Tenterden. "I could never listen Sunday after Sunday to Mr. Garraway. I think him excessively tedious. And his voice is so very trying." The incumbent of St. Luke's offered a brief diversion from the main theme. A mention of the Rev. Scatchard Vialls threatened to lead them too far, and Mrs. Roach interposed with firmness.
"Certainly many of them are," conceded Glazzard. "Lamentable," sighed the Mayor, raising his glass, "to think that quite a large number of his books have been put into the Institute library! We must use our influence on all hands, Mr. Vialls. We live in sad times. Even the theatre I am told that some of the plays produced in London are disgraceful, simply disgraceful!"
Vialls shook his head and smiled with grim sadness. "My dear young lady, I fear we shall not understand each other. I am far from being one of those who deny to ladies the logical faculty, but" "But you feel that I am right, and that party prejudice has carried you too far!" interrupted Serena, rising from her chair.
He encourages Serena in her shameful behaviour! I overheard him talking to her." "You are altogether wrong, as usual," replied Mr. Mumbray, with his wonted attempt at dignified self-assertion. "Glazzard distinctly disapproves of Bawlzac, and everything of that kind. His influence is as irreproachable as that of Mr. Vialls." "Of course!
This is simply abominable If an honourable man has one duty one social duty more incumbent upon him than another, it is to refrain from setting an example of intemperance." Serena had listened thus far with a look of growing irritation. At length she could resist no longer the impulse to speak out. "But surely, Mr. Vialls, you don't charge Mr. Quarrier with intemperance?"
Lester," broke in the grave voice of the clergyman, "I trust you will pardon me, but you have inadvertently made use of a phrase which is, or should be, consecrated by a religious significance." The lady apologized rather curtly, and Mr. Vialls made a stiff bow. At this same moment the subject of their conversation was returning home from a bold expedition into the camp of the enemy.
Vialls took for his text, "But rather seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you." He began by pointing out how very improper it would be for a clergyman to make the pulpit an ally of the hustings; far indeed be it from him to discourse in that place of party questions to speak one word which should have for its motive the advancements of any electioneering cause.
On April 28th the force turned south, and on May 4th they had reached the railroad at Eerstefabrieken close to Pretoria. They had come in touch with a small Boer force upon the way, and the indefatigable Vialls hounded them for eighty miles, and tore away the tail of their convoy with thirty prisoners.
A hundred of the Boksburg commando surrendered en masse, fifty more were taken at Roos-Senekal; forty-one of the formidable Zarps with Schroeder, their leader, were captured in the north by the gallantry and wit of a young Australian officer named Reid; sixty more were hunted down by the indefatigable Vialls, leader of the Bushmen.
Take care that you're not late." "Who's coming?" asked the young man, without looking up. "Mr. Eustace Glazzard and Miss Glazzard." "Any one else?" "Mr. Vialls." "Then you don't catch me here! I have an appointment at eight." "I insist upon your dining with us! If you are not at dinner, I will have your allowance stopped! I mean what I say.
