What right has James Martineau to call himself a Christian? When he denies Christ the Lord who bought him! And makes no secret of it. How can you respect an infidel who uses Christ's name to cover up his blasphemy?" Aunt Lavvy was smiling now. "I thought you said he made no secret of it?" Mamma said, "You know very well what I mean." "If you knew Dr. Martineau "
I've got all there is. When everything's taken away, then God's there." "If he's there, he's there anyhow." "Until everything's taken away there isn't room to see that he's there." When Catty came in with the lamp Aunt Lavvy went out quickly. Mary got up and stretched herself. The pain had left off hammering. She could think.
The Irrepressible lowered her eyes to Bella's dress, and stooped to look at it, exclaiming again: 'Why, Bella! 'Yes, Lavvy, I know what I have got on. I was going to tell Ma when you interrupted. I have left Mr Boffin's house for good, Ma, and I have come home again.
"Aunt Lavvy, if you loved somebody and you found out that their religion wasn't true, would you tell them or wouldn't you?" "It would depend on whether they were happy in their religion or not." "Supposing you'd found out one that was more true and much more beautiful, and you thought it would make them happier?" Aunt Lavvy raised her long, stubborn chin.
She decided that she would tell her mother. Mark was in the Royal Field Artillery now. He was away at Shoeburyness. If she put it off till he came home again she might never do it. When Mamma had Mark with her she would never listen to anything you had to say. Next Sunday was Epiphany. Sunday afternoon would be a good time. But Aunt Lavvy came to stay from Saturday to Monday. And it rained.
I am afraid you find your old room with Lavvy, dreadfully inconvenient, Bella? 'No I don't, Pa; I don't mind. Why don't I mind, do you think, Pa? 'Well, my child, you used to complain of it when it wasn't such a contrast as it must be now. Upon my word, I can only answer, because you are so much improved. 'No, Pa. Because I am so thankful and so happy!
"Your Grandmamma made us promise never to send her away as long as it was possible to keep her. That's why your Uncle Victor never married." "And all the time Aunt Charlotte would have been better and happier with Dr. Draper. Aunt Lavvy t's too horrible." "It wasn't as bad as you think. Your Uncle Victor couldn't have married in any case." "Didn't he love anybody?"
'Why, Lor, Ma, interposed Lavvy the bold, 'isn't it the day that made you and Pa one and the same? I have no patience! 'By whatever other circumstance the day may be marked, it is not the day, Lavinia, on which I will allow a child of mine to pounce upon me. I beg nay, command! that you will not pounce. R. W., it is appropriate to recall that it is for you to command and for me to obey.
His eyes, turned up, staring at Effie, showed half circles of blood-shot white. His face was flushed. A queer, leaden grey flush. Aunt Lavvy sat beside him. She had her hand on his arm, to keep him quiet there in his corner. "Mark what's the matter with Dan?" One two three. One two three. Something bumped against the glass door of the cabinet. A light tinkling crash of a broken pane.
'And I won't, said John, with a very expressive look of admiration around him, 'speak a word now! She laid her laughing cheek upon his breast to thank him, and said, looking at the rest of them sideways out of her bright eyes: 'I'll go further, Pa and Ma and Lavvy. John don't suspect it he has no idea of it but I quite love him!
