CHAPTER I 
ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 

' THERE is no revelation but that of science/ 
said Atherley. 

It was after dinner in the drawing-room. 
From the cold of the early spring night, 
closed shutters and drawn curtains carefully 
protected us ; shaded lamps and a wood fire 
diffused an exquisite twilight; we breathed 
a mild and even balmy atmosphere scented 
with hothouse flowers. 

'And this revelation completely satisfies 
all reasonable desires,' he continued, surveying 
his small audience from the hearthrug where 
he stood ; ' mind, I say all reasonable desires. 
If you have a healthy appetite for bread, you

will get it and plenty of it, but if you have 
a sickly craving for rnanna, why then you 
will come badly off, that is all. This is the 
gospel of fact, not of fancy : of things as they 
actually are, you know, instead of as A 
dreamt they were, or B decided they ought 
to be, or C would like to have them. So 
this gospel is apt to look a little dull beside 
the highly coloured romances the churches 
have accustomed us to as a modern plate- 
glass window might, compared with a stained- 
glass oriel in a mediaeval cathedral. There 
is no doubt which is the prettier of the two. 
The question is, do you want pretty colour 
or do you want clear daylight ? ' 

He paused, but neither of his listeners 
spoke. Lady Atherley was counting the 
stitches of her knitting ; I was too tired ; so 
he resumed : ' For my part, I prefer the 
daylight and the glass, without any daubing. 
What does science discover in the universe ? 
Precision, accuracy, reliability any amount 
of it ; but as to pity, mercy, love ! The 



ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 



fact is, that famous simile of the angel 
playing at chess was a mistake. Very smart, 
I grant you, but altogether misleading. 
Why ! the orthodox quote it as much as the 
others always a bad sign. It tickles these 
anthropomorphous fancies, which are at the 
bottom of all their creeds. Imagine your- 
self playing at chess, not with an angel, 
but with an automaton, an admirably con- 
structed automaton whose mechanism can 
outwit your brains any day : calm and 
strong, if you like, but no more playing for 
love than the clock behind me is ticking 
for love ; there you have a much clearer 
notion of existence. A much clearer notion, 
and a much more satisfactory notion too, 
I say. Fair play and no favour ! What 
more can you ask, if you are fit to live ? ' 

His kindling glance sought the farther end 
of the long drawing-room ; had it fallen upon 
me instead, perhaps that last challenge might 
have been less assured ; and yet how bravely 
it became the speaker, whose wide-browed head 



4 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

a no less admirable frame supported. Even 
the stiff evening uniform of his class could not 
conceal the grace of form which health and 
activity had moulded, working through highly 
favoured generations. There was latent force 
implied in every line of it, and, in the steady 
poise of look and mien, that perfect nervous 
balance which is the crown of strength. 

' And with our creed, of course, we shift 
our moral code as well. The ten command- 
ments, or at least the second table, we retain 
for obvious reasons, but the theological virtues 
must be got rid of as quickly as possible. 
Charity, for instance, is a mischievous 
quality it is too indulgent to weakness, 
which is not to be indulged or encouraged, 
but stamped out. Hope is another pernicious 
quality leading to all kinds of preposterous 
expectations which never are, or can be, 
fulfilled ; and as to faith, it is simply a vice. 
So far from taking anything on trust, you 
must refuse to accept any statement what- 
soever till it is proved so plainly you can't

help believing it whether you like it or not ; 
just as a theorem in ' 

'George/ said Lady Atherley, 'what is 
that noise ? ' 

The question, timed as Lady Atherley's 
remarks so often were, came with something 
of a shock. Her husband, thus checked in 
full flight, seemed to reel for a moment, 
but quickly recovering himself, asked 
resignedly : ' What noise ? ' 

' Such a strange noise like the howling 
of a dog.' 

' Probably it is the howling of a dog.' 

'No, for it came from inside the house, 
and Tip sleeps outside now, in the saddle- 
room, I believe. It sounded in the servants' 
wing. Did you hear it, Mr. Lyndsay ? ' 

I confessed that I had not. 

'Well, as I can offer no explanation,' 
said Atherley, 'perhaps I may be allowed 
to go on with what I was saying. Doubt, 
obstinate and almost invincible doubt, is the 
virtue we must now cultivate, just as ' 



CECILIA DE NOEL 



'Why, there it is again,' cried Lady 
Atherley. 

Atherley instantly rang the bell near him, 
and while Lady Atherley continued to repeat 
that it was very strange, and that she could 
not imagine what it would be, he waited 
silently till his summons was answered by a 
footman. 

' Charles, what is the meaning of that 
crying or howling which seems to come from 
your end of the house ? ' 

' I think, sir,' said Charles, with the coldly 
impassive manner of a highly- trained servant 
* I think, sir, it must be Ann the kitchen-maid 
that you hear/ 

' Indeed ! and may I ask what Ann the 
kitchen-maid is supposed to be doing ? ' 

' If you please, sir, she is in hysterics.' 

* Oh ! why ? ' exclaimed Lady Atherley 
plaintively. 

' Because, my lady, Mrs. Mallet has seen the 
ghost ! ' 

' Because Mrs. Mallet has seen the ghost ! ' 



ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 



repeated Atherley. ' Pray, what is Mrs. Mallet 
herself doing under the circumstances ? ' 

' She is having some brandy-and- water, sir.' 

'Mrs. Mallet is a sensible woman,' said 
Atherley heartily; ' Ann, the kitchen-maid, had 
better follow her example.' 

' You may go, Charles,' said Lady Atherley; 
and as the door closed behind him, exclaimed, 
' I wish that horrid woman had never entered 
the house ! ' 

' What horrid woman ? Your too sympathetic 
kitchen-maid ? ' 

' No, that that Mrs. Mallet.' 

' Why are you angry with her ? Because 
she has seen the ghost ? ' 

' Yes, for I told her most particularly the 
very day I engaged her, after Mrs. Webb left 
us in that sudden way I told her I never 
allowed the ghost to be mentioned.' 

' And why, my dear, did you break your 
own excellent rule by mentioning it to her ? ' 

' Because she had the impertinence to tell 
me, almost directly she came into the morning- 



8 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

room, that she knew all about the ghost ; but 
I stopped her at once, and said that if ever she 
spoke of such a thing, especially to the other 
servants, I should be very much displeased ; 
and now she goes and behaves in this way.' 

' Where did you pick up this viper ? ' 

' She comes from Quarley Beacon. There 
was no one in this stupid village who could 
cook at all, and Cecilia de Noel, who recom- 
mended her ' 

' Cecilia de Noel ! ' repeated Atherley, with 
that long-drawn emphasis which suggests so 
much. 'My dear Jane, I must say that in 
taking a servant on Cissy's recommendation 
you did not display your usual sound common 
sense. I should as soon have thought of asking 
her to buy me a gun, knowing that she would 
carefully pick out the one least likely to shoot 
anything. Cissy is accustomed to look upon a 
servant as something to be waited on and taken 
care of. Her own household, as we all know, 
is composed chiefly of chronic invalids.' 

' But I explained to Cecilia that I wanted 



ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 



somebody who was strong as well as a good cook ; 
and I am sure there is nothing the matter with 
Mrs. Mallet. She is as fat as possible, and as 
red ! Besides, she has never been one of Cecilia's 
servants ; she only goes there to help some- 
times ; and she says she is perfectly respectable.' 

'Mrs. Mallet says that Cissy is perfectly 
respectable ? ' 

' No, George ; it is not likely that I should 
allow a person in Mrs. Mallet's position to speak 
disrespectfully to me about Cecilia. Cecilia 
said Mrs. Mallet was perfectly respectable.' 

' I should not think dear old Ciss exactly 
knew the meaning of the word.' 

' Cecilia may be peculiar in many ways, 
but she is too much of a lady to send me any 
one who was not quite nice. I don't believe 
there is anything against Mrs. Mallet's char- 
acter. She cooks very well, you must allow 
that; you said only two days ago you never had 
tasted an omelette so nicely made in England.' 

' Did she cook that omelette ? Then I am 
sure she is perfectly respectable ; and pray let 



io CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

her see as many ghosts as she cares to, 
especially if it leads to nothing worse than 
her taking a moderate quantity of brandy. 
Time to smoke, Lindy. I am off.' 

I dragged myself up after my usual 
fashion, and was preparing to follow him when 
Lady Atherley, directly he was gone, began : 

' It is such a pity that clever people can 
never see things as others do. George always 
goes on in this way as if the ghost were of no 
consequence, but I always knew how it would 
be. Of course it is nice that George should 
come in for the place, as he might not have 
done if his uncle had married, and people 
said it would be delightful to live in such an 
old house, but there are a good many draw- 
backs, I can assure you. Sir Marmaduke lived 
abroad for years before he died, and every- 
thing has got into such a state. We have 
had to nearly refurnish the house ; the bed- 
rooms are not done yet. The servants' 
accommodation is very bad too, and there was 
no proper cooking-range in the kitchen. But 



i ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 11 

the worst of all is the ghost. Directly I heard 
of it I knew we should have trouble with the 
servants ; and we had not been here a month 
when our cook, who had lived with us for 
years, gave warning because the place was 
damp. At first she said it was the ghost, 
but when I told her not to talk such nonsense 
she said it was the damp. And then it is so 
awkward about visitors. What are we to do 
when the fishing season begins ? I cannot get 
George to understand that some people have 
a great objection to anything of the kind, and 
are quite angry if you put them into a haunted 
room. And it is much worse than having 
only one haunted room, because we could make 
that into a bachelor's bedroom I don't think 
they mind ; or a linen cupboard like they do 
at Wimbourne Castle ; but this ghost seems to 
appear in all the rooms, and even in the halls and 
passages, so I cannot think what we are to do.' 
I said it was extraordinary, and I meant it. 
That a ghost should venture into Atherley's 
neighbourhood was less amazing than that it 



12 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

should continue to exist in his wife's presence, 
so much more fatal than his eloquence to all 
but the tangible and the solid. Her orthodoxy 
is above suspicion, but after some hours of her 
society I am unable to contemplate any aspects 
of life save the comfortable and the uncomfort- 
able : while the Universe itself appears to me 
only a gigantic apparatus especially designed 
to provide Lady Atherley and her class with 
cans of hot water at stated intervals, costly 
repasts elaborately served, and all other re- 
quisites of irreproachable civilisation. 

But before I had time to say more, Atherley 
in his smoking-coat looked in to see if I was 
coming or not. 

' Don't keep Mr. Lyndsay up late, George,' 
said my kind hostess ; ' he looks so tired.' 

' You look dead beat/ he said later on, in 
his own particular and untidy den, as he 
carefully stuffed the bowl of his pipe. 'I 
think it would go better with you, old chap, 
if you did not hold yourself in quite so tight. 
I don't want you to rave or commit suicide in 



i ATHERLEY>S GOSPEL 13 

some untidy fashion, as the hero of a French 
novel does ; but you are as well-behaved as a 
woman, without a woman's grand resources of 
hysterics and general unreasonableness all round. 
You always were a little too good for human 
nature's daily food. Your notions on some points 
are quite unwholesomely superfine. It would be 
a comfort to see you let out in some way. I 
wish you would have a real good fling for once.' 

' I should have to pay too dear for it after- 
wards. My superfine habits are not a matter 
of choice only, you must remember.' 

' Oh ! the women ! Not the best of 

them is worth bothering about, let alone a 
shameless jilt.' 

'You were always hard upon her, George. 
She jilted a cripple for a very fine specimen of 
the race. Some of your favourite physiologists 
would say she was quite right.' 

' You never understood her, Lindy. It was 
not a case of jilting a cripple at all. She jilted 
three thousand a year and a small place for 
ten thousand a year and a big one.' 



14 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

After all, it did hurt a little, which Atherley 
must have divined, for crossing the room on 
some pretext or another he let his strong hand 
rest, just for an instant, gently upon my 
shoulder, thus, after the manner of his race, 
mutely and concisely expressing affection and 
sympathy that might have swelled a canto. 

' I shall be sorry,' he said presently, lying 
rather than sitting in the deep chair beside 
the fire, ' very sorry, if the ghost is going to 
make itself a nuisance.' 

' What is the story of the ghost ? ' 

' Story ! God bless you, it has none to tell, 
sir ; at least it never has told it, and no one 
else rightly knows it. It I mean the ghost 
is older than the family. We found it here 
when we came into the place about two 
hundred years ago, and it refused to be dis- 
lodged. It is rather uncertain in its habits. 
Sometimes it is not heard of for years ; then 
all at once it reappears, generally, I may ob- 
serve, when some imaginative female in the 
house is in love, or out of spirits, or bored in 



I ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 15 

any other way. She sees it, and then of course 
the complaint being highly infectious so 
do a lot more. One of the family started the 
theory it was the ghost of the portrait, or rather 
the unknown individual whose portrait hangs 
high up over the sideboard in the dining-room.' 

' You don't mean the lady in green velvet 
with the snuff-box ? ' 

' Certainly not ; that is my own great-grand- 
aunt. I mean a square of black canvas with 
one round yellow spot in the middle and a 
dirty white smudge under the spot. There 
are members of this family Aunt Eleanour, 
for instance who tell me the yellow spot is a 
man's face and tlie dirty white smudge an 
Elizabethan ruff. Then there is a picture of a 
man in armour in the oak room, which I don't 
believe is a portrait at all ; but Aunt Henrietta 
swears it is, and of the ghost too as he was 
before he died, of course. And very interest- 
ing details both my aunts are ready to furnish 
concerning the two originals. It is extra- 
ordinary what an amount of information is 



1 6 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

always forthcoming about things of which 
nobody can know anything as about the 
next world, for instance. The last time I 
went to church the preacher gave as minute 
an account of what our post-mortem experi- 
ences were to be as if he had gone through it 
all himself several times.' 

' Well, does the ghost usually appear in a 
ruff or in armour ? ' 

' It depends entirely upon who sees it a 
ghost always does. Last night, for instance, 
I lay you odds it wore neither ruff nor armour, 
because Mrs. Mallet is not likely to have heard 
of either the one or the other. Not that she 
saw the ghost not she. What she saw was 
a bogie, not a ghost.' 

' Why, what is the difference ? ' 

' Immense ! As big as that which separates 
the objective from the subjective. Any one 
can see a bogie. It is a real thing belonging 
to the external world. It may be a bright 
light, a white sheet, or a black shadow always 
at night, you know, or at least in the dusk, 



i ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 17 

when you are apt to be a little mixed in your 
observations. The best example of a bogie 
was Sir Walter Scott's. It looked in the 
twilight, remember exactly like Lord Byron, 
who had not long departed this life at the time 
Sir Walter saw it. Nine men out of ten 
would have gone off and sworn they had seen 
a ghost ; why, religions have been founded on 
just such stuff : but Sir Walter, as sane a man 
as ever lived though he did write poetry 
kept his head clear and went up closer to his 
ghost, which proved on examination to be a 
waterproof.' 

'A waterproof?' 

' Or a railway rug I forget which : the 
moral is the same.' 

' Well, what is a ghost ? ' 

' A ghost is nothing an airy nothing 
manufactured by your own disordered senses 
or your own over-excited brain.' 

' I beg to observe that I never saw a ghost 
in my life.' 

' I am glad to hear it. It does you credit, 
c 



1 8 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

If ever any one had an excuse for seeing a 
ghost it would be a man whose spine was 
jarred. But I meant nothing personal by the 
pronoun only to give greater force to my 
remarks. The first person singular will do 
instead. The ghost belongs to the same lot 
as the faces that make mouths at me when I 
have brain -fever, the reptiles that crawl 
about when I have an attack of the D.T., or 
to take a more familiar example the spots 
I see floating before my eyes when my liver is 
out of order. You will allow there is nothing 
supernatural in all that ? ' 

' Certainly. Though, did not that pretty 
niece of Mrs. Molyneux's say she used to see 
those spots floating before her eyes when a 
misfortune was impending ? ' 

' I fancy she did, and true enough too, as 
such spots would very likely precede a bilious 
attack, which is misfortune enough while it 
lasts. But still, even Mrs. Molyneux's niece, 
even Mrs. Molyneux herself, would not say the 
fever faces, or the reptiles, or the spots, were 



i ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 19 

supernatural. And in fact the ghost is, so 
far, more more recherche, let us say, than 
the other things. It takes more than a bilious 
attack or a fever, or even D.T., to produce 
a ghost. It takes nothing less than a pretty 
high degree of nervous sensibility and excit- 
able imagination. Now these two disorders 
have not been much developed yet by the 
masses, in spite of the school-boards : ergo, 
any apparition which leads to hysterics or 
brandy-and-water in the servants' hall is a 
bogie, not a ghost.' 

He knocked the ashes out of his pipe, and 
added : 

' And now, Lindy, as we don't want another 
ghost haunting the house, I will conduct you 
to by-by.' 

It was a strange house, Weald Manor, de- 
signed, one might suppose, by some inveterate 
. enemy of light. It lay at the foot of a steep 
hill which screened it from the morning sun, 
and the few windows which looked toward;? 
the rising day were so shaped as to admit but 



20 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

little of its brightness. At night it was even 
worse, at least in the halls and passages, for 
there, owing probably to the dark oak which 
lined both walls and floor, a generous supply 
of lamps did little more than illumine the 
surface of the darkness, leaving unfathomed 
and unexplained mysterious shadows that 
brooded in distant corners, or, towering giant- 
wise to the ceiling, loomed ominously over- 
head. Will -o'- the -wisp -like reflections from 
our lighted candles danced in the polished 
surface of panel and balustrade, as from the 
hall we went upstairs, I helping myself from 
step to step by Atherley's arm, as instinctively, 
as unconsciously almost, as he offered it. We 
stopped on the first landing. Before us rose 
the stairs leading to the gallery where Ather- 
ley's bedroom was ; to our left ran ' the 
bachelor's passage/ where I was lodged. 

'Night, night,' were Atherley's parting 
words. c Don't dream of flirts or ghosts, but 
sleep sound.' 

Sleep sound ! the kind words sounded like 



i ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 21 

mockery. Sleep to me, always chary of her 
presence, was at best but a fair-weather friend, 
instantly deserting me when pain or exhaus- 
tion made me crave the more for rest and 
forgetfulness ; but I had something to do in 
the interim a little auto-da-fe to perform, by 
which, with that faith in ceremonial, so deep 
laid in human nature, I meant once for all to 
lay the ghost that haunted me the ghost of 
a delightful but irrevocable past, with which I 
had dallied too long. 

Sitting before the wood-fire I slowly un- 
folded them : the three faintly - perfumed 
sheets with the gilt monogram above the 
pointed writing. 

' Dear Mr. Lyndsay/ ran the first, ' why 
did you not come over to-day ? I was expect- 
ing you to appear all the afternoon. Yours 
sincerely, G-. E. L.' 

The second was dated four weeks later 

' You silly boy ! I forbid you ever to write 
or talk of yourself in such a way again. You 
are not a cripple ; and if you had ever had a 



CECILIA DE NOEL 



mother or a sister, you would know how little 
women think of such things. How many more 
assurances do you expect from me ? Do you 
wish me to propose to you again ? No, if you 
won't have me, go. Yours in spite of your- 
self, GLADYS.' 

The third the third is too long to quote 
entire ; besides, the substance is contained in 
this last sentence 

' So I think, my dear Mr. Lyndsay, for 
your sake more than my own, our engagement 
had better be broken off.' 

In this letter, dated six weeks ago, she had 
charged me to burn all that she had written to 
me, and as yet I had not done so, shrinking 
from the sharp unreasonable pain with which we 
bury the beloved dead. But the time of my 
mourning was accomplished. I tore the paper 
into fragments and dropped them into the 
flames. 

It must have been the pang with which 
I watched them darken and shrivel that 
brought back the memory of another sharp 



I ATHERLEY' S GOSPEL 23 

stab. It was that day ten years ago, when I 
walked for the first time after my accident. 
Supported by a stick on one side, and by 
Atherley on the other, I crawled down the 
long gallery at home and halted before a high 
wide-open window to see the sunlit view of 
park and woods and distant downland. Then 
all at once, ridden by my groom, Charming 
went past with feet that verily danced upon 
the greensward, and quivering nostrils that 
rapturously inhaled the breath of spring and 
of morning. I said : ' George, I want you to 
have Charming.' And it made me smile, even 
in that bitter moment, to remember how in- 
distinctly, how churlishly almost, Atherley 
accepted the gift in his eager haste to get 
me out of sight and thought of it. 

It was long before the last fluttering rags 
had vanished, transmuted into fiery dust. 
The clock on the landing had many times 
chanted its dirge since I had heard below the 
footsteps of the servants carrying away the 
lamps from the sitting-rooms and the hall. 



24 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

Later still came the far-off sound of Atherley's 
door closing behind him, like the final good- 
night of the waking day. Over all the uncon- 
scious household had stolen that silence which 
is more than silence, that hush which seems 
to wait for something, that stillness of the 
night - watch which is kept alone. It was 
familiar enough to me, but to-night it had a 
new meaning ; like the sunlight that shines 
when we are happy, or the rain that falls 
when we are weeping, it seemed, as if in sym- 
pathy, to be repeating and accenting what I 
could not so vividly have told in words. In 
my life, and for the second time, there was 
the same desolate pause, as if the dreary tale 
were finished and only the drearier epilogue 
remained to live through the same sense of sad 
separation from the happy and the healthful. 

