She had seen his efforts at self-control. She knew his agony of soul. She knew that at any moment he might knock somebody down Tillotson or Tillotson's sponsor. And it would all be in the morning papers. There would be innuendo the hint of scandalous things. And O-liver's reputation would pay the price. It was characteristic that she did not at the moment think of her own reputation.
'I should scarcely have regretted my journey, had it afforded nothing more than the sight of Aberbrothick. Works, ix. 9. Nay, no man has so much, for we have only the evidence of one sense that these words are in the Bible, but that the bread is not changed we have the concurring testimony of several of our senses. This also is Tillotson's argument.
He told Thwackum, that his great concern on this occasion brought to his mind the story of a very devout woman, who, out of pure regard to religion, stole Tillotson's Sermons from a lady of her acquaintance.
There was formerly sent to me by Mr. Locker, clerk of the Leathersellers Company, who was eminent for curiosity and literature, a collection of examples selected from Tillotson's works, as Locker said, by Addison. It came too late to be of use, so I inspected it but slightly, and remember it indistinctly. I thought the passages too short.
And if the company had little money, it had less credit. Once when Vail had ordered a small bill of goods from a merchant named Tillotson, of 15 Dey Street, New York, the merchant replied that the goods were ready, and so was the bill, which was seven dollars. By a strange coincidence, the magnificent building of the New York Telephone Company stands to-day on the site of Tillotson's store.
He was not a man of fashion who wanted one of them in his pocket, or could draw it out at the coffee-house. In certain drawing-rooms, too, where prudery was not the fault, there were many fashionable ladies who would pass from the scandal and gossip of the day to applaud Tillotson's sermon in a sense which would have made him shudder.
Dryden considered that he was indebted for his good style to the study of Tillotson's sermons. Robert Nelson spoke of them as the best standard of the English language. Addison expressed the same opinion, and thought his writing would form a proper groundwork for the dictionary which he once thought of compiling.
She saw O-liver start from his chair and sink back, helpless against the insidiousness of this attack. The speaker went on. It would seem, he said, from what he could learn, that Tillotson's honorable opponent was sailing under false colors. He was a married man. He had deserted his wife. He sat among them as a saint, when he was really a sinner. "A sinner, gentlemen."
That same night the barn took fire over them. The first thing that excited the alarm of my master's negroes on Tillotson's plantation was a black smoke issuing from the barn.
Just before the appointed hour of eleven, Caterina came down into the drawing-room, looking so unusually ill as to call forth an anxious inquiry from Lady Cheverel, who, on learning that she had a severe headache, insisted that she should not attend service, and at once packed her up comfortably on a sofa near the fire, putting a volume of Tillotson's Sermons into her hands as appropriate reading, if Caterina should feel equal to that means of edification.
