Excerpt from A Point of Conscience 'Affection lights a brighter flame Than ever blazed by art.' 'I Really think we may congratulate ourselves about this governess, ' says Lady Maria, leaning back in her chair, and letting her lovely old hands with her knitting, drop into her lap. 'She seems a most excellent creature.' With Lady Maria most people inferior to herself are 'creatures.' A 'nice' creature, or a 'good' creature, if it happens to be the doctor's or the curate's wife, and she approves of her; an 'excellent' creature, if it be the butler or the governess; whilst a 'worthy' creature does for the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick-maker. 'She's very pretty, ' returned Mrs. Verschoyle, a tall, handsome, fashionable-looking woman of about forty, with touch of humour in her clear grey eyes. It is perhaps this touch of humour that has endeared her so strongly to her mother-in-law, with whom she has lived ever since the death of her husband. Lady Maria's eldest son - a death that took place five years ago, and was so much to these two women of the world that they found it impossible to forget it. 'Oh, pretty!' says Lady Maria, with a shrug. 'What has prettiness to do with it? Beauty is not necessary in one's governess. In fact, I always think that sort of person should be born plain. To be distinctly plain, without being actually repulsive, would be so wise of them!' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Point of Conscience, Vol. 2 of 3 The day is waning, and already the stall holders are able to say to themselves that undoubtedly the bazaar has been a success. And, indeed, it would have ended without a hitch anywhere, but for Carry - poor Carry, who, as a rule, only tumbles into one catastrophe to find another.

Excerpt from Point of Conscience, Vol. 3 of 3 'And now the heaven is dark, and bright, and loud With wind, and starry drift and moon and cloud, And night's cry rings in straining sheet and shroud: What help is ours if hope like yours be none?' 'After all, Anthony, I find I must leave here this evening. Horrid grind, but can't be helped. A telegram from a lawyer-fellow of mine.' This is a distinct lie, but even the best of us lie sometimes - distinctly! 'My dear fellow, I'm so sorry.'

Excerpt from Evolution and the Need of Atonement As the title indicates, the main object of this book is not to offer a new theory of the Atonement. Rather it is intended to Show that when the origin and history of man are studied from the scientific, and especially the biological side, the spiritual life, its partial failure, and the need for Atonement, far from receding into vagueness and unreality, are thrown into strong relief.