I made a great effort to read, holding the 
book before me and compelling myself to follow 
the sentences, but that power of abstraction 
which can conquer pain does not belong to 
temperaments like mine. If only I could have 



i ATHERLEY'S GOSPEL 25 

slept, as men have been able to do even upon 
the rack ; but every hour that passed left 
me more awake, more alive, more super- 
sensitive to suffering. 

Early in the morning, long before the dawn, 
I must have been feverish, I think. My head 
and hands burned, the air of the room stifled 
me, I was losing my self-control. 

I opened the window and leant out. The 
cool air revived me bodily, but to the fever 
of the spirit it brought no relief. To my 
heart, if not to my lips, sprang the old old cry 
for help which anguish has wrung from gener- 
ation after generation. The agony of mine, 
I felt wildly, must pierce through sense, time, 
space, everything even to the Living Heart 
of all and bring thence some token of pity ! 
For one instant my passion seemed to beat 
against the silent heavens, then to fall back 
bruised and bleeding. 

Out of the darkness came not so much as a 
wind whisper or the twinkle of a star. 

Was Atherley right after all ? 



THE STRANGERS GOSPEL 

FROM the short unsatisfying slumber which 
sometimes follows a night of insomnia I was 
awakened by the laughter and shouts of 
children. When I looked out I saw brooding- 
above the hollow a still gray day, in whose 
light the woodlands of the park were all in 
sombre brown, and the trout stream between 
its sedgy banks glided dark and lustreless. 

On the lawn, still wet with dew, and crossed 
by the shadows of the bare elms, Atherley's 
little sons, Harold and Denis, were playing 
with a very unlovely but much-beloved mongrel 
called Tip. They had bought him with their 
own pocket-money from a tinker who was ill-

pitality of their parents ; so, though Atherley 
often spoke of the dog as a disgrace to the 
household, he remained a member thereof, and 
received from a family incapable of being 
uncivil, far less unkind, to an animal, as much 
attention as if he had been high-bred and 
beautiful which indeed he plainly supposed 
himself to be. 

When, about an hour later, after their daily 
custom, this almost inseparable trio fell into 
the breakfast-room as if the door had suddenly 
given way before them, the boys were able to 
revenge themselves for the rebuke this entrance 
provoked by the tidings they brought with 
them. 

' I say, old Mallet is going,' cried Harold 
cheerfully, as he wriggled himself on to his 
chair. ' Denis, mind I want some of that 
egg-stuff.' 

' Take your arms off the table, Harold,' said 
Lady Atherley. ' Pray, how do you know Mrs. 
Mallet is going ? ' 

' She said so herself. She said,' he went

on, screwing up his nose and speaking in a 
falsetto to express the intensity of his scorn 
' she said she was afraid of the ghost.' 

' I told you I did not allow that word to be 
mentioned/ 

' I did not ; it was old Mallet.' 

' But, pray, what were you doing in old 
Mallet's domain ? ' asked Atherley. 

' Cooking cabbage for Tip.' 

' Hum ! What with ghosts by night and 
boys by day, our cook seems to have a pleasant 
time of it ! I shall be glad when Miss Jones's 
holidays are over. Castleman, is it true that 
Mrs. Mallet talks of leaving us because of the 
ghost ? ' 

' I am sure I don't know, sir/ answered the 
old butler. ' She was going on about it very 
foolish this morning.' 

' And how is the kitchenmaid ? ' 

' Has not come down yet, sir ; says her 
nerve is shook,' said Castleman, retiring with a 
plate to the sideboard ; then added, with the 
freedom of an old servant, ' Bile, /should say.' 



ii THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 29 

' Probably. We had better send for Doctor 
What's-his-name. ' 

' The usual doctor is away/ said Lady 
Atherley. ' There is a London doctor in his 
place. He is clever, Lady Silvia said, but he 
gives himself airs.' 

' Never mind what he gives himself if he 
gives his patients the right thing.' 

' And after all we can manage very well with- 
out Ann, but what are we to do about Mrs. 
Mallet ? I always told you how it would be.' 

' But, my dear, it is not my fault. You 
look as reproachfully at me as if it were my 
ghost which was causing all this disturbance 
instead of the ghost of a remote ancestor pre- 
decessor, in fact.' 

' No, but you will always talk just as if it 
was of no consequence/ 

' I don't talk of the cook's going as being of 
no consequence. Far from it. But you must 
not let her go, that is all.' 

' How can I prevent her going ? I think 
you had better talk to her yourself.' 



30 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' I should like to meet her very much ; 
would not you, Lindy ? I should like to hear 
her story ; it must be a blood-curdling one, to 
judge from its effect upon Ann. The only 
person I have yet met who pretended to have 
seen the ghost was Aunt Eleanour.' 

' And what was it like, daddy ? ' asked 
Denis, much interested. 

' She did not say, Den. She would never 
tell me anything about it.' 

' Would she tell me ? ' 

' I am afraid not. I don't think she would 
tell any one, except perhaps Mr. Lyndsay. 
He has a way of worming things out of 
people.' 

' Mr. Lyndsay, how do you worm things out 
of people ? ' 

' I don't know, Denis ; you must ask your 
father.' 

' First, by never asking any questions,' said 
Atherley promptly ; ' and then by a curious 
way he has of looking as if he was listening 
attentively to what was said to him, instead 



II THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 31 

of thinking, like most people, what he shall 
say himself when he gets a chance of putting 
a word in.' 

'But how could Aunt Eleanour see the 
ghost when there is not any such thing ? ' 
cried Harold. 

' How indeed ! ' said his father, rising ; 
'that is just the puzzle. It will take you 
years to find it out. Lindy, look into the 
morning-room in about half an hour, and you 
will hear a tale whose lightest word will 
harrow up thy soul, etc. etc.' 

As Lady Atherley kindly seconded this 
invitation I accepted it, though not with the 
consequences predicted. Anything less sug- 
gestive of the supernatural, or in every way less 
like the typical ghost - seer, was surely never 
produced than the round and rubicund little 
person I found in conversation with the 
Atherleys. Mrs. Mallet was a brunette who 
might once have considered herself a beauty, 
to judge by the self-conscious and self-satisfied 
simper which the ghastliest recollections were

unable to banish. As I entered I caught only 
the last words of Atherley's speech 

' treating you well, Mrs. Mallet ? ' 

' Oh no, sir,' answered Mrs. Mallet, stand- 
ing very straight and stiff, with two plump red 
hands folded demurely before her ; ' which I 
have not a word to say against any one, but 
have met, ever since I come here, with the 
greatest of kindness and respect. But the 
noises, sir, the noises of a night is more than 
I can abear.' 

' Oh, they are only rats, Mrs. Mallet.' 
'No rats in this world ever made sech a 
noise, sir ; which the very first night as I slep 
here, there come the most mysterioustest sounds 
as ever I hear, which I says to Hann, " What- 
ever are you a-doing ? " which she woke up all 
of a suddent, as young people will, and said 
she never hear nor yet see nothing.' 

' What was the noise like, Mrs. Mallet ? ' 
'Well, sir, I can only compare it to the 
dragging of heavy furniture, which I really 
thought at first it was her ladyship a-coming 



ii THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 33 

upstairs to waken me, took bad with burglars 
or a fire.' 

'But, Mrs. Mallet, I am sure you are too 
brave a woman to mind a little noise.' 

' It is not only noises, sir. Last night 

Mrs. Mallet drew a long breath and closed 
her eyes. 

' Yes, Mrs. Mallet, pray go on ; I am 
very curious to hear what did happen last 
night.' 

' It makes the cold chills run over me to 
think of it. We was all gone to bed least- 
ways the maids and me, and Hann and me 
was but just got to my room when says 
she to me, "Oh la ! whatever do you think ? " 
says she ; "I promised Ellen when she went 
out this afternoon as I would shut the windows 
in the pink bedroom at four o'clock, and never 
come to think of it till this minute," she says. 
" Oh dear," I says, " and them new chintzes will 
be entirely ruined with the damp. Why, what a 
good-for-nothing girl you are ! " I says ; " and 
what you thinks on half your time is more 

D

than I can tell." "Whatever shall I do?" 
she says, "for go along there at this time of 
night all by myself I dare not," says she. 
" Well," I says, " rather than you should go 
alone, I'll go along with you," I says, "for 
stay here by myself I would not," I says, " not 
if any one was to pay me hundreds." So we 
went down our stairs and along our passage 
to the door which you go into the gallery, 
Hann a-clutching hold of me and starting, 
which when we come into the gallery I was all 
of a tremble, and she shook so I said, " La ! 
Hann, for goodness' sake do carry that candle 
straight, or you will grease the carpet shame- 
ful " ; and come to the pink room I says, 
" Open the door." " La ! " says she, " what if 
we was to see the ghost ? " " Hold your silly 
nonsense this minute," I says, " and open the 
door," which she do, but stand right back for 
to let me go first, when, true as ever I am 
standing here, my lady, I see something white 
go by like a flash, and struck me cold in the 
face, and blew the candle out, and then come 



ii THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 35 

the fearfullest noise, which thunderclaps is 
nothing to it. Hann began a-screaming, and 
we ran as fast as ever we could till we come 
to the pantry, where Mr. Castleman and the 
footman was. I thought I should ha' died : 
died I thought I should. My face was as 
white as that antimacassar.' 

'How could you see your face, Mrs. 
Mallet ? ' somewhat peevishly objected Lady 
Atherley. 

But Mrs. Mallet with great dignity re- 
torted 

' Which I looked down my nose, and it 
were like a corpse's.' 

' Very alarming,' said Atherley, ' but easily 
explained. Directly you opened the door 
there was, of course, a draught from the open 
window. That draught blew the candle out 
and knocked something over, probably a 
screen.' 

' La' bless you, sir, it was more like paving 
stones than screens a-falling/ 

And indeed Mrs. Mallet was so far right, 



36 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

that, when to settle the weighty question once 
for all, we adjourned in a body to the pink 
bedroom, we discovered that nothing less than 
the ceiling, or at least a portion of it, had 
fallen, and was lying in a heap of broken 
plaster upon the floor. However, the moral, 
as Atherley hastened to observe, was the 
same. 

' You see, Mrs. Mallet, this was what made 
the noise.' 

Mrs. Mallet made no reply, but it was 
evident she neither saw nor intended to see 
anything of the kind ; and Atherley wisely 
substituted bribery for reasoning. But even 
with this he made little way till accidentally 
he mentioned the name of Mrs. de Noel, when, 
as if it had been a name to conjure by, Mrs. 
Mallet showed signs of softening. 

' Yes, think of Mrs. de Noel, Mrs. Mallet ; 
what will she say if you leave her cousin to 
starve ? ' 

' I should not wish such a thing to happen 
for a moment/ said Mrs. Mallet, as if this 



ii THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 37 

had been no figure of speech but the actual 
alternative, ' not to any relation of Mrs. de 
Noel' 

And shortly after the debate ended with a 
cheerful ' Well, Mrs. Mallet, you will give us 
another trial,' from Atherley. 

'There/ he exclaimed, as we all' three 
returned to the morning -room ' there is as 
splendid an example of the manufacture of a 
bogie as you are ever likely to meet with. 
All the spiritual phenomena are produced 
much in the same way. Work yourself up 
into a great state of terror and excitement, in 
the first place ; in the next, procure one com- 
panion, if not more, as credulous and excitable 
as yourself; go at a late hour and with a dim 
light to a place where you have been told you 
will see something supernatural ; steadfastly 
and determinedly look out for it, and you 
will have your reward. These are precisely 
the lines on which a spiritual seance is con- 
ducted, only instead of plaster, which is not 
always so obliging as to fall in the nick of

time, you have a paid medium who supplies 
the material for your fancy to work upon. 
Mrs. Mallet, you see, has discovered all this 
for herself that woman is a born genius. 
Just think what she might have been and seen 
if she had lived in a sphere where neither 
cooking nor any other rational occupation 
interfered with her pursuit of the supernatural. 
Mrs. Molyneux would be nowhere beside her.' 

' I suppose she really does intend to stay/ 
said Lady Atherley. 

' Of course she does. I always told you my 
powers of persuasion were irresistible.' 

' But how annoying about the ceiling,' said 
Lady Atherley. ' Over the new carpet too ! 
What can make the plaster fall in this way ? ' 

' It is the quality of the climate/ said 
Atherley. ' It is horribly destructive. If you 
would read the batch of letters now on my 
writing-table from tenant-farmers you would see 
what I mean : barns, roofs, gates, everything 
is falling to pieces and must immediately be 
repaired at the landlord's expense, of course.' 



ii THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 39 

' We must send for a plasterer/ said Lady 
Atherley, ' and then the doctor. Perhaps you 
would have time to go round his way, 
George.' 

' No, I have no time to go anywhere but 
to Northside Farm. Hunt has been waiting 
nearly half an hour for me as it is. Lindy, 
would you like to come with me ? ' 

' No, thank you, George ; I too am a land- 
owner, and I mean to look over my audit 
accounts to-day.' 

'Don't compare yourself to a poor over- 
worked underpaid landowner like me. You 
are one of the landlords they spout about in 
the London parks on Sundays. You have 
nothing to do but sign receipts for your rents, 
paid in full and up to date.' 

' Mr. Lyndsay is an excellent landlord,' said 
Lady Atherley ; ' and they tell me the new 
church and the schools he has built are 
charming.' 

' Very mischievous things both,' said Ather- 
ley. ' Ta-ta.' 



40 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP 

That afternoon, Atherley being still absent, 
and Lady Atherley having gone forth to pay a 
round of calls, the little boys undertook my 
entertainment. They were in rather a sober 
mood for them, having just forfeited four 
weeks' pocket-money towards expenses in- 
curred by Tip in the dairy, where they had 
foolishly allowed him to enter ; so they ac- 
cepted very good-humouredly my objections 
to wading in the river or climbing trees, and 
took me instead for a walk to Beggar's Stile. 
We climbed up the steep carriage-drive to the 
lodge, passed through the big iron gates, turned 
sharply to the left, and went down the road 
which the park palings border and the elms 
behind them shade, past the little copse beyond 
the park, till we came to a tumble-down gate 
with a stile beside it in the hedgerow ; and 
this was Beggar's Stile. It was just on the 
brow of the little hill which sloped gradually 
downward to the village beneath, and com- 
manded a wide view of the broad shallow 
valley and of the rising ground beyond. 



it THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 41 

I was glad to sit down on the step of the 
stile. 

' Are you tired already, Mr. Lyndsay ? ' in- 
quired Harold incredulously. 

' Yes, a little.' 

' I s'pose you are tired because you always 
have to pull your leg after you,' said Denis, 
turning upon me two large topaz-coloured eyes. 
' Does it hurt you, Mr. Lyndsay ? ' 

'Mother told you not to talk about Mr, 
Lyndsay's leg,' observed Harold sharply. 

'No, she didn't; she said I was not to 
talk about the funny way he walked. She 
said 

' Well, never mind, little man,' I interrupted. 
' Is that Weald down there ? ' 

' Yes,' cried Denis, maintaining his balance 
on the topmost bar but one of the gate with 
enviable ease. ' All these cottages and houses 
belong to Weald, and it is all daddy's on 
this side of the river down to where you see 
the white railings a long way down near the 
poplars, and that is the road we go to tea with 



42 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

Aunt Eleanour ; and do you see a little blue 
speck on the hill over there ? You could see 
if you had a tefelscope. Daddy showed me 
once ; but you must shut your eye. That is 
Quarley Beacon, where Aunt Cissy lives.' 

'No, she does not, stupid,' cried Harold, 
now suspended, head downwards, by one foot 
from the topmost rail of the gate. ' No one 
lives there. She lives in Quarley Manor, just 
behind.' 

Denis replied indirectly to the discourteous 
tone of this speech by trying with the point of 
his own foot to dislodge that by which Harold 
maintained his remarkable position, and a 
scuffle ensued, wherein, though a non-com- 
batant, I seemed likely to get the worst, when 
their attention was fortunately diverted by 
the sight of Tip sneaking off, and evidently 
with the vilest motives, towards the covert. 

My memory was haunted that day by cer- 
tain words spoken seven months ago by 
Atherley, and by me at the time very un- 
graciously received : 



n THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 43 

' Remember, if you do come a cropper, it 
will go hard with you, old man ; you can't 
shoot or hunt or fish off the blues, like other 
men.' 

No, nor could I work them off, as some might 
have done. I possessed no distinct talents, no 
marked vocation. If there was nothing behind 
and beyond all this, what an empty freak of 
destiny my life would have been full, not 
even of sound and fury, but of dull common- 
place suffering : a tale told by an idiot with a 
spice of malice in him. 

Then the view before me made itself felt, 
as a gentle persistent sound might have done : 
a flat, almost featureless scene a little village 
church with cottages and gardens clustering 
about it, straggling away from it, by copses 
and meadows in which winter had left only 
the tenderest shades of the saddest colours. 
The winding river brightened the dull picture 
with broken glints of silver, and the tawny 
hues of the foreground faded through soft 
gradations of violet and azure into a far dis- 



44 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

tance of pearly gray. It is not the scenery 
men cross continents and oceans to admire, 
and yet it has a message of its own. I felt it 
that day when I was heart-weary, and was 
glad that in one corner of this restless world 
the little hills preach peace. 

Meantime Tip had been recaptured, and 
when he, or rather the ground close beside him, 
had been beaten severely with sticks, and he 
himself upbraided in terms which left the 
censors hoarse, we went down again into the 
hollow. Then Lady Atherley returned and 
gave me tea ; and afterwards, in the library, 
I worked at accounts till it was nearly too 
dark to write. No doubt on the high ground 
the sky was aflame with brilliant colour, of 
which only a dim reflection tinged the dreary 
view of sward and leafless trees, to which, for 
some mysterious reason, a gig crawling down 
the carriage - drive gave the last touch of 
desolation. 

Just as I laid my pen aside the door opened, 
and Castleman introduced a stranger. 



THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 45 



' If you will wait here, sir, I will find her 
ladyship.' 

The new-comer was young and slight, with 
an erect carriage and a firm step. He had the 
finely-cut features and dull colouring which I 
associate with the high-pressure life of a busy 
town, so that I guessed who he was before his 
first words told me. 

' No, thank you, I will not sit down ; I 
expect to be called to my patient immediately.' 

The thought of this said patient made 
me smile, and in explanation I told him from 
what she was supposed to be suffering. 

' Well ; it is less common than other forms 
of feverishness, but will probably yield to the 
same remedies,' was his only comment. 

' You do not believe in ghosts ? ' 

' Pardon me, I do, just as I believe in all 
symptoms. When my patient tells me he 
hears bells ringing in his ear, or feels the 
ground swaying under his feet, I believe 
him implicitly, though I know nothing of the 
kind is actually taking place. The ghost, so 



46 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

far, belongs to the same class as the other ex- 
periences, that it is a symptom it may be of 
a very trifling, it may be of a very serious 
disorder.' 

The voice, the keen flash of the eye, im- 
pressed me. I recognised one of those alert 
intelligences, beside whose vivid flame the 
mental life of most men seems to smoulder. 
I wished to hear him speak again. 

' Is this your view of all supernatural mani- 
festations ? ' 

' Of all so-called supernatural manifesta- 
tions ; I don't understand the word or the 
distinction. No event which has actually 
taken place can be supernatural. Since it 
belongs to the actual it must be governed by, 
it must be the outcome of, laws which every- 
where govern the actual everywhere and at 
all times. In fact, it must be natural, what- 
ever we may think of it.' 

' Then if a miracle could be proven, it would 
be no miracle to you 1 ' 

* Certainly not.' 



TI THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 47 

' And it could convince you of nothing ? ' 
' Neither me nor any one else who has out- 
grown his childhood, I should think. I have 
never been able to understand the outcry of 
the orthodox over their lost miracles. It 
makes their position neither better nor worse. 
The miracles could never prove their creeds. 
How am I to recognise a divine messenger ? 
He makes the furniture float about the room ; 
he changes that coal into gold ; he projects 
himself or his image here when he is a thousand 
miles away. Why, an emissary from the devil 
might do as much ! It only proves always 
supposing he really does these things instead 
of merely appearing to do so it proves that 
he is better acquainted with natural laws than 
I am. What if he could kill me by an effort 
of the will ? What if he could bring me to 
life again ? It is always the same ; he might 
still be morally my inferior ; he might be a 
false prophet after all.' 

He took out his watch and looked at it, 
by this simple action illustrating and remind- 



48 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

ing me of the difference between us lie talk- 
ing to pass away the time, I thinking aloud 
the gnawing question at my heart. 

' And you have no hope for anything be- 
yond this ? ' 

Something in my voice must have struck 
his ear, trained like every other organ of ob- 
servation to quick and fine perception, for 
he looked at me more attentively, and it was 
in a gentler tone that he said 

' Surely, you do not mean for a life beyond 
this ? One's best hope must be that the whole 
miserable business ends with death.' 

