I think mebbe the Lord meant the men to be the Moseses." Mis' Amanda Toplady's voice rolled out, deep and comfortable, like a complaisant giant's. "Well said!" she remarked. "I'm drove to death all day. If anybody's to ask me what I got in my hand, I declare I guess I'd say, rill reverent: Dear Lord, I've got my hands full, an' that's about all I have got."
Toplady's description; an idealist of a mild type, whose favourite talk was of "altruism," and who, whilst affecting close attention to what other people said, was always absorbed in his own thoughts. Before Lashmar had been many minutes in the drawing-room, there entered Mrs. Woolstan, and she soon found an occasion for brief exchange of words with him. "Why haven't you been to see me yet?"
Dyce exclaimed: "What an extraordinary thing! Dymchurch, who never went anywhere, seems all at once to be living in the thick of the world. The other day, I found him at Mrs. Toplady's, drinking tea. Was it there he came to know Lady Ogram?" "Yes." Constance smiled. "Lady Ogram, you remember, much wished to meet him." "And he dines here? I can't understand it."
If it were worth while, I could point out most important differences between the bio-sociological theory as matured by me and its crude presentment in that book you have got hold of. By the bye, how did it come into your hands?" After an instant's reflection, Constance told him of Mrs. Toplady's letter and the American magazine. "And," he asked, "does Mrs.
In his very Introduction Fletcher refuses to have anything to say to the personal charges vindictively hurled by his opponent: "These charges," he writes, "being chiefly founded upon Mr. Toplady's logical mistakes, they will, of their own accord, fall to the ground as soon as the mistakes on which they rest shall be exposed. May the God of truth and love grant that if Mr.
Before coming to London, it would have been impossible for her to phrase a thought thus, and so utter it. That easy superciliousness smacked not at all of provincial breeding. "On the whole, I think so," was Mrs. Toplady's modulated reply. "He has very striking ideas. How odd that somebody else should have hit upon his theory of civilisation! He ought to have written a book, as I told him."
Vivian returned with as good a grace as he could; and, to find means of breaking the embarrassing silence that ensued, took up a book which lay upon the table, "Toplady's Sermons" no hope of assistance from that: he had recourse to another equally unlucky, "Wesley's Diary:" another "The Pilgrim's Progress."
Toplady's Works: Sermon on James ii. 18. 'Si sic omnia'! All this is just and forcible; and surely nothing can be easier than to confute the Methodist by shewing that his very 'no-doing', when he comes to explain it, is not only an act, a work, but even a very severe and perseverant energy of the will. He is therefore to be arraigned of nonsense and abuse of words rather than of immoral doctrines.
After dinner, Dyce received from her his cue for drawing-room oratory; he was led into large discourse, and Mrs. Toplady's eyes beamed the most intelligent sympathy. None the less did roguery still lurk at the corner of her lips, so that from time to time the philosopher fidgeted a little, and asked himself uneasily what that smile meant.
Two views of this meeting-house, an exterior and interior, after its conversion into a workshop, are given in the Plate facing page i. of this Memoir. In the interior, part of the beams and pillars that supported the gallery still remain. Toplady's Works, vol. iv., p. 463. Vol. iii., p. 637. One of his anecdotes is remarkable, as exhibiting the state of medical knowledge in his neighbourhood.
