your heart is the lust of Mammon, in your mind cunning devils, in
your tent this woman whom you live with in adultery; yet of these
divers sins, even here in the wilderness, I, Sturges Owen, apostle
to the Lord, bid you to repent and cast from you your iniquities."
"Save your cant! Save your cant!" Hay Stockard broke in testily.
"You'll need all you've got, and more, for Red Baptiste over

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Emma by Jane Austen: her to the very spot where, at that moment, a trunk, directed to

The voice that billowed round the barriers roar
An ocean-sounding welcome to one knight,
But newly-entered, taller than the rest,

From overseas in Brittany returned,
And marriage with a princess of that realm,
