Even
so
.
The
first
point
to
be
obtained
is
to
know
one
's
own
mind
.
Once
sure
of
that
,
and
where
women
are
concerned
,
it
is
not
easy
,
the
next
is
,
to
act
up
to
the
decision
.
I
have
endeavored
to
do
both
,
and
here
I
am
.
"
"
If
you
journey
to
the
lake
,
you
have
mistaken
your
route
,
"
said
Heyward
,
haughtily
;
"
the
highway
thither
is
at
least
half
a
mile
behind
you
.
"
"
Even
so
,
"
returned
the
stranger
,
nothing
daunted
by
this
cold
reception
;
"
I
have
tarried
at
'
Edward
'
a
week
,
and
I
should
be
dumb
not
to
have
inquired
the
road
I
was
to
journey
;
and
if
dumb
there
would
be
an
end
to
my
calling
.
"
After
simpering
in
a
small
way
,
like
one
whose
modesty
prohibited
a
more
open
expression
of
his
admiration
of
a
witticism
that
was
perfectly
unintelligible
to
his
hearers
,
he
continued
:
"
It
is
not
prudent
for
any
one
of
my
profession
to
be
too
familiar
with
those
he
is
to
instruct
;
for
which
reason
I
follow
not
the
line
of
the
army
;
besides
which
,
I
conclude
that
a
gentleman
of
your
character
has
the
best
judgment
in
matters
of
wayfaring
;
I
have
therefore
decided
to
join
company
,
in
order
that
the
ride
may
be
made
agreeable
,
and
partake
of
social
communion
.
"
"
A
most
arbitrary
,
if
not
a
hasty
decision
!
"
exclaimed
Heyward
,
undecided
whether
to
give
vent
to
his
growing
anger
,
or
to
laugh
in
the
other
's
face
.
"
But
you
speak
of
instruction
,
and
of
a
profession
;
are
you
an
adjunct
to
the
provincial
corps
,
as
a
master
of
the
noble
science
of
defence
and
offence
;
or
,
perhaps
,
you
are
one
who
draws
lines
and
angles
,
under
the
pretence
of
expounding
the
mathematics
?
"
The
stranger
regarded
his
interrogator
a
moment
,
in
wonder
;
and
then
,
losing
every
mark
of
self-satisfaction
in
an
expression
of
solemn
humility
,
he
answered
:
--
"
Of
offence
,
I
hope
there
is
none
,
to
either
party
:
of
defence
,
I
make
none
--
by
God
's
good
mercy
,
having
committed
no
palpable
sin
since
last
entreating
his
pardoning
grace
.
I
understand
not
your
allusions
about
lines
and
angles
;
and
I
leave
expounding
to
those
who
have
been
called
and
set
apart
for
that
holy
office
.
I
lay
claim
to
no
higher
gift
than
a
small
insight
into
the
glorious
art
of
petitioning
and
thanksgiving
,
as
practised
in
psalmody
.
"
"
The
man
is
,
most
manifestly
,
a
disciple
of
Apollo
,
"
cried
the
amused
Alice
,
"
and
I
take
him
under
my
own
especial
protection
.
Nay
,
throw
aside
that
frown
,
Heyward
,
and
in
pity
to
my
longing
ears
,
suffer
him
to
journey
in
our
train
.
Besides
,
"
she
added
,
in
a
low
and
hurried
voice
,
casting
a
glance
at
the
distant
Cora
,
who
slowly
followed
the
footsteps
of
their
silent
but
sullen
guide
,
"
it
may
be
a
friend
added
to
our
strength
,
in
time
of
need
.
"
"
Think
you
,
Alice
,
that
I
would
trust
those
I
love
by
this
secret
path
,
did
I
imagine
such
need
could
happen
?
