I should have said Hopeful any other day, but this morning you look like let me see like Mr Ready-to-Halt. The celestial city lies behind that fog doesn't it, Christiana? 'I don't like to hear you talk so, Charley, said his sister, smiling in his face. 'They ain't in the Bible, he returned.
Ready-to-Halt must have been the most exasperating pilgrim that Great Heart ever dragged over the road to the Celestial City. Mr. Feeble Mind was bad enough; but genuine weakness and organic incapacity appeal all the while to charity and sympathy. If people really cannot walk, they must be carried. Everybody sees that; and all strong people are, or ought to be, ready to lift babies and cripples.
Now, Christiana, if need was, could play upon the viol, and her daughter Mercy upon the lute; and, since they were so merry disposed, she played them a lesson, and Mr. Ready-to-halt would dance. So he paid a boy a penny to hold one of his crutches, and, taking Miss Much-afraid by the hand, to dancing they went.
"I shall," he said, "I shall." Be fore-assured, also, of a reception like that. In process of time there came a post to the town again, and his business was this time with Mr. Ready-to-halt. So he inquired him out and said to him, "I am come to thee in the name of Him whom thou hast loved and followed, though upon crutches.
Ready-to-halt called for his fellow-pilgrims, and told them, saying, I am sent for, and God shall surely visit you also. So he desired Mr.
And then she gave Mr. Standfast her ring. "Behold," she said, as Mr. Honest came in "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" Then Mr. Ready-to-halt came in, and then Mr. Despondency and his daughter Much-afraid, and then Mr. Feeble-mind. Now the day drew on that Christiana must be gone. So the road was full of people to see her take her journey.
Ready-to-Halt did Miss Much-afraid when he footed it so well with her on his crutches in the dance on the occasion of Giant Despair's overthrow. I have thus far dined alternately with mother and Aunt Susan, not having yet been admitted to Aunt Nabby's establishment.
And, one glorious day, while thou art still returning to thy task, it shall suddenly sound in thy dutiful ears: "Well done! good and faithful servant!" And then thou too "Shalt hang thy trumpet in the hall And study war no more." "For I am ready to halt." David. Mr. Ready-to-halt is the Mephibosheth of the pilgrimage.
'It is throwing oil on the fire. I was trying to forget it. He neither knows my uncle nor the circumstances. 'Well, I am glad there is a point on which you can't even pretend to stand up for him, or I should have thought you crazed with Quixotism. But I am keeping you when you want to be off to Amy. Never mind Mr. Ready-to-halt; I shall wait till my father comes back.
Ready-to-halt, then, is a man of God; but he is one of those men of God who have no godliness within themselves. He has no inward graces. He has no past experiences. He has no attainments that he can for one safe moment take his stand upon, or even partly lean upon. Mr. Ready-to-halt is absolutely and always dependent upon the promises.
