For suddenly Raeburn's expression changed; the over-strenuous, harassed look, which of late had somewhat taken the place of his old philosopher's quiet, reappeared. "I did not tell you, Hallin," he began, in a low voice, raising his eyes to his friend, "that I had seen her again." Hallin paused a moment. Then he said: "No.
She took a piece of paper from Miss Raeburn's desk, and wrote on it: "Will you read this and Lord Maxwell before I come down? I forgot that you had not seen it. A ring at the bell brought the maid. "Will you please get this taken to Mr. Raeburn? And then, don't disturb me again for half an hour." And for that time she lay in Miss Raeburn's favourite chair, outwardly at rest.
Though not without a strong vein of sarcasm, Raeburn's speech was, on the whole, temperate; it certainly should have been met with consideration. But, unfortunately, Mr.
But when he had gone, the quarrel was forgotten altogether; they forgot differences of creed in a great mutual anxiety. Raeburn's manner had been so unnatural, he had been so unlike himself, that in their trouble about it they entirely passed over the original cause of his anger. Aunt Jean was as much relieved as any one when before long he opened his door and called for Erica.
One evening they were all present at a meeting at the East End at which Donovan Farrant was also speaking. Raeburn's voice had somewhat recovered, and he was speaking with great force and fluency when, all at once in the middle of a sentence, he came to a dead pause.
One thing only was clear to him that to dogmatise about any subject under heaven, at the present day, more than the immediate practical occasion absolutely demanded, was the act of an idiot. So that Aldous Raeburn's moments of reflection had been constantly mixed with struggle of different kinds.
No woman, of course, in Miss Raeburn's position, and with Miss Raeburn's general interest in her kind, could have been ignorant for any appreciable number of days after the Boyces' arrival at Mellor that they possessed a handsome daughter, of whom the Hardens in particular gave striking but, as Miss Raeburn privately thought, by no means wholly attractive accounts.
Melt my coldness with Thy burning charity, and if it be possible make me fit to be Luke Raeburn's friend." While he still stood by the window a visitor was announced. He had been too much absorbed to catch the name, but it seemed the most natural thing that on turning round he should find himself face to face with the prophet of atheism.
With a view of warning the public and inducing them to help him in crushing the false doctrine he abhorred, he had tried to stimulate them by publishing a sketch of Raeburn's personal character and life, drawn chiefly from his imagination, or from distorted and misquoted anecdotes which had for years been bandied about among his opponents, losing nothing in the process.
Her father, she remembered, had dubbed him an "Anarchist" in connection with the terms he had been able to secure for the Nottingham strikers, as reported in the newspapers. It astonished her to come across the man again as Mr. Raeburn's friend. They talked about Hallin a little, and about Aldous's Cambridge acquaintance with him.
