Truly, in his case the most seraphic Saintliness was not forfeited, and we who read his books may well bless God it was so. And then, experimentally also, what extremes met in our author! Pascal in Paris and Rutherford in Anwoth and St. Andrews were at the very opposite poles ecclesiastically from one another.
For in the past, monks of very holy life had died, God-fearing old men, whose saintliness was acknowledged by all, yet from their humble coffins, too, the breath of corruption had come, naturally, as from all dead bodies, but that had caused no scandal nor even the slightest excitement.
At the book's end Sir Archie, still clinging to his belief in money-power, still trying to use her saintliness to save his own soul, says he will erect a grand monument to her memory. He believes that if he leaves her body in Marstand she will have only a pauper's grave and be soon forgotten. An exactly opposite event occurs.
"Most worshipful Knight," said the old man, with deference, "our Lord Bishop's mandate supersedes all rules. Were it not so, it would be my duty to clear the crypt before Vespers. See you that stairway yonder, beneath the arch? Not many minutes hence, up those steps will pass the holy nuns from the Convent of the White Ladies at Whytstone noble ladies all, and of great repute for saintliness.
Saintliness does not set well upon you, madam. Your clothes are ill-fitting already. Of your two champions " And here I realized that I was standing out, one foot advanced, my fists foolishly doubled, my presence a useless factor.

Or do you think that India, whose history is a history of saints, is anxious to accept German materialistic science, individual philosophy, and a destructive and shallow theology? No, they expect from Europe more saintliness than they have had in their history. And that is just very difficult for Europe to give them.

For where could they have found a safer place in the whole wide world for their ghastly traffic and perverted powers than here, in the very precincts under cover of the very shadow of saintliness and holy living?"
From the sanctuary of pure reason he drew forth the moral law, unknown then, and yet, in another way, so known; he made it appear in all its saintliness before a degraded century, and troubled himself little to know whether there were eyes too enfeebled to bear the brightness. But what had the children of the house done for him to have occupied himself only with the valets?
"And how, good father?" I asked him; "sure I have caught none of her saintliness." "A saint I do not call you, but I scarce call you a Scot. For you are a clerk." "The Maid taught me none of my clergy, father, nor have I taught her any of mine." "She needs it not. But you are peaceful and gentle; you brawl not, nor drink, nor curse . . . "
Says the first, "These social movements are becoming quite worth while!" "Yes, indeed," says the other. "One meets such good society!" Sylvia's part in this adventure was a nobler one than mine, Seated as I was in a regal motor-car, and in company with one favoured of all the gods in the world, I must have had an intense conviction of my own saintliness not to distrust my excitement.
