Excerpt from The Curate's Discipline, Vol. 2 of 3
He was no more than another man, with a heart just as weak and as warm in his bosom as if he had never taken a priest's vows upon himself, and resolved that, let others think as they might of fat glebes, and woman's love, and household com fort, he would be a priest indeed. He shrugged his shoulders with something very like self-con tempt; and then Magdalene's face came before him, not as he had seen it first, sad and heavy eyed, but radiant with the flush of love and joy that his words had called forth, and he felt that, after all, no man had much right to despise himself for having fallen in love with Magdalene Grant.

Excerpt from The Curate's Discipline, Vol. 2 of 3
The night was wearing into morning before Philip Wendell closed his eyes. He sat long and steadily thinking by his bed-room window - not smoking, to help him in his thoughts, but with folded arms, leaning back in an easy-chair, his feet resting on another, and his eyes directed upwards, his reveries to all appearance very far away from this sublunary world, its sins and its troubles, though never had the Curate's mind been more fully occupied with things of the earth earthly - things, too, concerning himself, instead of the anxieties, cares, and strivings to better the sordid lives of those around him, that had so much engaged his attention since he came to Elmsley. He had been surprised into taking a step which he had little thought of doing twelve hours previously.
