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.