' Have you found life so wretched ? ' 

* I am not speaking from my own particular 
point of view. I am singularly, exceptionally, 
fortunate. I am healthy ; I have tastes which 
I can gratify, work which I keenly enjoy. 
Whether the tastes are worth gratifying or 
the work worth doing, I cannot say. At least 
they act as an anodyne to self-consciousness ; 
they help me to forget the farce in which I 
play my part. Like Solomon, and all who 



it THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 49 

have had the best of life, I call it vanity. 
What do you suppose it is to those by far 
the largest number, remember who have had 
the worst of it ? To them it is not vanity, 
it is misery.' 

' But they suffer under the invariable laws 
you speak of laws working towards deliver- 
ance and happiness in the future.' 

' The future ? Yes, I know that form of 
consolation which seems to satisfy so many. 
To me it seems a hollow one. I have never 
yet been able to understand how any amount 
of ecstasy enjoyed by B a million years hence 
can make up for the torture A is suffering 
to-day. I suppose, dealing so much with indi- 
viduals as I do, I am inclined to individualise 
like a woman. I think of units rather than 
of the mass. At this moment I have before 
me a patient now left suffering pain as acute 
as any the rack ever inflicted. How does it 
affect his case that centuries later such pain 
may be unknown ? ' 

' Of course, the individual's one and only 
E

hope is a future existence. Then it may be 
all made up to him.' 

' I see no reason to hope so. Either there 
is no God, and we shall still be at the mercy 
of the blind destiny we suffer under here ; or 
there is a God, the God who looks on at this 
world and makes no sign ! The sooner we 
escape from Him by annihilation the better.' 

' Christians would tell you He had given a 
sign.' 

' Yes ; so they do in words and deny it 
in deeds. Nothing is sadder in the whole 
tragedy, or comedy, than these pitiable efforts 
to hide the truth, to gloss it over with fables 
which nobody in his heart of hearts believes 
at least in these days. Why not face the 
worst like men ? If we can't help being un- 
happy, we can help being dishonest and 
cowardly. Existence is a misfortune. Let 
us frankly confess that it is, and make the 
best of it.' 

He was not looking at his watch now ; he 
was pacing the room. At last, he was in 



THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 



earnest, and had forgotten all accidents of time 
and place before the same enigma which 
perplexed myself. 

'The best of it!' I re-echoed. 'Surely, 
under these circumstances, the best thing 
would be to commit suicide ? ' 

' No,' he cried, stopping and turning sharply 
upon me. 'The worst, because the most 
cowardly ; so long as you have strength, 
brains, money anything with which you can 
do good.' 

He looked past me through the window 
into the outer air, no longer faintly tinged, but 
dyed deep red by the light of the unseen but 
resplendent sunset, and added slowly, de- 
jectedly, as if speaking to himself as much as 
to me 

' Yes, there is one thing worth living for 
to help to make it all a little more bearable 
for the others.' 

And then, all at once, his face, so virile yet 
so delicate, so young and yet so sad, reminded 
me of one I had seen in an old picture the face 



52 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

of an angel watching beside the dead Christ ; 
and I cried 

' But are you certain He has made no sign ; 
not hundreds of years ago, but in your own 
lifetime ? not to saint or apostle, but to you, 
yourself? Has nothing which has happened 
to you, nothing you have ever seen or read or 
heard, tempted you to hope in something 
better ? ' 

' Yes,' he said deliberately ; ' I have had my 
weak moments. My conviction has wavered, 
not before religious teaching of any kind, how- 
ever, nor before Nature, in which some people 
seem to find such promise ; but I have met 
one or two women, and one man all of them 
unknown, unremarkable people whom the 
world never heard of, nor is likely to hear of, 
living uneventful obscure lives in out-of-the- 
way corners. For instance, there is a lady 
in this very neighbourhood, a relation of 
Sir George Atherley, I believe, Mrs. de 
No ' 

* Her ladyship would like to see you in the 



ii THE STRANGER'S GOSPEL 53 

drawing-room, sir/ said Castleman, suddenly 
coming in. 

The doctor bowed to me and immediately 
left the room. 



CHAPTER III 

MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 

' No, they have not seen any more ghosts, sir/ 
replied Castleman scornfully next day, ' and 
never need have seen any. It is all along of 
this tea -drinking. We did not have this 
bother when the women took their beer 
regular. These teetotallers have done a lot 
of harm. They ought to be put down by Act 
of Parliament.' 

And the kitchen-maid was better. Mrs. 
Mallet, indeed, assured Lady Atherley that 
Hann was not long for this world, having 
turned just the same colour as the late Mr. 
Mallet did on the eve of his death ; but 
fortunately the patient herself, as well as the 
doctor, took a more hopeful view of the case. 



CHAP, in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 55 

' I can see Mrs. Mallet is a horrible old 
croaker/ said Lady Atherley. 

' Let her croak,' said Atherley, ' so long as 
she cooks as she did last night. That curry 
would have got her absolution for anything if 
your uncle had been here.' 

' That reminds me, George, the ceiling of 
the spare room is not mended yet.' 

' Why, I thought you sent to Whitford for 
a plasterer yesterday ? ' 

' Yes, and he came ; but Mrs, Mallet has 
some extraordinary story about his falling into 
his bucket and spoiling his Sunday coat, and 
going home at once to change it. I can't 
make it out, but nothing is done to the 
ceiling.' 

' I make it out,' said Atherley ; ' I make out 
that he was a little the worse for drink. 
Have we not a plasterer in the village ? ' 

' I think there is one. I fancy the Jacksons 
did not wish us to employ him, because he is 
a dissenter ; but after all, giving him work is 
not the same as giving him presents.' 



56 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP 

' No, indeed ; nor do I see why, because he 
is a dissenter, I, who am only an infidel, am 
to put up with a hole in my ceiling.' 

' Only, I don't know what his name is.' 

' His name is Smart. Everybody in our 
village is called Smart most inappropriately 
too.' 

'No, George, the man the doctor told us 
about who is so dangerously ill is called 
Monk.' 

' I am glad to hear it ; but he doesn't 
belong to our parish, though he lives so close. 
He is actually in Rood Warren. His cottage 
is at the other side of the Common.' 

' Then we can leave the wine and things 
as we go. And, George, while the boys are 
having tea with Aunt Eleanour, I think I 
shall drive on to Quarley Beacon and try 
and persuade Cecilia to come back and spend 
the night with us. I think we could manage 
to put her up in the little blue dressing- 
room. She is so good-natured; she won't 
mind its being so small.' 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 57 

' Yes, do ; I want Lyndsay to see her. 
And give my best love to Aunt Eleanour, 
and say that if she is going to send me any 
more tracts against Popery, I should be 
extremely obliged if she would prepay the 
postage sufficiently.' 

' Oh no, George, I could not. It was 
only threepence.' 

' Well, then, tell her it is no good sending 
any at all, because I have made up my 
mind to go over to Rome next July.' 

' No, George ; she might not like it, and 
I don't believe you are going to do any- 
thing of the kind. Oh, are you off already ? 
I thought you would settle something about 
the plasterer.' 

' No, no ; I can't think of plasterers and 
repairs to-day. Even the galley - slave has 
his holiday this is mine. I am going to 
see the hounds throw off at Rood Acre, 
and forget for one day that I have an inch 
of landed property in the world.' 

'But, George, if the pink -room ceiling 



58 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

is not put right by Saturday, where shall 
we put Uncle Augustus ? ' 

' Into the room just opposite to Lindy's/ 

' What ! that little room ? In the bachelor's 
passage ? A man of his age, and of his 
position ! ' 

' I am sure it is large enough for any one 
under a bishop. Besides, I don't think he 
is fussy about anything except his dinner.' 

' It is not the way he is accustomed to be 
treated when he is on a visit, I can assure 
you. He is a person who is generally con- 
sidered a great deal.' 

'Well, I consider him a great deal. I 
consider him one of the finest old heathen 
I ever knew.' 

Fortunately for their domestic peace, 
Lady Atherley usually misses the points of 
her husband's speeches, but there are some 
which jar upon her sense of the becoming, 
and this was one of them. 

' I don't think,' she observed to me, the 
offender himself having escaped, ' that even 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 59 

if Uncle Augustus were not my uncle, a 
heathen is a proper name to call a clergyman, 
especially a canon and one who is so looked 
up to in the Church. Have you ever heard 
him preach ? But you must have heard 
about him, and about his sermons ? I 
thought so. They are beautiful. When he 
preaches the church is crammed, and with 
the best people in the season, when they 
are in town. And he has written a great 
many religious books too sermons and 
hymns and manuals. There is a little book 
in red morocco you may have seen in my 
sitting-room -I know it was there a week 
ago which he gave me, The Life, of Prayer, 
with a* short meditation and a hymn for 
every hour of the day all composed by 
him. We don't see so much of him as I 
could wish. He is so grieved about George's 
views. He gave him some of his own 
sermons, but of course George would not 
look at them ; and so annoying the last 
time he came I put the sermons, two 



60 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

beautiful large volumes of them, on the 
drawing-room table, and when we were all 
there after dinner George asked me quite 
loud what these smart books were, and 
where they came from ? So altogether he 
has not come to see us for a long time ; 
but as he happened to be staying with the 
Mountshires, I begged him to come over 
for a night or two ; so you will hear him 
preach on Sunday.' 

At lunch that day Lady Atherley proposed 
that I should accompany them to Woodcote. 
' Do come, Mr. Lyndsay,' said Denis. ' We shall 
have cakes for tea, and jam-sandwiches as well.' 

'And there is an awfully jolly banister 
for sliding down,' added Harold, 'without 
any turns or landing, you know.' 

I professed myself unable to resist such 
inducements. Indeed, I was almost glad to 
go. The recollection of Mrs. Mostyn's cheer- 
ful face was as alluring to me that day 
as the thought of a glowing hearth might 
be to the beggar on the door -step. Here, 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 61 

at least, was one to whom life was a 
blessing ; who partook of all it could bestow 
with an appetite as healthfully keen as 
her nephew's, but without his disinclination 
or disregard for anything besides. 

The mild March day felt milder, the rooks 
cawed more cheerfully, and the spring flowers 
shone out more fearlessly around us when 
we had passed through the white gates of 
Woodcote a favoured spot gently declining 
to the sunniest quarter, and sheltered from 
the north and north-east by barricades of 
elm-woods. The tiny domain was exquisitely 
ordered, as I love to see everything which 
appertains to woman ; and within the low 
white house, furnished after the simple and 
stiff fashion of a past generation, reigned the 
same dainty neatness, the same sunny cheer- 
fulness, the native atmosphere of its chate- 
laine Mrs. Mostyn a white-haired old lady 
long past seventy, with the bloom of youth on 
her cheek, its vivacity in her step, and its 
sparkle in her eyes. 



62 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

Hardly were the first greetings exchanged 
when the children opened the ball of con- 
versation by inquiring eagerly when tea 
would be ready. 

' How can you be so greedy ? ' said their 
mother. ' Why, you have only just finished 
your dinner.' 

'We dined at half -past one, and it is 
nearly half-past three.' 

' Poor darlings ! ' cried Mrs. Mostyn, re- 
garding them with the enraptured gaze of the 
true child-lover ; * their drive has made them 
hungry ; and we cannot have tea very well 
before half-past four, because some old women 
from the village have come up to have tea, 
and the servants are busy attending to them. 
But I can tell you what you could do, dears. 
You know the way to the dairy ; one of the 
maids is sure to be there ; tell her to give you 
some cream. You will like that, won't you ? 
Yes, you can go out by this door.' 

' And remember to 

Lady Atherley's exhortation remained un- 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 63 

finished, her sons having darted through the 
door- window like arrows from the bow. 

' Since Miss Jones has been gone for her 
holiday the children are quite unmanageable/ 
she observed. 

' Oh, it is such a good sign ! ' cried Mrs. 
Mostyn heartily ; ' it shows they are so 
thoroughly well. Mr. Lyndsay, why have 
you chosen that uncomfortable chair ? Come 
and sit over beside me, if you are not afraid 
of the fire. And now, Jane, my love, tell me 
how you are getting on at Weald ? ' 

Then followed a long catalogue of accidents 
and disappointments, of faithlessness and 
incapacity, to which Mrs. Mostyn supplied a 
running commentary of interjections sym- 
pathetic and consoling. There were, more- 
over, many changes for the worse since Sir 
Marmaduke had resided there : the shooting 
and the fishing had been alike neglected ; the 
farmers were impoverished ; the old places had 
changed hands. 

' And a good many quite new people have 



64 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

come to live in small houses round Weald/ 
said Lady Atherley. 'They have left cards 
on us. Do you know what they are like ? ' 

' Quite ladies and gentlemen, I believe, 
and nice enough as long as you don't get to 
know them too intimately; but they are 
always quarrelling.' 

' About what ? ' 

' About everything ; but especially about 
church matters decorations and anthems and 
other rubbish. What they want is less of the 
church and more of the Bible.' 

'I believe Mr. Jackson has a Bible -class 
every week.' 

' But is it a Bible-class, or is it only called 
so ? There is Mr. Austyn at Rood Warren, a 
Romanist in disguise if ever there was one : 
he is by way of having a Bible-class, and one 
of our farmers' daughters attended it. " And 
what part of the Bible are you studying 
now ? " I asked her. " We are studying early 
church history." "I don't know any such 
chapter in the Bible as that," I said, and yet 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 65 

I know my Bible pretty well. She explained it 
was a continuation of the Acts of the Apostles. 
I said : " My dear child, don't you be misled by 
any jugglery of that kind; there is no continua- 
tion of the Bible ; and as to what people call 
the early church, its doings and sayings are of 
no consequence at all. The one question we 
have to ask ourselves is this : ' What does the 
Book say ? ' What is in the Book is God's word : 
what is not in the Book is only man's." : 

The effect of this exposition on Lady 
Atherley was to make her ask eagerly whether 
the curate in charge at Eood Warren was one 
of the Austyns of Temple Leigh. 

' I believe he is a nephew,' Mrs. Mostyn 
admitted, quite gloomily for her. ' It is 
painful to see people of good standing going 
astray in this manner.' 

' I was thinking it would be so convenient 
to get a young man over to dinner some- 
times ; and Rood Warren cannot be very far 
from us, for one of Mr. Austyn's parishioners 
lives just at the end of Weald/

' If you take my advice, my dearest Jane, 
you will not have anything to do with him. 
He is certain to be attractive men of that 
sort always are ; and there is no saying what 
he might do : perhaps gain an influence over 
George himself.' 

' I don't think there need be any fear of 
that, for at dinner, you know, we need not 
have any religious discussions ; I never will 
have them ; they are almost as bad as politics, 
they make people so cross.' 

Then she rose and explained her visit to 
Mrs. de Noel. 

'But, Mr. Lyndsay,' said Mrs. Mostyn, 
' are you going to desert the old woman for 
the young one, or are you going to stay and 
see my gardens and have tea ? That is right. 
Good-bye, my dearest Jane. Give my dear 
love to Cissy, and tell her to come over and 
see me but I shall have a glimpse of her on 
your way back.' 

' I hope Mrs. de Noel may be persuaded to 
come back,' I said, as the carriage drove off, 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 67 

and we walked along a gravel path by lawns 
of velvet smoothness ; ' I would so much like 
to meet her.' 

' Have you never met her ? Dear Cecilia ! 
She is a sweet creature the sweetest, I think, 
I ever met, though perhaps I ought not to 
say so of my own niece. She wants but one 
thing the grace of God.' 

We passed into a little wood, tapestried 
with ivy, carpeted with clustering primroses, 
and she continued 

' It is most mysterious. Both Cecilia and 
George, being left orphans so early, were 
brought up by my dear sister Henrietta. 
She was a believing Christian, and no children 
ever had greater religious advantages than 
these two. As soon as they could speak 
they learnt hymns or texts of Scripture, and 
before they could read they knew whole 
chapters of the Bible by heart. George even 
now, I will say that for him, knows his Bible 
better than a good many clergymen. And 
the Sabbath, too. They were taught to 



68 CECILIA DE NOEL. CHAP. 

reverence the Lord's day in a way children 
never are nowadays. All games and picture- 
books put away on Saturday night ; regularly 
to church morning and afternoon, and in the 
evening Henrietta would talk to them and 
question them about the sermon. And after 
all, here is George who says he believes in 
nothing ; and as to Cecilia, I never can make 
out what she does or does not believe. How- 
ever, I am quite happy in my mind about 
them. I feel they are of the elect. I am as 
certain of their salvation as I am of my 
own.' 

A sudden scampering of feet upon the 
gravel was followed by the appearance of the 
boys, rosy with exercise and excitement. 

' Well, my darling boys, have you had your 
cream ? ' 

' Oh yes, Aunt Eleanour/ cried Harold, ' and 
we have been into the farm -yard and seen 
the little pigs. Such jolly little beasts, Mr. 
Lyndsay, and squeak so funnily when you pull 
their tails/ 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 69 

' Oil, but I can't have my pigs unkindly 
treated.' 

' Not unkindly, auntie,' cried Denis, swing- 
ing affectionately upon my arm ; ' we only 
just tried to make their tails go straight, you 
know. And, Mr. Lyndsay, there is such a 
dear little baby calf.' 

' But I want to give apples to the horses,' 
cried Harold. 

So we went to the fruit -house for apples, 
which Mrs. Mostyn herself selected front an upper 
shelf, mounting a ladder with equal agility and 
grace ; then to the stables, where these dainties 
were crunched by two very fat carriage-horses ; 
then to the miniature farm -yard, and the tiny 
ivy-covered dairy beyond ; and just as I was 
beginning to feel the first qualms of my be- 
setting humiliation, fatigue, Mrs. Mostyn led us 
round to the garden a garden with high red 
walls, and a dial in the meeting-place of the 
flower-bordered paths ; and we sat down in a 
rustic seat cosily fitted into one sunny corner, 
just behind a great bed of hyacinths in flower. 



70 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

The children had but one regret : Tip had 
been left behind. 

' But mamma would not let us bring him,' 
cried Harold in an aggrieved tone, ' because he 
will roll in the flower-beds/ 

'Do you think it is nearly half-past four, 
Aunt Eleanour ? ' asked Denis. 

' Very nearly, I should think. Suppose you 
were to go and see if they have brought the 
tea-kettle in ; and if they have, call to me from 
the drawing-room window, and I will come.' 

The tempered sunlight fell full upon the 
delicate hyacinth clusters coral, snow-white, 
and faintest lilac exhaling their exquisite 
odour, and the warm sweet air seemed to 
enwrap us tenderly. My spirits, heavy as 
lead, began to rise strangely, irrationally. 
Sunlight has always for me a supersensuous 
beauty, while the colour and perfume of flowers 
move me as sound vibrations move the 
musician. Just then it was to me as if through 
Nature, from that which is behind Nature, there 
reached me a pitying, a comforting caress. 



in MRS. MOSTYWS GOSPEL 71 

And in the same key were Mrs. Mostyn's 
words when she next spoke. 

' Mr. Lyndsay, I am an old woman and 
you are very young, and my heart goes out to 
all young creatures in sorrow, especially to one 
who has no mother of his own, no, nor father 
even, to comfort him. I know what trouble 
you have had. Would you be offended if I 
said how deeply I felt for you ? ' 

' Offended, Mrs. Mostyn ! ' 

' No. I see you understand me ; you will 
not think me obtrusive when I say that I 
pray this great trial may be for your lasting 
good ; may lead you to seek and to find 
salvation. The truth is brought home to us 
in many different ways, by many different 
instruments. My own eyes were opened by 
very extraordinary means.' 

She was silent for a few instants, and then 
went on 

' When I was young, Mr. Lyndsay, I lived 
for the world only. I went to church, of 
course, like other people, and said my prayers 



72 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

and called myself a Christian, but I did not 
know what the word meant. My sister 
Henrietta would often talk seriously to me. 
but it had no effect, and she was quite 
grieved over my hardened state ; but my dear 
mother, a true saint, used to tell her to have 
no fear, that some day I should be sharply 
awakened to my soul's danger. But it was 
not till years after she was in heaven that her 
words came true. ' 

I looked at her and waited. 

'We were still living at Weald Manor 
with my brother Marmaduke, and we had 
young people staying with us. They were all 
going all but myself to a ball at Car- 
chester. I stayed at home because I had a 
slight cold, which made me feel tired and 
feverish, and disinclined to be dancing till early 
next morning. I went to bed early, and when I 
had sent away my maid I sat beside the fire for 
a little, thinking. You know the long gallery ? ' 

'Yes.' 

' My room was there ; so I was quite alone, 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 73 

for the servants slept, just as they do now, in 
the opposite end of the house. But I had my 
dog with me, such a dear little thing, a black- 
and-tan terrier. He was lying asleep on the 
rug beside me. Well, all at once he got up 
and put his head on one side as if he heard 
something, and he began barking. I only 
said, "Nonsense, Totty, lie down," and paid 
no more attention to him, till some moments 
afterwards he made a strange kind of noise as 
if he were trying to bark and was choked in 
some way. This made me look at him, and 
then I observed that he was trembling from 
head to foot, and staring in the strangest way 
at something behind me. I will honestly tell 
you he made me feel so uncomfortable I was 
frightened to look round ; and still it was 
almost as bad to sit there and not look round ; 
so at last I summoned up courage and turned 
my head. Then I saw it.' 

'The ghost?' 

'Yes.' 

