"It shall not be carried out of the church, but the priest and such others of the communicants as he shall call unto him shall, immediately after the blessing, reverently eat and drink the same." In the mind of the Rev. Samuel, Mr. Windle was that other communicant. "What shall I do?" he began, directly the devout warden entered. Mr. Windle was beaming with good nature.
"What a charming man his lordship is." "You know him?" asked Mr. Windle in surprise. "Well slightly." "He is doing us the honour of dining with us to-day after morning service. We always dine in the middle of the day on Sundays only Sundays, of course." "Indeed?" said the Rev. Samuel, in reference to the first part of Mr. Windle's sentence. "My wife and I will be pleased if you will come." Mr.
"I I only wanted to make sure," he added; "it is apt to make one somewhat apprehensive, when one is officiating in a strange church apprehensive, if you understand what I mean, of any hitch in the service." "Quite so," said Mr. Windle, sympathetically. He extracted a small, white, potash throat lozenge from the pocket of his waistcoat, and placed it on his tongue.
In so far as we were led by anyone, Mr. Clancy, fulfilling in public what he had privately spoken, was our leader and spokesman. We were along with the Southern Unionists and our natural allies, Lords Granard and MacDonnell and Sir Bertram Windle. Archbishop Bernard and Dr.
What was the meaning of it? Why had Mr. Windle told him sixty, or more, when scarcely twenty attended? He stood waiting in the vestry afterwards with the well-filled chalice in his hand, tremulously anticipating Mr. Windle's arrival. His face was twitching spasmodically. The unseen fingers were busy. They never left him alone.
So, at any rate, it seemed to him. For Cotherstone's mind was essentially a worldly one, and it was beyond him to believe that an ambitious young man like Windle Bent would care to ally himself with the daughter of an ex-convict. Bent would have the best of excuses for breaking off all relations with the Cotherstone family if the unpleasant truth came out.
The party had been strong enough to hold South Fox for the best part of the last twenty years on the old principles, and this British boot-licking feature wasn't going to do it any good. It was fool politics in the opinion of Mr Young and Mr Windle. Then remained the retail trades, the professions, and the farmers.
Windle been so narrow-minded about his foolish pledge of total abstinence? How foolish some good people were! How bigoted! He felt assured that Mr. Windle was a good man; but again, there was no doubt about his being narrow-minded. Ah, why did he not send some one! Mr. Bishop walked to the door of the vestry that opened on to the little country lane. He looked out.
But to the experts concerned it speedily became apparent that the alliance with Champion Windle Hercules must be indefinitely postponed. Lady Desdemona would have none of him. It seemed she knew her own mind very well, was perfectly calm and content, but quite determined in her opposition to any hint of matrimonial pourparlers with the admitted champion of her race.
You will send two good men, they will be taken charge of by Treasurer Higgins of this lodge, whose address you know. He will show them when to act and where. Yours in freedom, "Windle has never refused us when we have had occasion to ask for the loan of a man or two, and it is not for us to refuse him." McGinty paused and looked round the room with his dull, malevolent eyes.
