In appearance he was like any of his kind, with a countryman's face, in a working-dress: she might have seen him by chance a hundred times and not known him again. But his manner was remarkable, so wholly simple and well-bred: he was courteous always, as suited his degree; but he had something of the same assurance that she had noticed so plainly in Father Campion.
Another important point is this: whereas the church composers took a few Latin sentences and made no endeavour to treat them so as to make sense in the singing, but made the words wait upon the musical phrases, in Dr. Campion we see the first clear wish to weld music and poem into one flawless whole.
In our study we have noted the Transition Poets, of whom Daniel is chief; the Song Writers, Campion and Breton; the Spenserian Poets, Wither and Giles Fletcher; the Metaphysical Poets, Donne and Herbert; the Cavalier Poets, Herrick, Carew, Lovelace, and Suckling; John Milton, his life, his early or Horton poems, his militant prose, and his last great poetical works; John Bunyan, his extraordinary life, and his chief work, The Pilgrim's Progress; the Minor Prose Writers, Burton, Browne, Fuller, Taylor, Baxter, and Walton.
She spoke to Miss Campion but her slightly mocking eyes watched for some change upon the face of her young hostess. Desire, as usual, was serene. "Mary thinks we are all heathens not to have a car," said Benis. "When are you going to choose yours, Desire?" "Not at all, I think," said Desire. Men, even clever men, are like that. The professor had seen no possible sting in his idly spoken words.
"I noticed her most particularly and critically for someone whispered her name behind me and coupled it with the exceedingly interesting information that Miss Campion was supposed to be the future Mrs. Eric Marshall. Whereupon I stared at her with all my eyes." "There is no truth in that report," said Eric in a tone of annoyance. "Agnes and I are the best of friends and nothing more.
Campion entreated his opponents to leave such minor questions alone, and to come to doctrinal matters; but they preferred to keep to details rather than to principles, and the priest had scarcely any opportunity to state his positive position at all. The only doctrinal matter seriously touched upon was that of Justification by Faith; and texts were flung to and fro without any great result.
Campion, walking through the gardens alone with Lady Glenalvon while from the gardens into the park went Chillingly Gordon, arm-in-arm with Leopold Travers, abruptly asked, "Don't you think that Mr. Gordon is smitten with Cecilia, though he, with his moderate fortune, does not dare to say so?
There was that Walcott affair, too, which had lately come to Sir John's ears, a very awkward affair for Campion to have his sister's name mixed up in. Probably that was the reason why he was holding back. Very nice of Campion, very nice. And Sir John became doubly cordial in his manner, and pressed Sydney to dine with him next week. With some reluctance, Sydney accepted the invitation.
She would not talk about his doings; she would go out if she thought that he was likely to call. Sir John could not understand it. And Campion seemed shy of coming to the house in Eaton Square when the Pynsents returned to town; he was pleasant enough with Sir John at the Club, but he did not appear to wish for much social intercourse with Sir John's wife and sister.
Goode and Fulke on the one side, and Campion on the other, respectively attacked and defended the Doctrine of the Visible Church; for this, for Anthony, was one of the crucial points of the dispute between Catholicism and Protestantism.