' What was it like ? ' 



74 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' It was like a shadow, only darker, and 
not lying against the wall like a shadow 
would do, but standing out from it in the air. 
It stood a little way from me in a corner of 
the room. It was in the shape of a man, with 
a ruff round his neck, and sleeves puffed out at 
the shoulders, as you often see in old pictures ; 
but I don't remember much about that, for at 
the time I could think of nothing but the face.' 

'And that V 

'That was simply dreadful. I can't tell 
you what it was like. I could not have 
imagined it if I had not seen it. It was the 
look the look in its eyes. After all these 
years it makes me tremble when I think of it. 
But what I felt was not the same nervous 
feeling which made me afraid to turn round. 
It went much deeper indeed it went deeper 
than anything in my life had ever gone 
before ; it went right down to my soul, in 
fact, and made me feel I had a soul.' 

She had turned quite pale. 

'Yes, Mr. Lyndsay, strange as it sounds, 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 75 

the mere sight of that face made me realise 
in an instant what I had read and heard 
thousands of times, and what my mother and 
Henrietta had told me over and over again 
about the utter nothingness of earthly aims 
and comforts of what in an ordinary way is 
called life. I had heard very fine sermons 
preached about the same thing : " What is 
our life, it is even a vapour," and the " vain 
shadow " in which we walk. Have you ever 
thought how we can go on hearing and even 
repeating true and wise words without getting 
at their real sense, and, what is worse, with- 
out suspecting our own ignorance ? ' 

' I know it well.' 

' When Henrietta used to say that the 
whirl of worldly occupations and interests 
and amusements in which I was so engrossed 

o 

did not deserve to be called life, and could 
never satisfy the eternal soul within me, it 
used to seem to me an exaggerated way of 
saying that the next world would be better 
than this one ; but I saw the meaning of her 



76 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

words, I saw the truth of them, as I see these 
flowers before me, and feel the gravel under my 
feet : it came to me in a moment, the night 
these terrible eyes looked into mine. The 
feeling did not last, but I have never for- 
gotten it, and never shall. It was as if a 
veil were lifted for an instant, and I was 
standing outside of my life and looking back 
at it; and it seemed so poor and worthless 
and unreal I can't explain myself properly.' 
' And did the figure remain for any time ? ' 
' I do not know. I think I must have 
fainted. They found me lying in a half- 
unconscious state in my chair when they 
came home. I was ill in bed for weeks with 
what the doctors call low fever. But neither 
the fever nor anything else could remove the 
impression that had been made. That terrible 
thing was a blessed messenger to me. My real 
conversion was not till years later, but the 
way was prepared by the great shock I then 
received, and which roused me to a sense of 
my danger.' 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 77 

'What do you think the thing you saw 
was, Mrs. Mostyn ? ' 

' The ghost ? ' 

'Yes.' 

Slowly, thoughtfully, she answered me 

' I am certain it was a lost soul : nothing 
else could have worn that dreadful look.' 

She paused for a few moments and then 
continued 

' Perhaps you are one of those who do not 
believe in the punishment of sin ? ' 

' Who can disbelieve it, Mrs. Mostyn ? Call 
it what we like, it is a fact. It confronts us 
on every side. We might as well refuse to 
believe in death.' 

' It is not that I meant ! I was talking of 
punishment in the next world, Mr. Lyndsay.' 

' Well, there, too, no doubt it must continue, 
until the uttermost farthing is paid. I believe 
at least I hope that.' 

She shook her head with a troubled ex- 
pression. 

' There is no paying that debt in the next 



78 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

world. It can only be paid here. Here, a free 
pardon is offered to us, and if we do not accept 

it, then It is the fashion, even among 

believers, nowadays to avoid this awful 
subject. Preachers of the Gospel do not speak 
of it in the pulpit as they once did. It is con- 
sidered too shocking for our modern notions. 
I have no patience with such weakness, such 
folly worse than folly. It seems to me even 
more wrong to try and hide this terrible 
danger from ourselves and from others than to 
deny it altogether, as some poor deluded souls 
do. Mr. Lyndsay, have you ever realised what 
the place of torment will be like ? ' 

'Yes; once, Mrs. Mostyn.' 

' You were in pain ? ' 

' I suppose it was pain,' I said. 

For always, when anything revives this 
recollection, seared into my memory, the 
question rises : was it merely pain, physical 
pain, of which we all speak so easily and 
lightly ? It lasted only ten minutes ; ten 
minutes by the clock, that is. For me time 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 79 

was annihilated. There was no past or future, 
but only an intolerable present, in which mind 
and soul were blotted out, and all of sentient 
existence that remained was the animal con- 
sciousness of agony. I cannot share men's 
stoical contempt for a Gehenna which is 
nothing worse. 

' Mr. Lyndsay, imagine pain, worse than any 
ever endured on earth going on and on, for ever ! ' 

A bird, not a thrush, but one of the minor 
singers, lighting on a bough near us, trilled 
one simple but ecstatic phrase. 

'Do you really and truly believe, Mrs. 
Mostyn, that this will be the fate of any single 
being ? ' 

' Of any single being ? Do we not know 
that it is what will happen to the greatest 
number. For what does the Book say? 
"Many are called but few are chosen." ' 

Through the still, mild air, across the 
sun -steeped gardens, came the voices of the 
children 

' Aunt Eleanour ! Aunt Eleanour ! ' 



8o CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' Many are called/ she repeated, ' but few 
are chosen ; and those who are not chosen 
shall be cast into everlasting fire.' 

There was a pause. She turned to look at 
me, and, as if struck by something in my face, 
said gently, soothingly : 

' Yes, it is a terrible thought, but only for 
the unregenerate. It has no terror for me. 
I trust it need have no terror for you. After 
all, how simple, how easy is the way of escape ! 
You have only to believe.' 

'And then?' 

' And then you are safe, safe for evermore. 
Think of that. The foolish people who wish 
to explain away eternal punishment, forget 
that at the same time they explain away 
eternal happiness ! You will be safe now, and 
after death you will be in heaven for evermore.' 

' I shall be in heaven for evermore, and 
always there will be hell.' 

'Yes.' 

' Where the others will be ? J 

' What others ? Only the wicked 1 ' 



in MRS. MOSTYN'S GOSPEL 81 

' Aunt Eleanour ! Aunt Eleanour ! ' called 
the children once more. 

' I must go to them ! But, Mr. Lyndsay, 
think over what I have said.' 

And I remained and obeyed her, and be- 
held, entire, distinct, the spectre that drives 
men to madness or despair illimitable omni- 
potent Malice. In its shadow the colour of 
the flowers was quenched, and the music of 
the birds rang false. Yet it wore the con- 
secration of time and authority ! What if it 
were true ? 

' Mr. Lyndsay,' said Denis at my elbow, 
' Aunt Eleanour has sent me to fetch you 
to tea. Mr. Lyndsay, do you hear ? Why 
do you look so strange ? ' 

He caught my hand anxiously as he spoke, 
and by that little human touch the spell was 
broken. The phantom vanished ; and, looking 
into the child's eyes, I felt it was a lie.

in worldly amusements or ceremonials. It 
was very awkward, because Uncle Augustus's 
eldest girl had been presented only the day 
before. And Aunt Clara, Uncle Augustus's 
wife, you know, who is rather quick, said it 
depended whether the minister of the Gospel 
was a gentleman or a shoe-black, because Mrs. 
Donnithorne was attending a dissenting chapel 
then where the preacher was quite a common 
uneducated sort of person. And after that 
they would not talk to each other, and alto- 
gether, I remember, it was very unpleasant. 
I do think it is such a pity,' cried Lady 
Atherley with real feeling, ' when people will 
take up these extreme religious views as all 
the Atherleys do. I am sure it is quite a 
comfort to have some one like you in the 
house, Mr. Lyndsay, who is not particular 
about religion.'

show in the way of a ghost, she does well 
to keep so quiet about it,' was Atherley 's

comment on that part of the story which, by 
special permission, I repeated to him next 
day. ' I never heard a weaker ghost story. 
She explains the whole thing away as she 
tells it. She was, as she candidly admits, ill 
and feverish sickening for a fever, in fact, 
when the most rational person's senses are apt 
to play them strange tricks. She is alone at 
the dead of night in a house she believes to be 
haunted ; and then her dog an odious little 
beast, I remember him well, always barking 
at something or nothing ; the dog suggests 
there is somebody near. She looks round 
into a dark part of the room, and naturally, 
inevitably all things considered sees a 
ghost. Did you say it wore a ruff and puffed 
sleeves ? ' 

' So Mrs. Mostyn said.' 

' Of course, because, as I told you, Aunt 
Eleanour believed in the Elizabethan portrait 
theory. If it had been Aunt Henrietta, the 
ghost would have been in armour. Ghosts 
and all visitors from the other world obligingly

correspond with the preconceived notions of 
the visionary. When a white robe and a halo 
were considered the proper celestial outfit, 
saints and angels always appeared with white 
robes and halos. In the same way, the 
African savage, who believes in a god with a 
crooked leg, always sees him in dreams, 
waking or asleep, with a crooked leg ; and ' 

Here we were interrupted by a great stir 
in the hall outside, and Lady Atherley looked 
in to explain that the carriage with Uncle 
Augustus was just coming down the drive. 

Her manner reminded me of the full im- 
portance of this arrival, as well as of the 
unfortunate circumstance that, owing to the 
ill-timed absence of the dissenting plasterer, 
the Canon must be lodged in the little room 
opposite to my own. 

However, when I went into the drawing- 
room, I found him accepting his niece's 
apologies and explanations with great good- 
humour. To me also he was especially 
gracious. 



86 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' I had the pleasure of dining at Lindesford, 
Mr. Lyndsay, when you must have been in 
long clothes. I remember we had some of the 
finest trout I ever tasted. Are they still as 
good in your river ? ' 

His voice, like himself, was massive and 
impressive ; his bearing and manner inspired 
me with wistful admiration : what must life 
be to a man so self-confident, and so rightly 
self-confident ? 

' Is not Uncle Augustus a fine-looking man? ' 
asked Lady Atherley, when he had left the 
room with Atherley. ' I cannot think why they 
do not make him a bishop ; he would look so 
well in the robes. He ought to have had 
something when the last ministry was in, for 
Aunt Clara and Lord Lingford are cousins ; 
but, unfortunately, the families were on bad 
terms because of a lawsuit.' 

The morning after was bright and fair, so 
that sunlight mingled with the drowsy calm 
Sunday in the country as we remember it, 
looking lovingly back from lands that are not

English to the tenderer side of the Puritan 
Sabbath. But I missed my little aubade from 
the lawn, and not till breakfast-time did I 
behold my small friends, who then came into 
the breakfast-room, one on either side of their 
mother two miniature sailors, exquisitely neat 
but visibly dejected. Behind walked Tip, 
demurely recognising the change in the atmo- 
sphere, but, undisturbed thereby, he at once, 
with his usual air of self-satisfied dignity, 
assumed his place in the largest arm-chair. 

' The landau could take us all to church 
except you, George,' said Lady Atherley, 
looking thoughtfully into the fire as we waited 
for breakfast and the Canon. ' But I suppose 
you would prefer to walk ? ' 

' Why should you suppose I am going to 
church, either walking or driving ? ' 

' Well, I certainly hoped you would have 
gone to-day ; as Uncle Augustus is going to 
preach it seems only polite to do so.' 

' Well, I don't mind ; I daresay it will do 
me no harm ; and if it is understood I attend

only out of consideration for my wife's uncle, 
then ' 

He was interrupted by the entrance of the 
person in question. 

Many times during breakfast Denis looked 
thoughtfully at his great-uncle, and at last 
inquired 

' Do you preach very long sermons, Uncle 
Augustus ? ' 

' They are not generally considered so/ 
replied the Canon with some dignity. 

' Denis, I have often told you not to ask 
questions,' said Lady Atherley. 

' When I am grown up,' remarked Harold, 
' I will be an atheist.' 

' Do you know what an atheist is ? inquired 
his father. 

'Yes, it is people who never go to church.' 

' But they go to lecture-room, which you 
would find worse.' 

' But they don't have sermons.' 

' Don't they ? Hours long, especially when 
they bury each other.' 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 89 

' Oh ! ' said Harold, evidently taken aback, 
and somewhat reconciled to the church. 

' When I am grown up,' said Denis, ' I 
mean to be the same church as Aunt Cissy.' 

' And what may that be ? ' inquired the 
Canon. 

Denis was silent and looked perplexed ; but 
some time afterwards, when we were talking 
of other things, he called out, with the joy of 
one who has captured that elusive thing, a 
definition : 

' In Aunt Cissy's church they climb trees 
and make toffee on Sundays/ 

After which Lady Atherley seemed glad 
to take them both away with her. 

It was perhaps this remark that led the 
Canon to ask, on the way to church 

' Is it true that Mrs. de Noel attends a 
dissenting chapel ? ' 

' No,' said Lady Atherley. * But I know 
why people say so. She lent a field last year 
to the Methodists to have their camp-meeting 
in.' 



90 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' Oh ! but that is a pity/ said the Canon. 
' A very great pity a person in her position 
encouraging dissent, especially when there is 
no real occasion for it. Clara's nephew, young 
Littlemore, did something of the kind last 
year, but then he was standing for the county ; 
and though that hardly justifies, it excuses, a 
little pandering to the multitude.' 

' Cissy only let them have it once/ said 
Lady Atherley, as if making the best of it. 
' And, indeed, I believe it rained so hard that 
day they were not able to have the meeting 
after all.' 

Then the carriage stopped before the lych- 
gate, through which the fresh -faced school 
children were trooping ; and while the bell 
clanged its last monotonous summons, we 
walked up between the village graves to the 
old church porch that older yews overshadow, 
where the village lads were loitering, as 
Sunday after Sunday their sleeping fore- 
fathers had loitered before them. 

We worshipped that morning in a magnifi- 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 91 

cent pew to one side of the chancel, and quite 
as large, from which we enjoyed a full view of 
clergy and congregation. The former consisted 
of the Canon, Mr. Jackson, clergyman of the 
parish, and a young man I had not seen before. 
Not a large number had mustered to hear the 
Canon ; the front seats were well filled by men 
and women in goodly apparel, but in the 
pews behind and in the side aisles there was a 
mere sprinkling of worshippers in the Sunday 
dress of country labourers. Our supplications 
were offered with as little ritualistic pageantry 
as Mrs. Mostyn herself could have desired, 
though the choir probably sang oftener and 
better than she would have approved. In 
spite of their efforts it was as uninspiring a 
service as I have ever taken part in. This was 
not due, as might be suspected, to Atherley's 
presence, for his demeanour was irreproach- 
able. His little sons, delighted at having 
him with them, carefully found his places for 
him in prayer and hymn-book, and kept watch 
that he did not lose them afterwards, so that 



92 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

he perforce assumed a really edifying degree of 
attention. % Nor, indeed, did the rest of the 
congregation err in the direction of restless- 
ness or wandering looks, but rather in the 
opposite extreme, insomuch that during the 
litany, when we were no longer supported by 
music, and had, most of us, assumed attitudes 
favourable to repose, we appeared one and all 
to succumb to it, especially towards the close, 
when, from the body of the church at least, 
only the aged clerk was heard to cry for 
mercy. But with the third service there came 
a change, which reminded me of how once in a 
foreign cathedral, when the procession filed 
by the singing-men nudging each other, the 
standard-bearers giggling, and the English 
tourists craning to see the sight the face of 
one white-haired old bishop beneath his 
canopy transformed for me a foolish piece of 
mummery into a prayer in action. So it was 
again, when the young stranger turned to us 
his pale clear-cut face, solemn with an awe as 
rapt as if he verily stood before the throne of 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 93 

Him he called upon, and felt Its glory beating 
on his face ; then, by that one earnest and 
believing presence, all was transformed and 
redeemed ; the old emblems recovered their 
first significance, the time-worn phrases 
glowed with life again, and we ourselves 
were altered our very heaviness was pathetic : 
it was the lethargy of death itself, and our 
poor sleepy prayers the strain of manacled 
captives striving to be free. 

The Canon's sermon did not maintain 
this high-strung mood, though why not it 
would be difficult to say. Like all his, it was 
eloquent, brilliant even, declaimed by a fine 
voice of wide compass, whose varying tones he 
used with the skill of a practised orator. The 
text was ' Our conversation is in Heaven,' its 
theme the contrast between the man of this 
world, with his heart fixed upon its pomps, 
its vanities, its honours, and the believer 
indifferent to all these, esteeming them as 
dross merely compared to the heavenly 
treasure, the one thing needful. Certainly 



94 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 



the utter worthlessness of the prizes for which 
men labour and so late take rest, barter their 
happiness, their peace, their honour, was never 
more scathingly depicted. I remember the 
organ-like bass of his note in passages which 
denounced the grovelling worship of earthly 
pre-eminence and riches, the clarion-like cry 
with which he concluded a stirring eulogy 
of the Christian's nobler service of things 
unseen. 

' Brethren, as His kingdom is not of this 
world, so too our kingdom is not of this 
world/ 

' I think you will admit, George,' said Lady 
Atherley, as we left the church, ' that you have 
had a good sermon to-day.' 

' Yes, indeed,' heartily assented Atherley. 
' It was excellent. Your uncle certainly 
knows his business, which is more than can 
be said of most preachers. It was a really 
splendid performance. But who on earth was 
he talking about those wonderful people who 
don't care for money or success, or the best of 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 95 

everything generally ? I never met any like 
them.' 

' My dear George ! How extraordinary 
you are ! Any one could see, I should have 
thought, that he meant Christians.' 

Atherley and the children walked home 
while we waited for the Canon, who stayed 
behind to exchange a few words in the vestry 
with his old schoolfellow, Mr. Jackson. 

As we drove home he made, aloud, some 
reflections, probably suggested by the differ- 
ence between their positions. 

' It really grieves me to see Jackson where 
he is at his age. He deserves a better living. 
He is an excellent fellow, and not without 
ability, but wanting, unfortunately, in tact 
and savoir-faire. He always had an unhappy 
knack of blurting out the truth in season 
and out of season. I did my best to get 
him a good living once a first-rate living 
in Sir John Marsh's gift ; and I warned him 
before he went to lunch with Sir John to 
be careful what he said. " Sir John," I said, 



96 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

" is one of the old school ; he thinks the 
Squire is pope of the parish, and you will have 
to humour him a little. He will talk a great 
deal of nonsense in this strain, and be care- 
ful not to contradict him, for he can't bear 
it." But Jackson did contradict him flatly ; 
he told me so himself, and of course Sir 
John would have nothing to say to him. 
" But he made such extravagant statements," 
said Jackson. " If I had kept quiet he would 
have thought I agreed with him." "What 
did that matter ? " I said. " Once you were 
vicar you could have shown him you didn't." 
" The truth is," said Jackson, " I can- 
not sit by and hear black called white 
without protesting." That is Jackson all 
over ! A man of that kind will never get 
on. And then, such an imprudent marriage 
a woman without a penny ! ' 

' I have never seen any one who wore such 
extraordinary bonnets/ said Lady Atherley. 

' Who was that young man who bowed to 
the altar and crossed himself? ' asked the Canon. 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 97 

'I suppose that must be Mr. Austyn, 
curate in charge at Rood Warren. He comes 
over to help Mr. Jackson sometimes, I be- 
lieve. George has met him; I have not. 
I want to get him over to dinner. He is a 
nephew of Mr. Austyn of Temple Leigh.' 

' Oh, that family ! ' said the Canon. ' I 
am sorry he has taken up such an extreme 
line. It is a great mistake. In the Church, 
preferment in these days always goes to 
the moderate men.' 

' Rood Warren is not far from here/ said 

Lady Atherley, ' and he has a parishioner 

Oh, that reminds me. Mr. Lyndsay, would 
you be so kind as to look out and tell the 
coachman to drive round by Monk's ? I want 
to leave some soup.' 

' Monk, I presume, is a sick labourer ? ' 
said the Canon. 'I hope you are not as 
indiscriminate in your charities as most 
Ladies Bountiful.' 

' Mr. Jackson says this is a really deserv- 
ing case. He knows all about him, though 

H 



98 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

he really is in Mr. Austyn's parish. Monk 
has never had anything from the parish, 
and been working hard all his life, and he 
is past seventy. He was breaking stones 
on the road a few weeks ago ; but he caught 
a chill or something one very cold day, and 
has been laid up ever since. This is the 
house. Oh, Mr. Lyndsay, you should not 
trouble to get out. As you are so kind, 
will you carry this in ? ' 

The interior of the tiny thatched cottage 
was scrupulously clean and neat, as they 
nearly all are in the valley, but barer and 
more scantily furnished than most of them. 
No photographs or pictures decorated the 
white-washed walls, no scraps of carpet or 
matting hid the red-brick floor. The Monks 
were evidently of the poorest. An old piece 
of faded curtain had been hung from a rope 
between the chimney-piece and the door to 
shield the patient from the draught. He 
sat in a stiff wooden arm-chair near the fire, 
drawing his breath laboriously. 'He was 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 99 

better now,' said his wife, a nurse as old and 
as frail-looking as himself. ' Nights was the 
worst.' His shoulders were bent, his hair 
white with age, his withered features almost 
as coarse and as unshapely as the poor clothes 
he wore. The mask had been rough-hewn, to 
begin with ; time and exposure had further 
defaced it. No gleam of intellectual life 
transpierced and illumined all. It was the 
face of an animal ugly, ignorant, honest, 
patient. As I looked at it there came over 
me a rush of the pity I have so often felt 
for this suffering of age in poverty so un- 
picturesque, so unwinning, to shallow sight 
so unpathetic and I put out my hand 
and let it rest for a moment on his own, 
knotted with rheumatism, stained and seamed 
with toil. Then he looked up at me from 
under his shaggy brows with haggard, wist- 
ful eyes, and gasped : ' It's hard work, sir ; 
it's hard work.' And I went out into the 
sunshine, feeling that I had heard the epitome 
of his life. 



ioo CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

That night Mrs. Mallet surpassed herself 
by her rendering of a menu, especially com- 
posed by Atherley for the delectation of their 
guest. Their pains were not wasted. The 
Canon's commendation of each course and 
we talked of little else, I remember, from 
soup to dessert was as discriminating as it 
was warm. 

