more or less and to the is adored by a girl who has coarse brothers or by a solitary woman who would like to be a in good works beyond her own means simply because he seems to them the of refinement and of public usefulness what wonder then that in society such as i have told you it was a long while ago a zealous clergyman aged thirty three called forth all the little that belong to the divine necessity of loving in the miss with their seven or eight and their no less than in miss with her youthful bloom and her ample cannon curls but mr has entered the room and the strange light from the golden sky falling on his light brown hair which is brushed high up round his head makes it look almost like an his eyes too shine with unwonted brilliancy this evening they were not remarkable eyes but they accorded completely in their changing light with the changing expression of his person which indicated the character often in a sang at once mild and irritable gentle and indolent and resolute self and except that the lips had something of the compressed look which is s repentance often the sign of a struggle to keep the and that the complexion was rather pallid giving the idea of imperfect health mr s face in repose was that of an ordinary and it seemed difficult to refer a certain air of distinction about him to anything in particular unless it were his delicate hands and well feet it was a great to the mind that a parson who would take tea with and make friends of vulgar women like the should have so much the air of a gentleman and be so little like the footed mr of to whom he so closely in doctrine and this want of correspondence between the and the creed had excited no less surprise in the larger town of where mr had formerly held a for of the two other low in the neighborhood one was a of fi and complexion and the other a man of aspect with black hair and a of limp � in fact the sort of thin you mi ht expect in men who distributed the of the society and introduced hymns into the church mr shook hands with mrs bowed with rather a pr x air to the other ladies and seated himself in the large horse hair which had been drawn forward for him while the ladies ceased from their work and fixed their eyes on him awaiting the news he had to tell t m it seems he began in a low and tone need a lesson of patience there has been wrong in my thought or action about this evening lecture i have been too much bent on doing good to after my own plan � too on my own wisdom mr tr an paused he was straggling inward � the are come back then has mr given way i has succeeded � were the eager questions of three ladies at once yes the town is in an uproar as we were sitting in mr s drawing room we heard a loud cheering and presently mr the clerk at the bank who had been waiting at the red lion to hear the result came to let us know ho said had been making n speech to the mob out the window they were drink to the people and in great letters � down with the down with cant the had a hideous of me being tripped up and pitched head out of the pulpit good old mr would insist on sending me round in the carriage he thought i should not be safe from the mob but i got down at the � the row was evidently by before be set out he made sure of succeeding mr s utterance had been letting rather louder and more rapid in the course of this speech and he now added in the energetic which both in and out of the pulpit continually with his more notes � but his triumph will e a short one if he thinks he can me by or threats he has mistaken the man he has to deal with mr and his will find themselves after all mr has been false to his own conscience in this business he knows as well as i do that he is throwing away the souls of the people by leaving things as they are in the parish but i shall appeal to the bishop � i am confident of his sympathy � the bishop will be coming shortly i suppose said miss to hold a confirmation yes but i shall write to him at and lay the � se before him scenes of life indeed i must hurry now for i have many matters to attend to you ladies been kindly helping me with your labors i see continued mr politely glancing at the canvas covered books as he rose from his seat then turning to mary our library is really getting on i think you and your sister have quite a heavy task of distribution now poor felt it very hard to bear that mr did not turn towards her too if he knew how much she entered into his feelings about the lecture and the interest she took in the library well perhaps it was her lot to be overlooked � and it might be a token of mercy even a good man might not always know the heart that was most with him but the next moment poor mary had a pang when mr turned to miss and the expression of his face melted into that beaming timidity with which a man almost always addresses a pretty woman i have to thank you too miss for me so well in your visits to joseph the old man
