Think, if the Apostles had waited to collect subscriptions for a church before they spoke to the poor heathens, where should we have been now? Lancelot could not but agree. But at that moment a footman came up, and, with a face half laughing, half terrified, said, 'Tregarva, master wants you in the study.
I know you have a kind heart, and they tell me that you are a great scholar, which would to God I was! so you ought not to condescend to take my word for anything which you can look into yourself; with which sound piece of common-sense Tregarva returned busily to his eel-lines.
At this moment Lancelot was summoned downstairs, and found, to his great pleasure, Tregarva waiting for him. That worthy personage bowed to Lancelot reverently and distantly. 'I am quite ashamed to intrude myself upon you, sir, but I could not rest without coming to ask whether you have had any news. He broke down at this point in the sentence, but Lancelot understood him.
The squire, bursting with passion, sprang up with a terrible oath, turned deadly pale, staggered, and dropped senseless on the floor. They all rushed to lift him up. Tregarva was the first to take him in his arms and place him tenderly in his chair, where he lay back with glassy eyes, snoring heavily in a fit of apoplexy.
'I'm glad you do, sir, for I don't, meekly answered Tregarva. 'But the vicar, sir, he is a kind man, and a good; but the poor don't understand him, nor he them. He is too learned, sir, and, saving your presence, too fond of his prayer-book. 'One can't be too fond of a good thing.
'That Tim Goddard stole all my clothes, and no good may they do him; last time as I went to gaol I gave them him to kep, and he went off for a navvy meantime; so there I am. 'If you will play with the dogs, quoth Tregarva, 'you know what you will be bit by. Haven't I warned you? Of course you won't prosper: as you make your bed, so you must lie in it.
Tregarva does not possess his Father and his Lord; he is possessed by them. 'But he would say and I should believe him that he has seen and known them, not with his bodily eyes, but with his soul, heart, imagination call it what you will. All I know is, that between him and me there is a great gulf fixed. 'What! seen and known them utterly? comprehended them?
If social conditions are indeed a barrier, let them be treated with a sort of noble shame, as the love of the keeper Tregarva for the squire's daughter Honoria is treated in Yeast; let them not be fastidiously ignored over the tea-cups at the Hall.
The old fox was fishing for an assent, not for its own sake, for he was a fierce Tory, and would have stood up to be shot at any day, not only for his master's sake, but for the sake of a single pheasant of his master's; but he hated Tregarva for many reasons, and was daily on the watch to entrap him on some of his peculiar points, whereof he had, as we shall find, a good many.
If it was these poor half-starved labourers, that snare the same hares that have been eating up their garden-stuff all the week, I can't touch them, sir, and that's truth; but these ruffians And yet, sir, wouldn't it be better for the parsons to preach to them, than for the keepers to break their heads? 'Oh? said Lancelot, 'the parsons say all to them that they can. Tregarva shook his head.