' I am glad you approve of our cook, 
Uncle,' said Lady Atherley in the drawing- 
room afterwards, ' for she is only a stop-gap. 
Our own cook left us quite suddenly the other 
day, and we had such difficulty in finding this 
one to take her place. No one can imagine 
how inconvenient it is to have a haunted house.' 

' My dear Jane, you don't mean to tell me 
you are afraid of ghosts ? ' 

' Oh no, Uncle.' 

' And I am sure your husband is not ? ' 

' No ; but unfortunately cooks are.' 

'Eh! what?' 

Then Lady Atherley willingly repeated the 
story of her troubles. 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 101 

' Preposterous ! perfectly preposterous ! ' 
cried the Canon. ' The Education Act in 
operation for all these years, and our lower 
orders still believe in bogies and hobgoblins ! 
And yet it is hardly to be wondered at ; their 
social superiors are not much wiser. The 
nonsense which is talked in society at pre- 
sent is perfectly incredible. Persons who are 
supposed to be in their right mind gravely 
relate to me such incidents that I could 
imagine myself transported to the Middle 
Ages. I hear of miraculous cures, of spirits 
summoned from the dead, of men and women 
floating in the air ; and as to diabolic posses- 
sion, it seems to have become as common as 
colds in the head.' 

He had risen, and now addressed us from 
the hearthrug. 

' Then Mrs. Molyneux and others come and 
tell me about personal friends of their own 
who can foretell everything that is going to 
happen ; who can read your inmost thoughts ; 
who can compel others to do this and to do

that, whether they like it or no ; who, being 
themselves in one quarter of the globe, con- 
stantly appear to their acquaintances in 
another. " What ! " I say. " They can be in 
two places at once, then ! Certainly no 
conjurer can equal that ! " 

' And what do they say to that ? ' asked 
Atherley. 

' Oh, they assure me the extraordinary 
beings who perform these marvels are not 
impostors, but very superior and religious 
characters. " If they are not impostors," I 
say, "then their right place is the lunatic 
asylum." " Oh but, Canon Vernade, you don't 
understand ; it is only our Western ignorance 
which makes such things seem astonishing ! 
Far more marvellous things are going on, and 
have been going on for centuries, in the East ; 
for instance, in the Brotherhoods of I forget 
some unpronounceable name." " And how 
do you know they have ? " I ask. " Oh, by 
their traditions, which have been handed on 
for generations." " That is very reliable 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 103 

information, indeed," I say. " Pray, have 
you ever played a game of Eussian scandal ? " 
" Well ; but, then, there are the sacred books. 
There can be no mistake about them, for they 
have been translated by learned European 
professors, who say the religious sentiments 
are perfectly beautiful." " Very possibly," I 
say. " But it does not follow that the his- 
torical statements are correct." 

'I gave my ladies' Bible -class a serious 
lecture about it all the other day. I said : 
" Do, my dear ladies, get rid of these childish 
notions, these uncivilised hankerings after 
marvels and magic, which make you the dupe 
of one charlatan after another. Take up 
science, for a change ; study natural philo- 
sophy ; try and acquire accurate notions of 
the system under which we live ; realise that 
we are not moving on the stage of a Christmas 
pantomime, but in a universe governed by 
fixed laws, in which the miraculous perform- 
ances you describe to me never can, and never 
could, have taken place. And be sure of this, 



104 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

that any book and any teacher, however admir- 
able their moral teaching, who tell you that 
two and two make anything but four, are not 
inspired, so far as arithmetic and common 
sense are concerned." : 

' Hear, hear ! ' cried Atherley heartily. 

The Canon's brow contracted a little. 

' I need hardly explain,' he said, ' that what 
I said did not apply to revealed truth. Jane, 
my dear, as I must leave by an early train 
to-morrow, I think I shall say good-night.' 

I fell asleep that night early, and dreamt 
that I was sitting with Gladys in the frescoed 
dining-room of an old Italian palace. It was 
night, and through the open window came 
one long shaft of moonlight, that vanished in 
the aureole of the shaded lamp standing with 
wine and fruit upon the table between us. 
And I said in my dream 

' Oh, Gladys, will it be always like this, or 
must we part again ? ' 

And she, smiling her slow soft smile, said : 
'You may stay with me till the knock comes.' 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 105 

' What knock, my darling ? ' 

But even as I spoke I heard it, low and 
penetrating, and I stretched out my arms 
imploringly towards Gladys ; but she only 
smiled, and the knock was repeated, and the 
whole scene dissolved around me, and I was 
sitting up in bed in semi -darkness, while 
somebody was tapping with a quick agitated 
touch at my door. I remembered then that 
I had forgotten to unlock it before I went 
to bed, and I rose at once and made haste 
to open it, not without a passing thrill of 
unpleasant conjecture as to what might be 
behind it. It was a tall figure in a long gray 
garment, who carried a lighted candle in his 
hand. For a moment, startled and stupefied 
as I was, I failed to recognise the livid face. 

' Canon Vernade ! You are ill ? ' 

Too ill to speak, it would seem, for without 
a word he staggered forward and sank into a 
chair, letting the candle almost drop from his 

hand on to the table beside him ; but when I 

t 

put out my hand to ring the bell, he stayed 



ro6 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

me by a gesture. I looked at him, deadly 
pale, with blue shadows about the mouth and 
eyes, his head thrown helplessly back, and 
then I remembered some brandy I had in my 
dressing-bag. He took the glass from me and 
raised it to his lips with a trembling hand. I 
stood watching him, and debating within my- 
self whether I should disobey him by calling 
for help or not; but presently, to my great 
relief, I saw the stimulant take effect, and life 
come slowly surging back in colour to his 
cheeks, in strength to his whole prostrate 
frame. He straightened himself a little, and 
turned upon me a less distracted gaze than 
before. 

'Mr. Lyndsay, there is something horrible 
in this house.' 

' Have you seen it ? ' 

He shook his head. 

' I saw nothing ; it is what I felt.' 

He shuddered. 

I looked towards the grate. The fire had 
long been out, but the wood was still uncon- 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 107 

sumed, and I managed, inexpertly enough, to 
relight it. When a long blue flame sprang 
up, he drew his chair near the hearth and 
stretched towards the blaze his still tremulous 
hands. 

' Mr. Lyndsay,' he said, in a voice as 
strangely altered as his whole appearance, 
'may I sit here a little till it is light? I 
dread to go back to that room. But don't let 
me keep you up.' 

I said, and in all honesty, that I had no 
inclination to sleep. I put on my dressing- 
gown, threw a rug over his knees, and took 
my place opposite to him on the other side of 
the fire ; and thus we kept our strange vigil, 
while slowly above us broke the grim, cold 
dawn of early spring-time, which even the 
birds do not brighten with their babble. 

Silently staring into the fire, he vouchsafed 
no further explanations, and I did not venture 
to ask for any ; but I doubt if even such lan- 
guage as he could command would have been 
so full of horrible suggestion as that gray set 



io8 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP, 

face, and the terror-stricken gaze, which the 
growing light made every minute more dis- 
tinct, more weird. What had so suddenly 
and so completely overthrown, not his own 
strength merely, but the defences of his faith ? 
He groped amongst them still, for, from time 
to time, I heard him murmuring to himself 
familiar verses of prayer and psalm and 
gospel, as if he sought therewith to banish 
some haunting fear, to quiet some torturing 
suspicion. And at last, when the dull gray 
day had fully broken, he turned towards me, 
and cried in tones more heart-piercing than 
ever startled the great congregations in church 
or cathedral 

' What if it were all a delusion, and there 
be no Father, no Saviour ? ' 

And the horror of that abyss into which he 
looked, flashing from his mind to my own, left 
me silent and helpless before him. Yet I 
longed to give him comfort ; for, with the 
regal self-possession which had fallen from 
him, there had slipped from me too some unde- 



iv CANON VERNADE'S GOSPEL 109 

fined instinct of distrust and disapproval. All 
that I felt now was the sad tie of brotherhood 
which united us, poor human atoms, strong 
only in our capacity to suffer, tossed and 
driven, whitherward we knew not, in the pur- 
poseless play of soulless and unpitying forces. 



CHAPTER V 

AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 

' HE did not see the ghost, you say ; he only 
felt it ? I should think he did on his chest. 
I never heard of a clearer case of nightmare. 
You must be careful whom you tell the story 
to, old chap ; for at the first go-off it sounds 
as if it was not merely eating too much that 
was the matter. It was, however, indigestion, 
sure enough. No wonder ! If a man of his 
age who takes no exercise will eat three 
square meals a day, what else can he ex- 
pect ? And Mallet is rather liberal with her 
cream.' 

Atherley it was, of course, who propounded 
this simple interpretation of the night's 
alarms, as he sat in his smoking-room review-

ing his trout-flies after an early breakfast we 
had taken with the Canon. 

'You always account for the mechanism, 
but not for the effect. Why should indiges- 
tion take that mental form ? ' 

' Why, because indigestion constantly does 
in sleep, and out of it as well, for that matter. 
A nightmare is not always a sense of oppres- 
sion on the chest only ; it may be an over- 
powering dread of something you dream you 
see. Indigestion can produce, waking or 
asleep, a very good imitation of what is 
experienced in a blue funk. And there is 
another kind of dream which is produced by 
fasting that, I need hardly say, I have never 
experienced. Indeed, I don't dream.' 

' But the ghost the ghost he almost saw.' 

'The sinking horror produced the ghost, 
instead of vice versd, as you might suppose. 
It is like a dream. In unpleasant dreams we 
fancy it is the dream itself which makes us 
feel uncomfortable. It is just the other way 
round. It is the discomfort that produces

the dream. Have you ever dreamt you were 
tramping through snow, and felt cold in con- 
sequence ? I did the other night. But I did 
not feel cold because I dreamt I was walking 
through snow, but because I had not enough 
blankets on my bed ; and because I felt cold 
I dreamt about the snow. Don't you know 
the dream you make up in a few moments 
about the knocking at the door when they 
call you in the morning ? And ghosts are 
only waking dreams.' 

'I wonder if you ever had an illusion 
yourself gave way to it, I mean. You were 
in love once twice,' I added hastily, in 
deference to Lady Atherley. 

' Only once,' said Atherley calmly. ' Do 
you ever see her now, Lindy ? She has 
grown enormously fat. Certainly I have had 
my illusions, and I don't object to them when 
they are pleasant and harmless on the 
contrary. Now, falling in love, if you don't 
fall too deep, is pleasant, and it never lasts 
long enough to do much mischief. Marriage,

of course, you will say, may be mischievous 
only for the individual, it is useful for the race. 
What I object to is the deliberate culture of 
illusions which are not pleasant but distinctly 
depressing, like half your religious beliefs.' 

' George/ said Lady Atherley, coming into 
the room at this instant ; ' have you oh, 
dear ! what a state this room is in ! ' 

' It is the housemaids. They never will 
leave things as I put them.' 

'And it was only dusted and tidied an 
hour ago. Mr. Lyndsay, did you ever see 
anything like it ? ' 

I said ' Never.' 

' If Lindy has a fault in this world, it is 
that he is as pernickety, as my old nurse used 
to say as pernickety as an old maid. The 
stiff formality of his room would give me the 
creeps, if anything could. The first thing I 
always want to do when I see it is to make 
hay in it/ 

' It is what you always do do, before you 
have been an hour there,' I observed.

' Jane, in Heaven's name leave those things 
alone ! Is this sort of thing all you came in 
for?' 

' No ; I really came in to ask if you had 
read Lucinda Molyneux's letter.' 

'No, I have not; her writing is too bad 
for anything. Besides, I know exactly what 
she has got to say. She has at last found the 
religion which she has been looking for all her 
life, and she intends to be whatever it is for 
evermore.' 

' That is not all. She wants to come and 
stay here for a few days.' 

' What 1 Here ? Now ? Why, what oh, 
I forgot the ghost ! By Jove ! You see, 
Jane, there are some advantages in having 
one on the premises when it procures you a 
visit from a social star like Mrs. Molyneux. 
But where are you going to put her ? Not in 
the bachelor's room, where your poor uncle 
made such a night of it? It wouldn't hold 
her dressing-bag, let alone herself.' 

' Oh, but I hope the pink room will be

ready. The plasterer from Whitford came 
out yesterday to apologise, and said he had 
been keeping his birthday/ 

' Indeed ! and how many times a year does 
he have a birthday ? ' 

' I don't know, but he was quite sober ; 
and he did the most of it yesterday and will 
finish it to-day, so it will be all right.' 

' When is she coming, then ? ' 

' To-morrow. You would have seen that if 
you had read the letter. And there is a 
message for you in it, too.' 

' Then find me the place, like an angel ; I 
cannot wade through all these sheets of 
hieroglyphics. In the postscript? Let me 
see : " Tell Sir George I look forward to 
explaining to him the religious teaching 
which I have been studying for months." 
Months ! Come ; there must be something in 
a religion which Mrs. Molyneux sticks to for 
months at a time "studying for months 
under the guidance of its great apostle Baron 
Zmkersen " What is this name ? " The

deeper I go into it all, the more I feel in it 
that faith, satisfying to the reason as well 
as to the emotions, for which I have been 
searching all my- life. It is certainly the 
religion of the future" future underlined 
" and I believe it will please even Sir George, 
for it so distinctly coincides with his own 
favourite theories." Favourite theories in- 
deed ! I haven't any. My mind is as open 
as day to truth from any quarter. Only I 
distrust apostles with no vowels in their 
names ever since that one, two years ago, 
made off with the spoons.' 

' No, George, he did not take any plate. 
It was money, and money Lucinda gave him 
herself for bringing her letters from her 
father.' 

' Where was her father, then ? ' I inquired, 
much interested. 

' Well, he was a he was dead,' answered 
Lady Atherley ; ' and after some time a very 
low sort of person called upon Lucinda and 
said she wrote all the letters ; but Lucinda 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 117 

could not get the money back without going 
to law, as some people wished her to do ; but 
I am glad she did not, as I think the 
papers would have said very unpleasant things 
about it.' 

'The apostle I liked best/ said Atherley, 
'was the American one. I really admired 
old Stamps, and old Stamps admired me ; for 
she knew I thoroughly understood what an 
unmitigated humbug she was. She had a 
fine sense of humour, too. How her eye used 
to twinkle when I asked posers at her prayer- 
meetings ! ' 

' Dreadful woman ! ' cried Lady Atherley. 
' Lucinda brought her to lunch once. Such 
black nails, and she said she could make the 
plates and dishes fly about the room, but I 
said I would rather not. I am thankful she 
does not want to bring this baron with her.' 

' I would not have him. I draw the line 
there, and also at spiritual seances. I am too 
old for them. Do you remember one I took 
you to at Mrs. Molyneux's, Lindy, five years

ago, when they raised poor old Professor 
Delaine, and he danced on the table and spelt 
bliss with one s ? I was haunted for weeks 
afterwards by the dread that there might be a 
future life, in which we should make fools of 
ourselves in the same way. What is this ? ' 

' It is the carriage just come back from the 
station. Mr. Lyndsay and the little boys are 
going over to Rood Warren with a note for 
me. I hope you will see Mr. Austyn, Mr. 
Lyndsay, and persuade him to come over to- 
morrow.' 

'What! To dine?' said Atherley. 'He 
won't come out to dinner in Lent.' 

I thought so myself, but I was glad of the 
excuse to see again the delicate, austere face. 
As we drove along, I tried to define to myself the 
quality which marked it out from others. Not 
sweetness, not marked benevolence, but the re- 
pose of absolute spiritual conviction. Austyn's 
God can never be my God, and in his heaven 
I should find no rest ; but, one among ten 
thousand, he believed in both, as the martyrs 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 119 

believed who perished in the flames, with a 
faith which would have stood the atheist's test ; 
' We believe a thing, when we are prepared 
to act as if it were true.' 

Rood Warren lay in a little hollow beside 
an armlet of the stream that waters all the 
valley. The hamlet consisted of a tiny church 
and a group of labourers' cottages, in one of 
which, presumably because there was no other 
habitation for him, the curate in charge made 
his home. An apple-faced old woman received 
me at the door, and hospitably invited me to 
wait within for Mr. Austyn's return from morn- 
ing service, which I did, while the carriage, 
with the little boys and Tip in it, drove up 
and down before the door. The room in which 
I waited, evidently the one sitting-room, was 
destitute of luxury or comfort as a monk's cell. 

Profusion there was in one thing only 
books. They indeed furnished the room, cloth- 
ing the walls and covering the table ; but 
ornaments there were none, not even sacred 
or symbolical, save, indeed, one large and 



CECILIA DE NOEL 



beautifully-carved crucifix over a mantelpiece 
covered with letters and manuscripts. I have 
thought of this early home of Austyn's many 
a time as dignities have been literally thrust 
upon him by a world which since then has 
discovered his intellectual rank. He will end 
his days in a palace, and, one may confidently 
predict of him, remain as absolutely indifferent 
to his surroundings as in the little cottage at 
Rood Warren. 

But he did not come, and presently his 
housekeeper came in with many apologies to 
explain he would not be back for hours, having 
started after service on a round of parish visit- 
ing instead of first returning home, as she had 
expected. She herself was plainly depressed 
by the fact. ' I did hope he would have come 
in for a bit of lunch first/ she said sadly. 

All I could do was to leave the note, to 
which late in the day came an answer, declining 
simply and directly on the ground that he did 
not dine out in Lent. 

' I cannot see why,' observed Lady Atherley, 



v A USTYN'S GOSPEL 121 

as we sat together over the drawing-room fire 
after tea, ' because it is possible to have a very 
nice dinner without meat. I remember one 
we had abroad once at an hotel on Good 
Friday. There were sixteen courses, chiefly 
fish, no meat even in the soup, only cream and 
eggs and that sort of thing, all beautifully 
cooked with exquisite sauces. Even George 
said he would not mind fasting in that way. It 
would have been nice if he could have come to 
meet Mrs. Molyneux to-morrow. I am sure 
they must be connected in some way, because 
Lord ' 

And then my mind wandered whilst Lady 
Atherley entered into some genealogical cal- 
culations, for which she has nothing less than a 
genius. My attention was once again captured 
by the name de Noel, how introduced I know 
not, but it gave me an excuse for asking 

SLady Atherley, what is Mrs. de Noel 
like ? ' 

' Cecilia ? She is rather tall and rather 
fair, with brown hair. Not exactly pretty, 



122 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

but very ladylike-looking. I think she would 
be very good-looking if she thought more 
about her dress.' 

* Is she clever?' 

' No, not at all ; and that is very strange, 
for the Atherleys are such a clever family, and 
she has quite the ways of a clever person, too ; 
so odd, and so stupid about little things that 
any one can remember. I don't believe she 
could tell you, if you asked her, what relation 
her husband was to Lord Stowell.' 

' She seems a great favourite.' 

' Oh, no one could possibly help liking her. 
She is the most good-natured person ; there is 
nothing she would not do to help one ; she is a 
dear thing, but most odd. so very odd. I 
often think it is so fortunate she married a 
sailor, because he is so much away from home.' 

' Don't they get on, then ?' 

' Oh dear, yes ; they are devoted to each 
other, and he thinks everything she does quite 
perfect. But then he is very different from most 
men ; he thinks so little about eating, and he 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 123 

takes everything so easy ; I don't think he cares 
what strange people Cecilia asks to the house.' 

' Strange people ! ' 

' Well ; strange people to have on a visit. 
Invalids and people that have nowhere else 
they could go to.' 

' Do you mean poor people from the East 
End?' 

' Oh no ; some of them are quite rich. 
She had an idiot there with his mother once 
who was heir to a very large fortune in the 
colonies somewhere ; but of course nobody 
else would have had them, and I think it 
must have been very uncomfortable. And 
then once she actually had a woman who had 
taken to drinking. I did not see her, I am 
thankful to say, but there was a deformed 
person once staying there, I saw him being 
wheeled about the garden. It was very un- 
pleasant. I think people like that should 
always live shut up.' 

There was a little pause, and then Lady 
Atherley added 



124 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

'Cecilia has never been the same since her 
baby died. She used to have such a bright 
colour before that. He was not quite two 
years old, but she felt it dreadfully ; and it 
was a great pity, for if he had lived he would 
have come in for all the Stowell property/ 

The door opened. 

' Why, George ; how late you are, and 
how wet ! Is it raining ? ' 

'Yes; hard.' 

