Remind the Reverend Fathers, with my respects, that I possess one of the valuable qualities of an Englishman I never know when I am beaten. MORE than six weeks had passed. The wedded lovers were still enjoying their honeymoon at Vange Abbey. Some offense had been given, not only to Mrs.
Knowing your strict sense of honor, my son, and your admirable tenderness of conscience, I wish you to be satisfied of the title of the Church to the lands of Vange, by evidence which is beyond dispute." With this little preface, he waited while Penrose read the title-deeds. "Any doubt on your mind?" he asked, when the reading had come to an end. "Not the shadow of a doubt."
Of course, you have all heard the sacred name of Ralph Jacobus, but it is news to you that he was brought to his death by the first Vanderwater, whose name was Vange. I know. I have read it in the books. There are many interesting things like that in the books. And after Ralph Jacobus died his shameful death, Bill Vange's name began the many changes it was to undergo.
Dull as the place is, you can amuse yourself. There is good shooting, as you know." In an hour more we had left London. VANGE ABBEY is, I suppose, the most solitary country house in England. If Romayne wanted quiet, it was exactly the place for him.
Before post-time, on the same day, Father Benwell wrote his last report to the Secretary of the Society of Jesus, in these lines: "Romayne is free from the domestic ties that bound him. He leaves it to me to restore Vange Abbey to the Church; and he acknowledges a vocation for the priesthood. Expect us at Rome in a fortnight's time." Beaupark House, June 17th, 18 .

We leave Vange Abbey to-morrow." These were wild words. If he had spoken them wildly, I might have shared the butler's conclusion that his mind was deranged.
I can make most people like me, when I choose to try. The master of Vange Abbey is no exception to the rule. Did I tell you, by-the-by, that the property has a little declined of late in value? It is now not worth more than six thousand a year. We will improve it when it returns to the Church. My interview with Penrose was over in two minutes.
And if you will but study with me, in a year's time you can read those books for yourselves ay, in six months some of you will be able to read those books for yourselves. Bloody Vange lived to a ripe old age, and always, to the last, was he received in the councils of the masters; but never was he made a master himself.
