Familiar scenes The beauty of nature My lack of feeling A wild horse I ride him to Raleigh and get drunk A mixture of vile poison My ride and fall The broken stirrups My father's search I get home once more Depart the same day on the wild horse A week at Lewisville Sick Yearnings for sympathy.
"O God!" sighed the old man, turning his face hopelessly to the wall, "Whither are we drifting?" He hardly heard the prodigal's farewell. "If you wish to speak with me, stay here until I return." This Sergius said when the two passed out of the cell.
But this programme was not to be begun before evening not till just before dinner, indeed, at which meal the reassembled family were to sit roseate, and the best wine, the modern fatted calf, should flow for the prodigal's return. Meanwhile he walked familiar streets, merry reminiscences crowding round him, sad ones also, both with the same surprising pathos.
This was another one of the Prodigal's assumptions but never before put so pointedly. "So I have feared that when I myself told you what I believe and what I do not believe, it might be the end of me. And when you learned my feelings toward what YOU believe that might be more troublesome still. But the time has come when I must know."
"Six weeks later I sets Pinky down on the beach at Nonuti, an' we both go up to her old man's shack for the parental blessin'. I expected Poui-Slam-Bang would slaughter th' roasted hog upon th' prodigal's return, but come t' find out, the old boy's been took in a scrap with one o' the hill tribes, an' speculation's rife as to his final disposition.
After an instant he added, with a carelessness as much assumed as natural: "You may ring the bell, and tell Falby to come to my room. And because I am to appear at the flare-up to-night all in honour of the prodigal's son this matter is between us, and we meet as loving relatives. You understand my motives, Gaston Robert Belward?" "Thoroughly."
Then instinct told him that on occasion Tommy would be loyal to the death. This was evidenced by the fact that Tommy once savagely fought a visiting boy who threw a stone into his box. Again, when enticed by the wanderlust of spring, he was gone three days, it was Tommy who, like the prodigal's father, spied him from afar and came running down the lane to welcome him eagerly home.
Jonah did not want it to escape. If he had been sent to destroy it, he would probably have gone gladly. He grudged that heathen should share Israel's privileges, and probably thought that gain to Nineveh would be loss to Israel. It was exactly the spirit of the prodigal's elder brother.