' Have you bought the ponies ? ' 

' No ; they won't do at all. But whom do 
you think I picked up on the way home? 
You will never guess. Your pet parson, Mr. 
Austyn.' 

' Mr. Austyn ! ' 

' Yes ; I found him by the roadside not far 
from Monk's cottage, where he had been 
visiting, looking sadly at a spring-cart, which 
the owner thereof, one of the Rood Warren 
farmers, had managed to upset and damage 
considerably. He was giving Austyn a lift 
home when the spill took place. So, remem- 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 125 

bering your hankering and Lindy's for the 
society of this young Ritualist, I persuaded 
him that instead of tramping six miles through 
the wet he should come here and put up for 
the night with us ; so, leaving the farmer free 
to get home on his pony, I clinched the matter 
by promising to send him back to-morrow in 
time for his eight o'clock service.' 

' Oh dear ! I wish I had known he was 
coming. I would have ordered a dinner he 
would like.' 

'Judging by his appearance, I should say 
the dinner he would like will be easily provided.' 

Atherley was right. Mr. Austyn's dinner 
consisted of soup, bread, and water. He 
would not even touch the fish or the eggs 
elaborately prepared for his especial benefit. 
Yet he was far from being a skeleton at the 
feast, to whose immaterial side he contributed 
a good deal not taking the lead in conversa- 
tion, but readily following whosoever did, giv- 
ing his opinions on one topic after another in 
the manner of a man well informed, cultured, 



126 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

thoughtful, original even, and at the same 
time with no warmer interest in all he spoke 
of than the inhabitant of another planet might 
have shown. 

Atherley was impressed and even surprised 
to a degree unflattering to the rural clergy. 

' This is indeed a rara avis of a country 
curate,' he confided to me after dinner, while 
Lady Atherley was unravelling with Austyn 
his connection with various families of her 
acquaintance. ' We shall hear of him in time 
to come, if, in the meanwhile, he does not 
starve himself to death. By the way, I lay 
you odds he sees the ghost. To begin with, 
he has heard of it everybody has in this 
neighbourhood ; and then St. Anthony himself 
was never in a more favourable condition for 
spiritual visitations. Look at him ; he is blue 
with asceticism. But he won't turn tail to the 
ghost; he'll hold his own. There's metal in him.' 

This led me to ask Austyn, as we went down 
the bachelor's passage to our rooms, if he were 
afraid of ghosts. 



v ALUTYN'S GOSPEL 127 

' No ; that is, I don't feel any fear now. 
Whether I should do so if face to face with 
one, is another question. This house has the 
reputation of being haunted, I believe. Have 
you seen the ghost yourself?' 

'No, but I have seen others who did, 
or thought they did. Do you believe in 
ghosts ? ' 

' I do not know that I have considered 
the subject sufficiently to say whether I 
do or not. I see no primd fa.de objection 
to their appearance. That it would be super- 
natural offers no difficulty to a Christian 
whose religion is founded on, and bound up 
with the supernatural.' 

' If you do see anything, I should like 
to know.' 

I went away, wondering why he repelled 
as well as attracted me ; what it was behind 
the almost awe-inspiring purity and earnest- 
ness I felt in him that left me with a chill 
sense of disappointment? The question was 
so perplexing and so interesting that I 



CECILIA DE NOEL 



determined to follow it up next day, and 
ordered rny servant to call me as early as 
Mr. Austyn was wakened. 

In the morning I had just finished 
dressing, but had not put out my candles, 
when a knock at the door was followed by 
the entrance of Austyn himself. 

' I did not expect to find you up, Mr. 
Lyndsay ; I knocked gently, lest you should 
be asleep. In case you were not, I intended 
to come and tell you that I had seen the ghost.' 

'Breakfast is ready/ said a servant at 
the door. 

'Let me come down with you and hear 
about it,' I said. 

We went down through staircase and 
hall, still plunged in darkness, to the dining- 
room, where lamps and fire burned brightly. 
Their glow falling on Austyn's face showed 
me how pale it was, and worn as if from 
watching. 

Breakfast was set ready for him, but he 
refused to touch it. 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 129 

* But tell me what you saw.' 

' I must have slept two or three hours 
when I awoke with the feeling that there 
was some one besides myself in the room. 
I thought at first it was the remains of a 
dream and would quickly fade away ; but 
it did not, it grew stronger. Then I raised 
myself in bed and looked round. The 
space between the sash of the window 
and the curtains my shutters were not 
closed allowed one narrow stream of 
moonlight to enter and lie across the 
floor. Near this, standing on the brink 
of it, as it were, and rising dark against it, 
was a shadowy figure. Nothing was clearly 
outlined but the face ; that I saw only too 
distinctly. I rose and remained up for at 
least an hour before it vanished. I heard 
the clock outside strike the hour twice. 
I was not looking at it all this time on 
the contrary, my hands were clasped across 
my closed eyes ; but when from time to 
time I turned to see if it was gone, it was 

K 



130 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

always there immovable, watchful. It 
reminded me of a wild beast waiting to 
spring, and I seemed to myself to be hold- 
ing it at bay all the time with a great 
strain of the will, and, of course' he 
hesitated for an instant, and then added 
' in virtue of a higher power.' 

The reserve of all his school forbade him 
to say more, but I understood as well as 
if he had told me that he had been on his 
knees, praying all the time, and there rose 
before my mind a picture of the scene 
moonlight, kneeling saint and watching 
demon, which the leaf of some illustrated 
missal might have furnished. 

The bronze timepiece over the fireplace 
struck half-past six. 

' I wonder if the carriage is at the door/ 
said Austyn rather anxiously. He went 
into the hall and looked out through the 
narrow windows. There was no carriage 
visible, and I deeply regretted the second in- 
terruption that must follow when it did come. 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 131 

' Let us walk up the liill and on a little 
way together. The carriage will overtake 
us. My curiosity is not yet satisfied.' 

' Then first, Mr. Lyndsay, you must go 
back and drink some coffee ; you are not 
strong as I am, or accustomed to go out 
fasting into the morning air.' 

Outside in the shadow of the hill, where 
the fog lay thick and white, the gloom and 
the cold of the night still lingered, but as 
we climbed the hill we climbed, too, into 
the brightness of a sunny morning brilliant, 
amber-tinted above the long blue shadows. 

I had to speak first. 
' Now tell me what the face was like.' 
'I do not think I can. To begin with, 
I have a very indistinct remembrance of 
either the form or the colouring. Even at 
the time my impression of both was very 
vague ; what so overwhelmed and transfixed 
my attention, to the exclusion of everything 
besides itself, was the look upon the face.' 



132 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

'And that?' 

'And that I literally cannot describe. 
I know no words that could depict it, no 
images that could suggest it ; you might 
as well ask me to tell you what a new colour 
was like if I had seen it in my dreams, as 
some people declare they have done. I 
could convey some faint idea of it by 
describing its effect upon myself, but that 
too is very difficult that was like nothing 
I have ever felt before. It was the realisa- 
tion of much which I have affirmed all my 
life, and steadfastly believed as well, but 
only with what might be called a notional 
assent, as the blind man might believe 
that light is sweet, or one who had never 
experienced pain might believe it was some- 
thing from which the senses shrink. Every 
day that I have recited the creed, and 
declared my belief in the Life Everlasting, 
I have by implication confessed my entire 
disbelief in any other. I knew that what 
seems so solid is not solid, so real is not 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 133 

real ; that the life of the flesh, of the senses, 
of things seen, is but the " stuff that dreams 
are made of" "a dream within a dream," as 
one modern writer has called it ; " the shadow 
of a dream," as another has it. But last 
night ' 

He stood still, gazing straight before him, 
as if he saw something that I could not see. 

' But last night ? ' I repeated, as we walked 
on again. 

' Last night ? I not only believed, I saw, I 
felt it with a sudden intuition conveyed to me 
in some inexplicable manner by the vision of 
that face. I felt the utter insignificance of 
what we name existence, and I perceived too 
behind it that which it conceals from us the 
real Life, illimitable, unfathomable, the element 
of our true being with its eternal possibilities 
of misery or joy.' 

'And all this came to you through some- 
thing of an evil nature ? ' 

' Yes ; it was like the effect of lightning 
on a pitch-dark night the same vivid and 



134 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

lurid illumination of things unperceived before. 
It must be like the revelation of death, I 
should think, without, thank God, that fearful 
sense of the irrevocable which death must 
bring with it. "Will you not rest here ? ' 

For we had reached Beggar's Stile. But I 
was not tired for once, so keen, so life-giving 
was the air, sparkling with that fine elixir 
whereby morning braces us for the day's 
conflict. Below, through slowly - dissolving 
mists, the village showed as if it smiled, each 
little cottage hearth lifting its soft spiral 
of smoke to a zenith immeasurably deep, im- 
maculately blue. 

' But the ghost itself ? ' I said, looking up at 
him as we both rested our arms upon the gate. 
' What do you think of that ? ' 

' I am afraid there is no possible doubt 
what that was. Its face, as I tell you, was a 
revelation of evil evil and its punishment. 
It was a lost soul.' 

' Do you mean by a lost soul, a soul that is 
in never-ending torment ? ' 



v AUSTYWS GOSPEL 135 

' Not in physical torment certainly ; that 
would be a very material interpretation of the 
doctrine. Besides, the Church has always 
recognised degree and difference in the punish- 
ment of the lost. This, however, they all have 
in common eternal separation from the 
Divine Being.' 

'Even if they repent and desire to be 
reunited to Him ? ' 

' Certainly ; that must be part of their 
suffering.' 

' And yet you believe in a good God ? ' 

' In what else could I believe even without 
revelation ? But goodness, divine goodness, is 
far from excluding severity and wrath, and 
even vengeance. Here the witness of science 
and of history are in accord with that of the 
Christian Church ; their first manifestation of 
God is always of " one that is angry with us 
and threatens evil." 

The carriage had overtaken us and stopped 
now close to us. I rose to say good-bye. 
Austyn shook me by the hand and moved 



136 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

towards the carriage ; then, as if checked by a 
sudden thought, returned upon his steps and 
stood before me, his earnest eyes fixed upon 
me as if the whole self-denying soul within 
him hungered to waken mine. 

' I feel I must speak one word before I 
leave you, even if it be out of season. With 
the recollection of last night still so fresh, 
even the serious things of life seem trifles, 
far more its small conventionalities. Mr. 
Lyndsay, your frienol has made his choice, but 
you are dallying between belief and unbelief. 
Oh, do not dally long ! We need no spirit 
from the dead to tell us life is short. Do we 
not feel it passing quicker and quicker every 
year ? The one thing that is serious in all its 
shows and delusions is the question it puts to 
each one of us, and which we answer to our 
eternal loss or gain. Many different voices 
call to us in this age of false prophets, but 
one only threatens as well as invites. Would 
it not be only wise, prudent even, to give the 
preference to that? Mr. Lyndsay, I beseech 



v AUSTYN'S GOSPEL 137 

you, accept the teaching of the Church, which 
is one with that of conscience and of nature, 
and believe that there is a God, a Sovereign, 
a Lawgiver, a Judge.' 

He was gone, and I still stood thinking of 
his words, and of his gaze while he spoke 
them. 

The mists were all gone, now, leaving behind 
them in shimmering dewdrops an iridescent 
veil on mead and copse and garden ; the river 
gleamed in diamond curves and loops, while 
in the covert near me the birds were singing 
as if from hearts that over-brimmed with 



And slowly, sadly, I repeated to myself 
the words Sovereign, Lawgiver, Judge. 

I was hungering for bread ; I was given a 
stone. 



CHAPTER VI 

MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 

'THE room is all ready now,' said Lady 
Atherley, ' but Lucinda has never written to 
say what train she is coming by.' 

' A good thing too,' said Atherley ; c we 
shall not have to send for her. Those un- 
lucky horses are worked off their legs already. 
Is that the carriage coming back from Rood 
Warren ? Harold, run and stop it, and tell 
Marsh to drive round to the door before he 
goes to the stables. I may as well have a 
lift down to the other end of the village.' 

' What do you want to do at the other end 
of the village ? ' 

' I don't want to do anything, but my 
unlucky fate as a landowner compels me to 



CHAP, vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 139 

go over and look at an eel -weir which has 
just burst. Lindy, come along with me, and 
cheer me up with one of your ghost stories. 
You are as good as a Christmas annual.' 

' And on your way back/ said Lady Ather- 
ley, ' would you mind the carriage stopping to 
leave some brandy at Monk's ? Mr. Austyn 
told me last night he was so weak, and the 
doctor has ordered him brandy every hour.' 

Atherley was disappointed with what he 
called my last edition of the ghost ; he com- 
plained that it was little more definite than

'Your last two stories are too highflown 
for my simple tastes. I want a good co- 
herent description of the ghost himself, not 
the peculiar emotions he excited. I had ex- 
pected better things from Austyn. Upon 
my word, as far as we have gone, old Aunt 
Eleanour's is the best. I think Austyn, with 
his mediaeval turn of mind and his quite 
mediaeval habit of living upon air, might 
have managed to raise something with horns

and hoofs. It is a curious thing that in the 
dark ages the devil was always appearing 
to somebody. He doesn't make himself so 
cheap now. He has evidently more to do ; 
but there is a fashion in ghosts as in other 
things, and that reminds me our ghost, from 
all we hear of it, is decidedly rococo. If 
you study the reports of societies that hunt 
the supernatural, you will find that the latest 
thing in ghosts is very quiet and common- 
place. Battling chains and blue lights, and 
even fancy dress, have quite gone out. And 
the people who see the ghosts are not even 
startled at first sight; they think it is a 
visitor, or a man come to wind the clocks. 
In fact, the chic thing for a ghost in these 
days is to be mistaken for a living person.' 

'What puzzles me is that a sceptic like 
you can so easily swallow the astonishing 
coincidence of these different people all having 
imagined the ghost in the same house.' 

' Why, the coincidence is not a bit more 
astonishing than several people in the same

place having the same fever. Nothing in the 
world is so infectious as ghost-seeing. The 
oftener a ghost- is seen, the oftener it will be 
seen. In this sort of thing particularly, one 
fool makes many. No, don't wait for me. 
Heaven only knows when I shall be released.' 

The door of Monk's cottage was open, but 
no one was to be seen within, and no one 
answered to my knock, so, anxious to see 
him again, I groped my way up the dark 
ladder -like stairs to the room above. The 
first thing I saw was the bed where Monk 
himself was lying. They had drawn the 
sheet across his face : I saw what had hap- 
pened. His wife was standing near, looking 
not so much grieved as stunned and tired. 
' Would you like to see him, sir ? ' she asked, 
stretching out her withered hand to draw the 
sheet aside. I was glad afterwards I had not 
refused, as, but for fear of being ungracious, 
I would have done. 

Since then I have seen death ' in state/ 
as it is called invested with more than royal 



142 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

pomp, but I have never felt his presence so 
majestic as in that poor little garret. I know 
his seal may be painful, grotesque even : 
here it was wholly benign and beautiful. 
All discolorations had disappeared in an even 
pallor as of old ivory ; all furrows of age and 
pain were smoothed away, and the rude 
peasant face was transfigured, glorified, by 
that smile of ineffable and triumphant repose. 
Many times that day it rose before me, 
never more vividly than when, at dinner, 
Mrs. Molyneux, in colours as brilliant as her 
complexion, and jewels as sparkling as her 
eyes, recounted in her silvery treble the 
latest flowers of fashionable gossip. I am 
always glad to be one of any audience which 
Mrs. Molyneux addresses, not so much out of 
admiration for the discourse itself, as for the 
charm of gesture and intonation with which 
it is delivered. But the main question the 
subject of Atherley's conversion she did not 
approach till we were in the drawing-room, 
luxuriously established in deep and softly- 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPE.L 143 

cushioned chairs. Then, near the fire, but 
turned away from it so as to face us all, and 
in the prettiest of attitudes, she began, grace- 
fully emphasising her more important points 
by movements of her spangled fan. 

' I do not mention the name of the reli- 
gion I wish to speak to you about, because 
now I hope you won't be angry, but I am 
going to be quite horribly rude because Sir 
George is certain to be so prejudiced against 
oh yes, Sir George, you are ; everybody is 
at first. Even I was, because it has been so 
horribly misrepresented by people who really 
know nothing about it. For instance, I have 
myself heard it said that it was only a kind 
of spiritualism. On the contrary, it is very 
much opposed to it, and has quite convinced 
me for one of the wickedness and danger of 
spiritualism.' 

'Well, that is so much to its credit,' 
Atherley generously acknowledged. 

' And then, people said it was very immoral. 
Far from that ; it has a very high ethical 



144 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

standard indeed a very high moral aim. One 
of its chief objects is to establish a universal 
brotherhood amongst men of all nations and 
sects.' 

' A what ? ' asked Atherley. 

' A universal brotherhood.' 

' My dear Mrs. Molyneux, you don't mean 
to seriously offer that as a novelty. I never 
heard anything so hackneyed in my life. 
Why, it has been preached ad nauseam for 
centuries ! ' 

' By the Christian Church, I suppose you 
mean. And, pray, how have they practised 
their preaching ? ' 

' Oh, but excuse me ; that is not the ques- 
tion. If your religion is as brand-new as you 
gave me to understand, there has been no time 
for practice. It must be all theory, and I 
hoped I was going to hear something original.' 

' Oh really, Sir George, you are quite too 
naughty. How can I explain things if you 
are so flippant and impatient ? In one sense 
it is a very old religion ; it is the truth which 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 145 

is in all religions, and some of its interesting 
doctrines were taught ages before Christianity 
was ever heard of, and proved, too, by miracles 
far far more wonderful than any in the New 
Testament. However, it is no good talking to 
you about that ; what I really wanted you to 
understand is how infinitely superior it is to 
all other religions in its theological teaching. 
You know, Sir George, you are always finding 
fault with all the Christian Churches and even 
with the Mahommedans too, for that matter 
because they are so anthropomorphous, because 
they imply that God is a personal being. 
Very well, then, you cannot say that about 
this religion, because this is what is so 
remarkable and elevated about it it has 
nothing to do with God at all.' 

' Nothing to do with what did you say ? ' 
asked Lady Atherley, diverted by this last 
remark from a long row of loops upon an 
ivory needle which she appeared to be 
counting. 

'Nothing to do with God.' 



146 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' Do you know, Lucinda/ said Lady Ather- 
ley, ' if you would not mind, I fancy the coffee 
is just coming in, and perhaps it would be as 
well just to wait for a little, you know just 
till the servants are out of the room ? They 
might perhaps think it a little odd.' 

' Yes/ said Atherley, ' and even un- 
orthodox.' 

Mrs. Molyneux submitted to this interrup- 
tion with the greatest sweetness and com- 
posure, and dilated on the beauty of the new 
chair -covers till Castleman and the footman 
had retired, when, with a coffee-cup instead of 
a fan in her exquisite ha,nd, she took up the 
thread of her exposition. 

'As I was saying, the distinction of this 
religion is that it has nothing to do with God. 
Of course it has other great advantages, which 
I will explain later, like its cultivation of a 
sixth sense, for instance ' 

' Do you mean common sense ? ' 

'Jane, what am I to do with Sir 
George? He is really incorrigible. How 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 147 

can I possibly explain things if you will not 
be serious ? ' 

' I never was more serious in my life. 
Show me a religion which cultivates common 
sense, and I will embrace it at once/ 

' It is just because I knew you would go on 
in this way that I do not attempt to say any- 
thing about the supernatural side of this 
religion, though it is very important and most 
extraordinary. I assure you, my dear Jane, 
the powers that people develop under it are 
really marvellous. I have friends who can 
see into another world as plainly as you can 
see this drawing-room, and talk as easily with 
spirits as I am talking with you.' 

' Indeed ! ' said Lady Atherley politely, 
with her eyes fixed anxiously on something 
which had gone wrong with her knitting. 

' Unfortunately, for that kind of thing you 
require to undergo such severe treatment ; my 
health would not stand it ; the London season 
itself is almost too much for me. It is a pity, 
for they all say I have great natural gifts that

way, and I should have so loved to have taken 
it up ; but to begin with, one must have no 
animal food and no stimulants, and the 
doctors always tell me I require a great deal 
of both.' 

' Besides, le jeu ne vaut pas la chandette,' 
said Atherley, *if the spirits you are to con- 
verse with are anything like those we used to 
meet in your drawing-room.' 

' That is not the same thing at all ; these 
were only spooks.' 

'Only what?' 

