Under the circumstances, she could hardly remain here." "The circumstances ?" "Lady Ogram's will does not mention her." Lashmar felt a spasm in his breast. The expression of his features was so very significant that Mrs. Toplady's smile threatened to become a laugh. "It's rather startling, isn't it?" she continued. "The will was made t year ago. Lady Ogram didn't mean it to stand.
For she disliked Miss Bride, and she knew the sentiment was mutual. Seeing the situation in the new light shed by Mrs. Toplady's ingenious conjectures, her sense of injury was mitigated; the indignant feeling that remained she directed chiefly against Lady Ogram, who seemed inclined to dispose of her in such a summary way.
Parliament, I take it, is the best means. Considering the nature of the average elector, I don't think one need worry about the method one pursues to get elected. I won't tell lies; that goes against the grain with me. But I must be practical." Constance watched him, and seemed to weigh his remarks. "As for twaddle," she said, "I shouldn't advise much of it in Mrs. Toplady's hearing."
But Tomline is as much superior to Fletcher as he is inferior to Waterland. If Fletcher was pre-eminently the best writer in this controversy on the Arminian side, it is no less obvious that the palm must be awarded to Toplady on the Calvinist side. Before we say anything about Toplady's writings, let it be remembered that his pen does not do justice to his character.

"What have you to tell us?" "Little of interest, I'm afraid except that I have lunched to-day with Lady Ogram and made the acquaintance of her niece."
Not the less, I made my somewhat remarkable proposal with some show of assurance, and I should have counted on Mis' Toplady's sympathy, which ripens at less than a sigh. In Friendship you but mention a possible charity, visit, or new church carpet, and the enthusiasm will react on the possibility, and the thing be done.
That Bunyan believed, as Toplady did, the salvation of all that die in infancy by the atonement of Christ, there can be no doubt. 'In my remarks on Dr. Rowell, I testified my firm belief that the souls of all departed infants are with God in glory. See the Introduction to Toplady's Historic Proof. Ed.
Toplady's favour would be likely to manifest itself in any still more practical way; but of this his reflection offered him no assurance. The probability was that in Lady Ogram lay his only reasonable hope.
Woolstan had used discretion concerning him, Dyce could not become at ease under that restless look: he felt himself gauged and registered, though with what result was by no means discernible in Mrs. Toplady's countenance. Those eyes of hers must have gauged a vast variety of men; her forehead told of experience and meditation thereon.
