Toland used several arguments from Locke's essay in support of his position that there was nothing in Christianity contrary to reason or above it. Bishop Stillingfleet, in his 'Defence of the Mysteries of the Trinity, maintained that these arguments of Toland's were legitimate deductions from Locke's premisses.
She selected a flannelette nightgown from a deep drawer marked: "Nightgowns and petticoats Women's." She assured Miss Toland that she could buy a toothbrush the next day, and when the older woman asked her how she liked her bath in the morning, Julia said very staidly: "Warm, thank you." "Warm? Well, so do I," said Miss Toland's approving voice from the next room. "This business of ice-cold baths!
And she sat down at the little Mission table, and flung her arms out before her, her face tired and wretched, her blue eyes dark with pain. Miss Toland's face, from showing mere indulgent interest, took on a sharper look. She was a quick-witted woman, and this chanced to touch her in a sensitive spot. "As for a lady, ladies are made and not born," she said decidedly. "Don't ever let them fool you.
Locke was tutor to his father, for whom he had been commissioned to choose a wife; and the author of 'The Characteristics' was brought up according to Locke's principles. Both Toland's and Tindal's views about reason show them to have been followers of Locke's system; while traces of Locke's influence are constantly found in Lord Bolingbroke's philosophical works.
It is difficult now to understand the extreme excitement caused by Toland's book, seeing that it was evidently written in the interests of Christianity, and would now be read without emotion by the most orthodox. "The Christians," he says, "were careful to remove all obstacles lying in the way of the Gentiles.
The pleasant winter sunlight was streaming into the older woman's room when Julia came in the next morning, although all San Francisco echoed to the sombre constant call of the foghorn, and the air was cool enough to make Miss Toland's fire delightful.
The suspension bridge had been ruined in Lightburn's retreat, and the enemy had depended upon a bridge of boats for communication with their troops in the lower valley. The column crossed the Elk late in the afternoon of the 30th, and I pushed Toland's and Carter's brigades to Malden and Camp Piatt that evening, Siber's brigade advancing to Brownstown on the other side of the Kanawha River.
Not to-day not to-morrow, perhaps, but some time, when you can, forgive him! He's changed; he's not what he used to be " Tears were in Julia's eyes now; she slipped to her knees beside Mrs. Toland's chair, and they cried a little together. "I came to see him," whispered Julia. "Where is he?" "He came in about fifteen minutes ago. He's packing. You know his room "
She thought of New York, of the great unknown ocean, of London London to Julia meant fog, hansom cabs, and crossings that must be swept. It was not, she felt, with a certain baffled resentment, what she wanted to do. London was full of Miss Toland's friends, and Julia was too sick in spirit to wish to meet them now. To be alone to be alone to be alone some gasping inner spirit prayed continually.
She sat beside Julia in the dark for a long time, patting her hand without speaking. After a while Ellie brought a glass of hot milk, and Julia docilely drank it, and submitted to being put to bed, raising a face as sweet as a child's for Miss Toland's good-night kiss, and promising to sleep well.