' No, I will not explain ; you only mean to 
make fun of it, and there is nothing to laugh 
at. What I am trying to show you is that 
side of the religion you will really approve 
the unanthropomorphous side. It is not any- 
thing like atheism, you know, as some ill- 
natured people have said ; it does not declare 
there is no God ; it only declares that it is 
worse than useless to try and think of Him, 
far less pray to Him because it is simply 
impossible. And that is quite scientific and 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 149 

philosophical, is it not? For all the great 
men are agreed now that the conditioned can 
know nothing of the unconditioned, and the 
finite can know nothing of the infinite. It is 
quite absurd to try, you know; and it is 
equally absurd to say anything about Him. 
You can't call Him Providence, because, as the 
universe is governed by fixed laws, there is 
nothing for Him to provide ; and we have no 
business to call Him Creator, because we 
don't really know that things were created. 
Besides,' said Mrs. Molyneux, resuming her 
fan, which she furled and unfurled as she 
continued, ' I was reading in a delightful book 
the other day I can't remember the author's 
name, but I think it begins with K or P. It 
explained so clearly that if the universe was 
created at all, it was created by the human 
mind. Then you can't call Him Father it is 
quite blasphemous ; and it is almost as bad to 
say He is merciful or loving, or anything of 
that kind, because mercy and love are only 
human attributes ; and so is consciousness too, 



i$o CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

therefore we know He cannot be conscious ; 
and I believe, according to the highest philo- 
sophical teaching, He has not any Being. So 
that altogether it is impossible, without being 
irreverent, to think of Him, far less speak to 
Him or of Him, because we cannot do so 
without ascribing to Him some conceivable 
quality and He has not any. Indeed, even 
to speak of Him as He is not right ; the pro- 
noun is very anthropomorphous and mislead- 
ing. So, when you come to consider all this 
carefully, it is quite evident though it sounds 
rather strange at first that the only way you 
can really honour and reverence God is by 
forgetting Him altogether.' 

Here Mrs. Molyneux paused, panting 
prettily for breath ; but quickly recovering 
herself, proceeded : ' So, in fact, it is just the 
same, practically speaking remember I say 
only practically speaking as if there were no 
God ; and this religion ' 

' Excuse me/ said Atherley ; ' but if, as you 
have so forcibly explained to us, there is, prac- 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 151 

tically speaking, no God, why should we 
hamper ourselves with any religion at all ? ' 

' Why, to satisfy the universal craving 
after an ideal ; the yearning for something 
beyond the sordid realities of animal existence 
and of daily life ; to comfort, to elevate ' 

1 No, no, my dear Mrs. Molyneux ; pardon 
me, but the sooner we get rid of all this sort 
of rubbish the better. It is the indulgence 
they have given to such feelings that has 
made all the religions such a curse to the 
world. I don't believe, to begin with, that they 
are universal. I never experienced any such 
cravings .and yearnings except when I was out 
of sorts ; and I never met a thoroughly happy 
or healthy person who did. If people keep 
their bodies in good order and their minds 
well employed, they have no time for yearn- 
ings. It was bad enough when there was 
some pretext for them ; when we imagined 
there was a God and a world which was better 
than this one. But now we know there is not 
the slightest ground for supposing anything 



152 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP 

of the kind, we had better have the courage 
of our opinions, and live up to them, or down 
to them. As to the word " ideal," it ought to 
be expunged from the vocabulary; I would 
like to make it penal to pronounce, or write, 
or print the word for a century. Why, we 
have been surfeited with the ideal by the 
Christian Churches ; that's why we find the 
real so little to our taste. We've been so 
long fed upon sweet trash, we can't relish 
wholesome food. The cure for that is to 
take wholesome food or starve, not provide 
another sickly substitute. Pray, let us have 
no more religions. On the contrary, our first 
duty is to be as irreligious as possible to 
believe in as little as we can, to trust in 
nobody but ourselves, to hope for nothing 
but the actual, to get rid of all high-flown 
notions of human beings and their destiny, 
and, above all, to avoid like poison the ideal, 

the sublime, the '

cries of indignation from Mrs. Molyneux. I

remember no more of the discussion, except 
that Atherley continued to reiterate his doc- 
trine in different words, and Mrs. Molyneux 
to denounce it with unabated fervour. 

My thoughts wandered I heard no more. 
I was tired and depressed, and felt grateful to 
Lady Atherley when, with invariable punc- 
tuality, at a quarter to eleven, she interrupted 
the symposium by rising and proposing that 
we should all go to bed. 

My last distinct recollection of that evening 
is of Mrs. Molyneux, with the folds of her 
gown in one hand, and a bedroom candlestick 
in the other, mounting the dark oak stairs, 
and calling out fervently as she went 

' Oh, how I pray that I may see the 
ghost ! ' 

The night was stormy, and I could not 
sleep. The wind wailed fitfully outside the 
house, while within doors and windows 
rattled, and on the stairs and in the passages 
wandered strange and unaccountable noises, 
like stealthy footsteps or stifled voices. To 



154 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

this dreary accompaniment, as I lay awake in 
the darkness, I heard the lessons of the last 
few days repeated : witness after witness 
rose and gave his varying testimony ; and 
when, before the discord and irony of it all, 
I bitterly repeated Pilate's question, the smile 
on that dead face would rise before me, and 
then I hoped again. 

Between three and four the wind fell 
during a short space, and all responsive noises 
ceased. For a few minutes reigned absolute 
silence, then it was broken by two piercing 
cries the cries of a woman in terror or in 
pain. 

They disturbed even the sleepers, it was 
evident ; for when I reached the end of my 
passage I heard opening doors, hurrying foot- 
steps, and bells ringing violently in the 
gallery. After a little the stir was increased, 
presumably by servants arriving from the 
farther wing ; but no one came my way till 
Atherley himself, in his dressing-gown, went 
hurriedly downstairs. 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL , 155 

' Anything wrong ? ' I called as lie passed 
me. 

' Only Mrs. Molyneux's prayer has been 
granted.' 

' Of course she was bound to see it/ he 
said next day, as we sat together over a late 
breakfast. ' It would have been a miracle 
if she had not ; but if I had known the inter- 
view was to be followed by such unpleasant 
consequences I shouldn't have asked her 
down. I was wandering about for hours 
looking for an imaginary bottle of sal-volatile 
Jane described as being in her sitting-room ; 
and Jane herself was up till late or rather 
early this morning, trying to soothe Mrs. 
Molyneux, who does not appear to have found 
the ghost quite such pleasant company as she 
expected. Oh yes, Jane is down ; she break- 
fasted in her own room. I believe she is order- 
ing dinner at this minute in the next room.' 

Hardly had he said the words when out- 
side, in the hall, resounded a prolonged and 
stentorian wail. 



156 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' What on earth is the matter now ? ' said 
Atherley, rising and making for the door. 
He opened it just in time for us to see Mrs. 
Mallet go by Mrs. Mallet bathed in tears 
and weeping as I never have heard an adult 
weep before or since in a manner which is 
graphically and literally described by the 
phrase ' roaring and crying.' 

' Why, Mrs. Mallet ! What on earth is the 
matter ? ' 

' Send for Mrs. de Noel/ cried Mrs. Mallet 
in tones necessarily raised to a high and 
piercing key by the sobs with which they 
were accompanied. ' Send for Mrs. de Noel ; 
send for that dear lady, and she will tell 
you whether a word has been said against 
my character till I come here, which I never 
wish to do, being frightened pretty nigh to 
death with what one told me and the other ; 
and if you don't believe me, ask Mrs. Stubbs 
as keeps the little sweet-shop near the church, 
if any one in the village will so much as come 
up the avenue after dark ; and says to me, 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 157 

the very day I come here, "You have a 
nerve," she says ; " I wouldn't sleep there 
if you was to pay me," she says ; and I says, 
not wishing to speak against a family that 
was cousin to Mrs. de Noel, " Noises is neither 
here nor there," I says, " and ghostisses keeps 
mostly to the gentry's wing," I says. And 
then to say as I put about that they was all 
over the house, and frighten the London 
lady's maid, which all I said was and Hann 
can tell you that I speak the truth, for she 
was there " some says one thing," says I, 
" and some says another, but I takes no notice 
of no think." But put up with a deal, I have 
more than ever I told a soul since I come 
here, which I promised Mrs. de Noel when 
she asked me to oblige her ; which the blue 
lights I have seen a many times, and tapping 
of coffin -nails on the wall, and never close 
my eyes for nights sometimes, but am entirely 
wore away, and my nerve that weak ; and 
then to be so hurt in my feelings, and spoke 
to as I am not accustomed, but always treated

everywhere I goes with the greatest of kind- 
ness and respect, which ask Mrs. de Noel 
she will tell you, since ever I was a widow ; 
but pack my things I will, and walk every 
step of the way, if it was pouring cats and 
dogs, I would, rather than stay another 
minute here to be so put upon ; and send 
for Mrs. de Noel if you don't believe me, 
and she will tell you the many high families 
she recommended me, and always give satis- 
faction. Send for Mrs. de Noel ' 

The swing door closed behind her, and 
the sounds of her grief and her reiterated 
appeals to Mrs. de Noel died slowly away in 
the distance. 

'What on earth have you been saying to 
her ? ' said Atherley to his wife, who had come 
out into the hall. 

' Only that she behaved very badly indeed 
in speaking about the ghost to Mrs. Molyneux's 
maid, who, of course, repeated it all directly 
and made Lucinda nervous. She is a most 
troublesome, mischievous old woman.' 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 159 

' But she can cook. Pray what are we to 

do for dinner ? ' 

' I am sure I don't know. I never knew 

anything so unlucky as it all is, and Lucinda 

looking so ill.' 

' Well, you had better send for the doctor.' 
' She won't hear of it. She says nobody 

could do her any good but Cecilia.' 

' What ! " Send for Mrs. de Noel ? " Poor 

Cissy ! What do these excited females imagine 

she is going to do?' 

' I don't know, but I do wish we could get 

her here.' 

'But she is in London, is she not, with 

Aunt Henrietta ? ' 

' Yes, and only comes home to-day.' 

' Well, I will tell you what we might do if 

you want her badly. Telegraph to her to 

London and ask her to come straight on here.' 
' I suppose she is sure to come ? ' 
' Like a shot, if you say we are all ill.' 
' No, that would frighten her. I will just 

say we want her particularly.' 



160 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' Yes, and say the carriage shall meet the 
5.15 at Whitford station, and then she will 
feel bound to come. And as I shall not be 
back in time, send Lindy to meet her. It 
will do him good. He looks as if he had been 
sitting up all night with the ghost.' 

It was a melancholy day. The wind was 
quieter, but the rain still fell. Indoors we 
were all in low spirits, not even excepting the 
little boys, much concerned about Tip, who 
was not his usual brisk and complacent self. 
His nose was hot, his little stump of a tail was 
limp, he hid himself under chairs and tables, 
whence he turned upon us sorrowful and 
beseeching eyes, and, most alarming symptom 
of all, refused sweet biscuits. During the 
afternoon he was confided to me by his little 
masters while they made an expedition to the 
stables, and I was sitting reading by the 
library fire with the invalid beside me when 
Lady Atherley came in to propose I should go 
into the drawing-room and talk to Mrs. Moly- 
neux, who had just come down. 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 161 

' Did she ask to see me ? ' 

' No ; but when I proposed your going in, 
she did not say no/ 

I did as I was asked to do, but with some 
misgivings. It was one of the few occasions 
when my misfortune became an advantage. 
No one, especially no woman, was likely to 
rebuff too sharply the intruder who dragged 
himself into her presence. So far from that, 
Mrs. Molyneux, who was leaning against the 
mantelpiece and looking down listlessly into 
the fire, moved to welcome me with a smile 
and to offer me a hand startlingly cold. But 
after that she resumed her first attitude and 
made no attempt to converse she, the most 
ready, the most voluble of women. Then 
followed an awkward pause, which I des- 
perately broke by saying I was afraid she was 
not better. 

' Better ! I was not ill/ she answered, 
almost impatiently, and walked away towards 
the other side of the room. I understood that 
she wished to be alone, and was moving to-

wards the door as quietly as possible when I 

was suddenly checked by her hand upon my 

elbow. 

' Mr. Lyndsay, why are you going ? Was 

I rude ? I did not mean to be. Forgive me ; 

I am so miserable.' 

' You could not be rude, I think, even if 

you wished to. It is I who am inconsiderate 

in intruding ' 

'You are not intruding; please stay.' 
' I would gladly stay if I could help you/ 
' Can any one help me, I wonder ?' 
She went slowly back to the fire and sat 

down upon the fender-stool, and resting her 

chin upon her hand, and looking dreamily 

before her, repeated 

' Can any one help me, I wonder ? ' 

I sat down on a chair near her and said 

' Do you think it would help you to talk of 

what has frightened you ? ' 

' I don't think I can. I would tell you, 

Mr. Lyndsay, if I could tell any one ; for you 

know what it is to be weak and suffering ; you 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 163 

are as sympathetic as a woman, and more 
merciful than some women. But part of the 
horror of it all is that I cannot explain it. 
Words seem to be no good, just because I 
have used them so easily and so meaninglessly 
all my life just as words and nothing more.' 
' Can you tell me what you saw ? ' 
' A face, only a face, when I woke up sud- 
denly. It looked as if it were painted on the 
darkness. But oh, the dreadfulness of it and 
what it brought with it ! Do you remember 
the line, " Bring with you airs from heaven or 
blasts from hell " ? Yes, it was in hell, because 
hell is not a great gulf, like Dante described, 
and I used to think ; it is no place at all it 
is something we make ourselves. I felt all 
this as I saw the face, for we ourselves are not 
what we think. Part of what I used to play 
with was true enough ; it is all Maya, a de- 
lusion, this sense life it is no life at all. The 
actual life is behind, under it all ; it goes deep 
deep down, it stretches on, on and yet it has 
nothing to do with space or time. I feel as if 



1 64 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

I were beating myself against a stone wall. 
My words can have no sense for you any more 
than they would have had for me yesterday.' 

' But tell me, why should this discovery of 
this other life make you so miserable ? ' 

' Oh, because it brings such a want with it. 
How can I explain ? It is like a poor wretch 
stupefied with drink. Don't you know the 
poor creatures in the East-end sometimes drink 
just that they may not feel how hungry and 
how cold they are ? " They remember their 
misery no more." Is the life of the world and 
of outward things like that, if we live too 
much in it ? I used to be so contented with 
it all its pleasures, its little triumphs, even its 
gossip ; and what I called my aspirations I 
satisfied with what was nothing more than 
phrases. And now I have found my real self, 
now I am awake, I want much more, and there 
is nothing only a great silence, a great loneli- 
ness like that in the face. And the theories 
I talked about are no comfort any more ; they 
are just like pretty speeches would be to a

person in torture. Oh, Mr. Lyndsay, I always 
feel that you are real, that you are good ; tell 
me what you know. Is there nothing but 
this dark void beyond when life falls away 
from us ? ' 

She lifted towards me a face quivering with 
excitement, and eyes that waited wild and 
famished for my answer, the answer I had 
not for her, and then indeed I tasted the full 
bitterness of the cup of unbelief. 

' No/ she said presently, ' I knew it ; no 
one can do me any good but Cecilia de Noel.' 

' And she believes ? ' 

' It is not what she believes, it is what 
she is.' 

She rested her head upon her hand and 
looked musingly towards the window, down 
which the drops were trickling, and said 

'Ever since 1 have known Cecilia I have 
always felt that if all the world failed this 
would be left. Not that I really imagined the 
world would fail me, but you know how one 
imagines things, how one asks oneself questions.

If I was like this, if I was like that, what 
should I do ? I used to say to myself, if the 
very worst happened to me, if I was ill of 
some loathsome disease from which everybody 
shrank away, or if my mind was unhinged and 
I was tempted with horrible temptations like 
I have read about, I would go to Cecilia. She 
would not turn from me ; she would run to 
meet me as the father in the parable did, not 
because I was her friend but because I was in 
trouble. All who are in trouble are Cecilia's 
friends, and she feels to them just as other 
people feel towards their own children. And 
I could tell her everything, show her every- 
thing. Others feel the same ; I have heard 
them say so men as well as women. I know 
why Cecilia's pity is so reverent, so pure. 
A great London doctor said to me once, " Re- 
member, nothing is shocking or disgusting to 
a doctor." That is like Cecilia. No suffering 
could ever be disgusting or shocking to Cecilia, 
nor ridiculous, nor grotesque. The more 
humiliating it was, the more pitiful it would 



vi MRS. MOLYNEUX'S GOSPEL 167 

be to her. Anything that suffers is sacred to 
Cecilia. She would comfort, as if she went 
on her knees to one ; and her touch on 
one's wounds, one's ugliest wounds, would be 
like,' she hesitated and looked about her in 
quest of a comparison, then, pointing to a pic- 
ture over the door, a picture of the Magdalene, 
kissing the bleeding feet upon the Cross, ended, 
'like that.' 

' Oh, Mrs. Molyneux,' I cried, ' if there be 
love like that in the world, then ' 

The door opened and Castleman entered. 

' If you please, sir, the carriage is at the 
door.' 



CHAPTER VII 
CECILIA'S GOSPEL 

THE rain gradually ceased falling as we drove 
onward and upward to the station. It stood 
on high ground, overlooking a wide sweep of 
downland and fallow, bordered towards the 
west by close-set woodlands, purple that even- 
ing against a sky of limpid gold, which the 
storm-clouds discovered as they lifted. 

I had not long to wait, for, punctual to its 
time, the train steamed into the station. From 
that part of the train to which I first looked, 
four or five passengers stepped out ; not one of 
them certainly the lady that I waited for. 
Glancing from side to side I saw, standing at 
the far end of the platform, two women ; one 
of them was tall ; could this be Mrs. de Noel ? 



CHAP, vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 169 

And yet no, I reflected as I went towards 
them, for she held a baby in her arms a baby 
moreover swathed, not in white and laces, but 
in a tattered and discoloured shawl ; while her 
companion, lifting out baskets and bundles 
from a third-class carriage, was poorly and 
even miserably clad. But again, as I drew 
nearer, I observed that the long fine hand 
which supported the child was delicately 
gloved, and that the cloak which swung back 
from the encircling arm was lined and bordered 
with very costly fur. This and something in 
the whole outline 

' Mrs. de Noel ? ' I murmured inquiringly. 

Then she turned towards me, and I saw her, 
as I often see her now in dreams, against that 
sunset background of aerial gold which the 
artist of circumstance had painted behind 
her, like a new Madonna, holding the child of 
poverty to her heart, pressing her cheek 
against its tiny head with a gesture whose 
exquisite tenderness, for at least that fleeting 
instant, seemed to bridge across the gulf which 



170 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

still yawns between Dives and Lazarus. So 
standing, she looked at me with two soft 
brown eyes, neither large nor beautiful, but in- 
their outlook direct and simple as a child's. 
Remembering as I met them what Mrs. 
Molyneux had said, I saw and comprehended 
as well what she meant. Benevolence is but 
faintly inscribed on the faces of most men, 
even of the better sort. " I will love you, my 
neighbour," we thereon decipher, "when I 
have attended to my own business, in the first 
place ; if you are lovable, or at least likable, 
in the second." But in the transparent gaze 
that Cecilia de Noel turned upon her fellows 
beamed love poured forth without stint and 
without condition. It was as if every man, 
woman, and child who approached her became 
instantly to her more interesting than herself, 
their defects more tolerable, their wants more 
imperative, their sorrows more moving than 
her own. In this lay the source of that 
mysterious charm so many have felt, so few 
have understood, and yielding to which even 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 171 

those least capable of appreciating her con- 
fessed that, whatever her conduct might be, 
she herself was irresistibly lovable. A kind 
of dream-like haze seemed to envelop us as I 
introduced myself, as she smiled upon me, as 
she resigned the child to its mother and bid 
them tenderly farewell ; but the clear air of the 
real became distinct again when there stood 
suddenly before us a fat elderly female, whose 
countenance was flushed with mingled anxiety 
and displeasure. 

' Law bless me, mem ! ' said the newcomer, 
' I could not think wherever you could be. 
I have been looking up and down for you, all 
through the first-class carriages.' 

' I am so sorry, Parkins,' said Mrs. de Noel 
penitently ; ' I ought to have let you know 
that I changed my carriage at Carchester. I 
wanted to nurse a baby whose mother was 
looking ill and tired. I saw them on the 
platform, and then they got into a third-class 
carriage, so I thought the best way would be 
to get in with them.' 



172 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' And where, if you please, mem,' inquired 
Parkins, in an icy tone and with a face 
stiffened by repressed displeasure ' where do 
you think you have left your dressing-bag and 
humbrella ? ' 

Mrs. de Noel fixed her sweet eyes upon the 
speaker, as if striving to recollect the answer 
to this question, and then replied 

' She told me she lived quite near the 
station. I wish I had asked her how far. She 
is much too weak to walk any distance. I 
might have found a fly for her, might I not ? ' 

Upon which Parkins gave a snort of 
irrepressible exasperation, and, evidently 
renouncing her mistress as beyond hope, 
forthwith departed in search of the missing 
property. I accompanied her, and, with the 
aid of the guard, we speedily found and 
secured both bag and umbrella, and, as the 
train steamed off, returned with these treasures 
to Mrs. de Noel, still on the same spot and in 
the same attitude as we had left her, and all 
that she said was 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 173 

' It was so stupid, so forgetful, so just like 
me not to have asked her more about it. She 
had been ill ; the journey itself was more than 
she could stand ; and then to have to carry the 
baby ! She said it was not far, but perhaps 
she only said that to please me. Poor people 
are so afraid of distressing one ; they often 
make themselves out better off than they really 
are, don't they ? ' 

I was embarrassed by this question, to which 
my own experience did not authorise me to 
answer yes ; but I evaded the difficulty by 
consulting a porter, who fortunately knew the 
woman, and was able to assure us that her 
cottage was barely a stone's throw from the 
station. When I had conveyed to Mrs. de 
Noel this information, which she received with 
an eager gratitude that the recovery of her 
bag and umbrella had failed to rouse, we left 
the station to go to the carriage, and then it 
was that, pausing suddenly, she cried out in 
dismay 

* Ah, you are hurt ! you 



174 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

She stopped abruptly ; she had divined 
the truth, and her eyes grew softer with such 
tender pity as not yet had shone for me 
motherless, sisterless on any woman's face. 
As we drove home that evening she heard the 
story that never had been told before. 

