be so worried and by as to get the worst of it there s no thing as a talking machine like then you absolutely refuse yes i do yon remember that when i wrote my letter of thanks to you approved my offer to serve him if possible certainly i remember it but suppose he had asked yon to vote for civil marriage or to go and hear him preach eveiy sunday but he has not asked that something as unreasonable though well said philip taking up mr s letter and looking graver � looking even vexed it is rather an unpleasant business for me i really felt obliged to him i think there s a sort of worth in the man beyond his class whatever may be the reason of the case i shall disappoint him instead of doing him the service i offered well a we can t help it the worst of it is i should bo insulting him to say i will do any thing else but not just this that you want he evidently feels himself in company with and and and considers our letters part of tho history of yes yes i know it s rather an unpleasant thing you are aware that i would have done any thing in reason to prevent you from becoming here i consider your character a possession to all of us i think i must call on him forthwith and explain and no sit still thought of something said the with a sudden revival of spirits i ve just seen coming in he is to lunch with me to day it would do no harm for him to hold the debate � a and a young man � hell gain by it and it would release you from any aa is not going to st j here long you know he ll soon have his title i ll put the thing to him he won t object if i wish it it s a capital idea it will do good he s a clever fellow but he wants confidence philip had not time to object before mr appeared � a young divine of good birth and figure of sallow complexion and address you have come in most said the a case has turned up in the parish in which you can be of eminent use i know that is what you have desired ever since you have been with me but i m about so much myself that there really has not been sphere enough for you you are a man i know i dare say you have all the necessary matter prepared � at your finger ends if not on paper mr smiled with rather a trembling lip willing to distinguish himself but hoping that the only alluded to a dialogue on by or some other suited to the purposes of the christian knowledge society but as the proceeded to the circumstances under which his eminent service was to be rendered he grew more and more ous you ll oblige me very much the ended by going into this thing can you guess what time you will require because it will rest with us to fix the day i should be rejoiced to oblige you mr but i really think i am not competent to� that s your don t let me hear any more of that i know of � said you might be a first man if your didn t do yon injustice and yon can refer any thing to me you know come yon will set about the thing at once but yon must tell the preacher to send a scheme of the debate � all the different beads � and he must agree to keep rigidly within the scheme there sit down at my desk and write the letter now thomas shall carry it philip sat down to and the with his firm ringing voice went on at his ease giving indications to his agitated but you can begin at once preparing a good clear statement and considering the probable points of assault yon can look into hall and the rest find all here my library wants nothing in english divinity sketch the lower ground taken by and those men but bring all your force to bear on marking out the true high church doctrine expose the wretched of the and the noisy that belongs to generally i will give you a telling passage from on the and some good which i brought together in two sermons of my own on the position of the english church in how long do you think it will take you to bring your thoughts together you can throw them afterward into the form of an essay we ll have the thing printed fit will do you good with the bishop with all mr s timidity there was fascination for him in this distinction he reflected that he could take coffee and sit up late and perhaps produce something rather fine it might be a first step toward that eminence which it was no more than his duty to to even a fame like that of a must have had a beginning mr was not insensible to the pleasure of turning sentences successfully and it was a pleasure not always with a man likes the idea of doing something remarkable which will create belief in him without any immediate display of brilliancy may blush and be silent and win a grace the more thus mr was constrained trembling all the while and much wishing that his essay were already in print i think i could hardly be ready under a fortnight the radical � very good just write that and tell him to fix the precise day and place and then we ll go to lunch the was quite satisfied he had talked himself into thinking that he should like to give a few useful hints look
