It was clear that the Rector was m what Dorothy called, euphemistically, his
‘uncomfortable mood’ He had one of those weary, cultivated voices which are
never definitely angry and never anywhere near good humour-one of those
voices which seem all the while to be saying, ‘I really cannot see what you are
making all this fuss about 1 ’ The impression he gave was of suffering
perpetually from other people’s stupidity and tiresomeness
‘I’m so sorry, Father 1 I simply had to go and ask after Mrs Tawney ’ (Mrs
Tawney was the ‘Mrs T’ of the ‘memo list’ ) ‘Her baby was born last night, and
you know she promised me she’d come and be churched after it was born But
of course she won’t if she thinks we aren’t taking any interest m her You know
what these women are-they seem so to hate bemg churched They’ll never
come unless I coax them into it ’
The Rector did not actually grunt, but he uttered a small
dissatisfied
sound
as he moved towards the breakfast table, It was intended to mean, first, that it
was Mr£ Tawney’s duty to come and be churched without Dorothy’s coaxing,
secondly, that Dorothy had no business to waste her time visiting all the riff-
raff of the town, especially before breakfast Mrs T awney was a labourer’s wife
and lived in partibus mfidelium, north of the High Street The Rector laid his
hand on the back of his chair, and, without speaking, cast Dorothy a glance
which meant ‘Are we ready now ?

Su aliento de ambrosía,
La luz que derramaba
Su forma, la armonía
De que su voz llenaba
La selva, y el encanto
Con que su influjo santo
Divinizó el vergel,
Como neblina leve
Que
desvanece
el aura
Al punto que se mueve,
Se disipó con él:
Dudar pudiendo en suma
La mente deslumbrada
Si fué visión soñada
El ángel Azäel.

Did I tell him that I was
Georgie Bowling, son of Samuel Bowling — he’d have remembered my father even if he
didn’t remember me — and that I’d not only listened to his sermons for ten years and gone
to his Confirmation classes, but even belonged to the Lower
Binfield
Reading Circle and
had a go at Sesame and Lilies just to please him?

I feel a great tenderness for these peasant folk--our ryots--big,
helpless, infantile
children
of Providence, who must have food brought to
their very lips, or they are undone.

Certes le matin quand
Françoise
était venue
me dire qu'Albertine irait au Trocadéro, je m'étais dit: «Albertine
peut bien faire ce qu'elle veut» et j'avais cru que jusqu'au soir, par
ce temps radieux, ses actions resteraient pour moi sans importance
perceptible; mais ce n'était pas seulement le soleil matinal, comme je
l'avais pensé, qui m'avait rendu si insouciant; c'était parce que,
ayant obligé Albertine à renoncer aux projets qu'elle pouvait
peut-être amorcer ou même réaliser chez les Verdurin et l'ayant
réduite à aller à une matinée que j'avais choisie moi-même et en
vue de laquelle elle n'avait pu rien préparer, je savais que ce qu'elle
ferait serait forcément innocent.

3 He soon after marched to a city called Gordium, which is situated between the Greater and Lesser Phrygia, 4 and which he
earnestly
desired to take, not so much for the sake of plunder, as because he had heard that in that city, in the temple of Jupiter, was deposited the yoke of Gordius's cart; the knot of which, if anyone should loose, the oracles of old had predicted that he should rule all Asia.