'You may have your faults, Cissy,' said 
Atherley, ' but I will say this for you for 
smoothing people down when they have been 
rubbed the wrong way, you never had your 
equal.' 

He lay back in a comfortable chair looking 
at his cousin, who, sitting on a low seat 
opposite the drawing-room fire, shaded her 
eyes from the glare with a little hand-screen. 

' Mrs. Molyneux, I hear, has gone to sleep,' 
he went on ; ' and Mrs. Mallet is unpacking 
her boxes. The only person who does not 
seem altogether happy is my old friend 
Parkins. When I inquired after her health 
a few minutes ago her manner to me was 
barely civil.' 

' Poor Parkins is rather put out,' said Mrs. 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 175 

de Noel in her slow gentle way. ' It is all my 
fault. I forgot to pack up the bodice of my 
best evening gown, and Parkins says it is the 
only one I look fit to be seen in.' 

' But, my dear Cecilia/ said Lady Atherley, 
looking up from the work which she pursued 
beside a shaded lamp, ' why did not Parkins 
pack it up herself ? ' 

' Oh, because she had some shopping of 
her own to do this forenoon, so she asked me 
to finish packing for her, and of course I said 
I would ; and I promised to try and forget 
nothing ; and then, after all, I went and left 
the bodice in a drawer. It is provoking ! 
The fact is, James spoils me so when he is at 
home. He remembers everything for me, and 
when I do forget anything he never scolds 
me.' 

' Ah, I expect he has a nice time of it,' 
said Atherley. ' However, it is not my fault. 
I warned him how it would be when he was 
engaged. I said : " I hope, for one thing, you 
can live on air, old chap, for you will get 



176 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

nothing more for dinner if you trust to Cissy 
to order it." 

' I don't believe you said anything of the 
kind/ observed Lady Atherley. 

' No, dear Jane ; of course he did not. He 
was very much pleased with our marriage. 
He said James was the only man he ever 
knew who was fit to marry me.' 

' So he was,' agreed Atherley ; ' the only 
man whose temper could stand all he would 
have to put up with. We had good proof of 
that even on the wedding-day, when you kept 
him kicking his heels for half an hour in the 
church while you were admiring the eifect of 
your new finery in the glass.' 

'What ! ' cried Lady Atherley incredulously. 

' What really did happen, Jane,' said Mrs. 
de Noel, ' was that when Edith Molyneux was 
trying on my wreath before a looking-glass 
over the fireplace, she unfortunately dropped 
it into the grate, and it got in such a mess. 
It took us a long time to get the black off, 
and some of the sprays were so spoiled. 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 177 

we had to take them out. And it was very 
unpleasant for Edith, as Aunt Henrietta was 
extremely angry, because the wreath was her 
present, you know, and it was very expensive ; 
and as to Parkins, poor dear, she was so 
vexed she positively cried. She said I was 
the most trying lady she had ever waited 
upon. She often says so. I am afraid it is 
true.' 

' Not a doubt of it/ said Atherley. 

' Do not believe him, Cecilia,' said Lady 
Atherley ; ' he thinks there is no one in the 
world like you.' 

* Fortunately for the world,' said Atherley ; 
' any more of the sort would spoil it. But I 
am not going to stay here to be bullied by 
two women at once. Kather than that, I will 
go and write letters.' 

He went, and soon afterwards Lady 
Atherley followed him. 

Then the two little boys came in with Tip. 

' We are not allowed to take him upstairs,' 
explained Harold, ' so we thought he might 

N 



1 78 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

stay with you and Mr. Lyndsay for a little, 
till Charles comes for him.' 

' If you would let him lie upon your dress, 
Aunt Cissy/ suggested Denis ; ' he would like 
that.' 

Accordingly he was carefully settled on the 
outspread folds of the serge gown ; and after 
the little boys had condoled with him in 
tones so melancholy that he was affected 
almost to tears, they went off to supper and 
to bed. 

Silence followed, broken only by the 
ticking of the clock and the wailing of the 
wind outside. Mrs. de Noel gazed into the 
fire with intent and unseeing eyes. Its warm 
red light softly illumined her whole face and 
figure, for in her abstraction she had let the 
hand-screen fall, and was stroking mechanically 
the little sleek head that nestled against her. 
Meantime I stared attentively at her, thinking 
I might do so without offence, seeing she 
had forgotten me and all else around her. 
Once, indeed, as if rising for a minute to the 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 179 

surface, with eyes that appeared to waken, she 
looked up and encountered my earnest gaze, 
but without shade of displeasure or discom- 
fiture. She only smiled upon me, placidly as 
a sister might smile upon a brother, benignly 
as one might smile upon a child, and fell into 
her dream again. It was a wonderful look, 
especially from a woman, as unique in its 
complete unconsciousness as in its warm 
good- will ; it was as soothing as the touch of 
her fine soft fingers must have been on Tip's 
hot head. I felt I could have curled myself 
up, as he did, at her feet and slept on for 
ever. But, alas ! the clock was checking the 
flying minutes and chanting the departing 
quarters, and presently the dressing-bell rang. 
Mrs. de Noel stirred, gave a long sigh, and, 
plainly from the fulness of her heart and of 
the thoughts she had so long been following, 
said 

' Mr. Lyndsay, is it not strange ? So many 
people from the great world come and ask me 
if there is any God. Really good people, you 



i8o CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

know, so honourable, so generous, so self- 
sacrificing. It is just the same to me as if 
they should ask me whether the sun was 
shining, when all the time I saw the sunshine 
on their faces/ 

' By the way/ said Atherley that night after 
dinner, when Mrs. Molyneux was not present, 
' where are you going to put Cissy to-night ? 
Are you going to make a bachelor of her 
too?' 

' Oh, such an uncomfortable arrangement ! ' 
said Lady Atherley. ' But Lucinda has set her 
heart on having Cecilia near her; so they 
have put up a little bed in the dressing-room 
for her/ 

' Cissy is to keep the ghost at bay, is she ? ' 
said Atherley. ' I hope she may. I don't 
want another night as lively as the last/ 

' Who else has seen the ghost ? ' asked Mrs. 
de Noel thoughtfully. ' Has Mr. Lyndsay ? ' 

' No, Lindy will never see the ghost ; he is 
too much of a sceptic. Even if he saw it he 
would not believe in it, and there is nothing a 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 181 

ghost hates like that. But he has seen the 
people who saw the ghost, and he tells their 
several stories very well.' 

' Would you tell me, Mr. Lyndsay ? ' asked 
Mrs. de Noel. 

I could do nothing but obey her wish ; still 
I secretly questioned the wisdom of doing so, 
especially when, as I went on, I observed steal- 
ing over her listening face the shadow of some 
disturbing thought. 

1 Well now, Cissy is thoroughly well fright- 
ened/ observed Atherley. ' Perhaps we had 
better go to bed.' 

* It is no good saying so to Lucinda,' said 
Lady Atherley, as we all rose, ' because it only 
puts her out ; but I shall always feel certain 
myself it was a mouse ; because I remember in 
the house we had at Bournemouth two years 
ago there was a mouse in my room which 
often made such a noise knocking down the 
plaster inside the wall, it used to quite 
startle me.' 

That night the storm finally subsided. 



1 82 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

When the morning came the rain fell no 
longer, the cry of the wind had ceased, and 
the cloud - curtain above us was growing 
lighter and softer as if penetrated and suf- 
fused by the growing sunshine behind it. 

I was late for breakfast that day. 

' Mr. Lyndsay, Tip is all right again/ cried 
Denis at sight of me. 'Mrs. Mallet says it 
was chicken bones he stole from the cat's dish.' 

' Is that all ? ' observed Atherley sardonic- 
ally; 'I thought he must have seen the 
ghost. By the bye, Cissy, did you see it ? ' 

'Yes,' said Mrs. de Noel simply, at which 
Atherley visibly started, and instantly began 
talking of something else. 

Mrs. Molyneux was to leave by an after- 
noon train, but, to the relief of everybody, it 
was discovered that Mrs. Mallet had indefi- 
nitely postponed her departure. She remained 
in the mildest of humours and in the most 
philosophical of tempers, as I myself can 
testify ; for, meeting her by accident in the 
hall, I was encouraged by the amiability of 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 183 

her simper to say that I hoped we should 
have no more trouble with the ghost, when 
she answered in words I have often since 
admiringly quoted 

' Perhaps not, sir, but I don't seem to care 
even if we do ; for I had a dream last night, 
and a spirit seemed to whisper in my ear, 
" Don't be afraid ; it is only a token of death.'" 

After Mrs. Molyneux had started, with 
Mrs. de Noel as her companion as far as the 
station, and all the rest of the party had gone 
out to sun themselves in the brightness of the 
afternoon, I worked through a long arrears of 
correspondence ; and I was just finishing a 
letter, when Atherley, whom I supposed to 
be far distant, came into the library. 

' I thought you had gone to pay calls with 
Lady Atherley ? ' 

' Is it likely ? Look here, Lindy, it is 
quite hot out of doors. Come, and let me tug 
you up the hill to meet Cissy coming home 
from the station, and then I promise you a 
rare treat.' 



1 84 CECILIA DE NOEL 



CHAP. 



Certainly to meet Mrs. de Noel anywhere 
might be so considered, but I did not ask if 
that was what he meant. It was milder ; one 
felt it more at every step upward. The sun, 
low as it was, shone warmly as well as bril- 
liantly between the clouds that he had thrust 
asunder and scattered in wild and beautiful 
disorder. It was one of those incredible days 
in early spring, balmy, tender, which our 
island summer cannot always match. 

We went on till we reached Beggar's Stile. 

' Sit down/ said Atherley, tossing on to the 
wet step a coat he carried over his arm. ' And 
there is a cigarette ; you must smoke, if you 
please, or at least pretend to do so.' 

' What does all this mean ? What are you 
up to, George ? ' 

' I am up to a delicate psychical investi- 
gation which requires the greatest care. The 
medium is made of such uncommon stuff ; she 
has not a particle of brass in her composition. 
So she requires to be carefully isolated from 
all disturbing influences. I allow you to be 



vn CECILIA'S GOSPEL 185 

present at the experiment, because discretion 
is one of your strongest points, and you 
always know when to hold your tongue. 
Besides, it will improve your mind. Cissy's 
story is certain to be odd, like herself, and 

will illustrate what I am always saying that 

Here she is.' 

He went forward to meet and to stop the 
carriage, out of which, at his suggestion, Mrs. 
de Noel readily came down to join us. 

' Do not get up, Mr. Lyndsay,' she called 
out as she came towards us, ' or I will go 
away. I don't want to sit down.' 

' Sit down, Lindy,' said Atherley sharply, 
' Cissy likes tobacco in the open air.' 

She rested her arms upon the gate and 
looked downwards. 

' The dear dear old river ! It makes me 
feel young again to look at it.' 

' Cissy,' said Atherley, his arms on the gate, 
his eyes staring straight towards the opposite 
horizon, ' tell us about the ghost ; were you 
frightened ? ' 



1 86 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

There was a certain tension in the pause 
which followed. Would she tell us or not? 
I almost felt Atherley's rebound of satisfaction 
as well as my own at the sound of her voice. 
It was uncertain and faint at first, but by 
degrees grew firm again, as timidity was lost 
in the interest of what she told : 

' Last night I sat up with Mrs. Molyneux, 
holding her hand till she fell asleep, and that 
was very late, and then I went to the dressing- 
room, where I was to sleep ; and as I un- 
dressed, I thought over what Mr. Lyndsay 
had told us about the ghost ; and the more I 
thought, the more sad and strange it seemed 
that not one of those who saw it, not even 
Aunt Eleanour, who is so kind and thoughtful, 
had had one pitying thought for it. And we 
who heard about it were just the same, for it 
seemed to us quite natural and even right that 
everybody should shrink away from it because 
it was so horrible ; though that should only 
make them the more kind ; just as we feel we 
must be more tender and loving to any one who 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 187 

is deformed, and the more shocking his defor- 
mity the more tender and loving. And what, I 
thought, if this poor spirit had come by any 
chance to ask for something ; if it were in pain 
and longed for relief, or sinful and longed for 
forgiveness ? How dreadful then that other 
beings should turn from it, instead of going to 
meet it and comfort it so dreadful that I 
almost wished that I might see it, and have 
the strength to speak to it ! And it came into 
my head that this might happen, for often 
and often when I have been very anxious to 
serve some one, the wish has been granted in 
a quite wonderful way. So when I said my 
prayers, I asked especially that if it should 
appear to me, I might have strength to 
forget all selfish fear and try only to know 
what it wanted. And as I prayed the foolish 
shrinking dread we have of such things seemed 
to fade away ; just as when I have prayed for 
those towards whom I felt cold or unforgiving, 
the hardness has all melted away into love 
towards them. And after that came to me 



1 88 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

that lovely feeling which we all have some- 
times in church, or when we are praying 
alone, or more often in the open air, on beauti- 
ful summer days when it is warm and still ; 
as if one's heart were beating and overflowing 
with love towards everything in this world 
and in all the worlds ; as if the very grasses 
and the stones were dear, but dearest of all, the 
creatures that still suffer, so that to wipe away 
their tears forever, one feels that one would 
die oh, die so gladly ! And always as if this 
were something not our own, but part of that 
wonderful great Love above us, about us, every- 
where, clasping us all so tenderly and safely ! ' 

Here her voice trembled and failed ; she 
waited a little and then went on, ' Ah, I am 
too stupid to say rightly what I mean, but 
you who are clever will understand. 

' It was so sweet that I knelt on, drinking it 
in for a long time ; not praying, you know, 
but just resting, and feeling as if I were in 
heaven, till all at once, I cannot explain why, 
I moved and looked round. It was there at 



vn CECILIA'S GOSPEL 189 

the other end of the room. It was . . . 
much worse than I had dreaded it would be ; 
as if it looked out of some great horror deeper 
than I could understand. The loving feeling 
was gone, and I was afraid so much afraid, I 
only wanted to get out of sight of it. And I 
think I would have gone, but it stretched out 
its hands to me as if it were asking for some- 
thing, and then, of course, I could not go. So, 
though I was trembling a little, I went nearer 
and looked into its face. And after that, I 
was not afraid any more, I was too sorry for 
it ; its poor poor eyes were so full of anguish. 
I cried : " Oh, why do you look at me like that ? 
Tell me what I shall do." 

' And directly I spoke I heard it moan. Oh, 
George, oh, Mr. Lyndsay, how can I tell you 
what that moaning was like ! Do you know 
how a little change in the face of some one 
you love, or a little tremble in his voice, can 
make you see quite clearly what nobody, not 
even the great poets, had been able to show 
you before ? 



190 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

4 George, do you remember the day that 
grandmother died, when they all broke down 
and cried a little at dinner, all except Uncle 
Marmaduke ? He sat up looking so white and 
stern at the end of the table. And I, foolish 
little child, thought he was not so grieved as 
the others that he did not love his mother so 
much. But next day, quite by chance, I heard 
him, all alone, sobbing over her coffin. I 
remember standing outside the door and 
listening, and each sob went through my 
heart with a little stab, and I knew for the 
first time what sorrow was. But even his 
sobs were not so pitiful as the moans of that 
poor spirit. While I listened I learnt that in 
another world there may be worse for us to 
bear than even here sorrow more hopeless, 
more lonely. For the strange thing was, the 
moaning seemed to come from so far far 
away ; not only from somewhere millions and 
millions away, but this is the strangest of 
all as if it came to me from time long since 
past, ages and ages ago. I know this sounds 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 191 

like nonsense, but indeed I am trying to put 
into words the weary long distance that 
seemed to stretch between us, like one I 
never should be able to cross. At last it 
spoke to me in a whisper which I could only 
just hear ; at least it was more like a whisper 
than anything else I can think of, and it 
seemed to come like the moaning from far far 
away. It thanked me so meekly for looking 
at it and speaking to it. It told me that by 
sins committed against others when it was on 
earth it had broken the bond between itself 
and all other creatures. While it was what 
we call alive, it did not feel this, for the senses 
confuse us and hide many things from the 
good, and so still more from the wicked ; but 
when it died and lost the body by which it 
seemed to be kept near to other beings, it 
found itself imprisoned in the most dreadful 
loneliness loneliness which no one in this 
world can even imagine. Even the pain of 
solitary confinement, so it told me, which 
drives men mad, is only like a shadow or type 



192 CECILIA'S GOSPEL CHAP. 

of this loneliness of spirits. Others there might 
be, but it knew nothing of them nothing 
besides this great empty darkness everywhere, 
except the place it had once lived in, and the 
people who were moving about it ; and even 
those it could only perceive dimly as if look- 
ing through a mist, and always so unutterably 
away from them all. I am not giving its own 
words, you know, George, because I cannot 
remember them. I am not certain it did 
speak to me ; the thoughts seemed to pass in 
some strange way into my mind ; I cannot 
explain how, for the still far-away voice did 
not really speak. Sometimes, it told me, the 
loneliness became agony, and it longed for a 
word or a sign from some other being, just as 
Dives longed for the drop of cold water ; and 
at such times it was able to make the living 
people see it. But that, alas ! was useless, for 
it only alarmed them so much that the bravest 
and most benevolent rushed away in terror or 
would not let it come near them. But still it 
went on showing itself to one after another, 



CECILIA'S GOSPEL 193 



always hoping that some one would take pity 
on it and speak to it, for it felt that if com- 
fort ever came to it, it must be through a 
living soul, and it knew of none save those 
in this world and in this place. And I 
said : " Why did you not turn for help to 
God?" 

' Then it gave a terrible answer : it said, 
" What is God ? " 

' And when I heard these words there came 
over me a wild kind of pity, such as I used 
to feel when I saw my little child struggling 
for breath when he was ill, and I held out 
my arms to this poor lonely thing, but it 
shrank back, crying : 

' " Speak to me, but do not touch me, brave 
human creature. I am all death, and if 
you come too near me the Death in me may 
kill the life in you." 

' But I said : "No Death can kill the life 
in me, even though it kill my body. Dear 
fellow-spirit, I cannot tell you what I 
know ; but let me take you in my arms ; 

o

rest for an instant on my heart, and 
perhaps I may make you feel what I feel all 
around us." 

' And as I spoke I threw my arms around 
the shadowy form and strained it to my 
breast. And I felt as if I were pressing to 
me only air, but air colder than any ice, so 
that my heart seemed to stop beating, and I 
could hardly breathe. But I still clasped it 
closer and closer, and as I grew colder it 
seemed to grow less chill. 

' And at last it spoke, and the whisper was 
not far away, but near. It said : 

* " It is enough ; now I know what God is ! " 

' After that I remember nothing more, till 
I woke up and found myself lying on the 
floor beside the bed. It was morning, and 
the spirit was not there ; but I have a strong 
feeling that I have been able to help it, and 
that it will trouble you no more. 

' Surely it is late ! I must go at once. I 
promised to have tea with the children.' 



vn CECILIA'S GOSPEL 195 

Neither of us spoke ; neither of us stirred ; 
when the sound of her light footfall was 
heard no more, there was complete silence. 
Below, the mists had gathered so thickly that 
now they spread across the valley one dead 
white sea of vapour in which village and 
woods and stream were all buried all except 
the little church spire, that, still unsubmerged, 
pointed triumphantly to the sky ; and what 
a sky ! For that which yesterday had steeped 
us in cold and darkness, now, piled even to 
the zenith in mountainous cloud-masses, was 
dyed, every crest and summit of it, in crimson 
fire, pouring from a great fount of colour, 
where the heavens opened to show that 
wonder-world in the west, whence saints and 
singers have drawn their loveliest images of 
the Rest to come. 

But perhaps I saw all things irradiated by 
the light which had risen upon my darkness 
the light that never was on land or sea, but 
shines reflected in the human face. 



196 CECILIA DE NOEL CHAP. 

' George, I am waiting for your interpre- 
tation.' 

' It is very simple, Lindy,' he said. 

But there was a tone in his voice I had 
heard once and only once before, when, 
through the first terrible hours that followed 
my accident, he sat patiently beside me in 
the darkened room, holding my hot hand in 
his broad cool palm. 

' It is very simple. It is the most easily 
explained of all the accounts. It was a dream 
from beginning to end. She fell asleep pray- 
ing, thinking, as she says ; what was more 
natural or inevitable than that she should 
dream of the ghost? And it all confirms 
what I say : that visions are composed by the 
person who sees them. Nothing could be 
more characteristic of Cissy than the story 
she has just told us.' 

' And let it be a dream,' I said. * It is 
of no consequence, for the dreamer remains, 
breathing and walking on this solid earth. 
I have touched her hand, I have looked 



vii CECILIA'S GOSPEL 197 

into her face. Thank God ! she is no vision, 
the woman who could dream this dream ! 
George, how do you explain the miracle of 
her existence ? ' 

But Atherley was silent.
