156
+ PREFACE.
157
+ </h2>
158
+ <p>
159
+ The changing of the old order in country manors and mansions may be
160
+ slow or sudden, may have many issues romantic or otherwise, its romantic
161
+ issues being not necessarily restricted to a change back to the original
162
+ order; though this admissible instance appears to have been the only
163
+ romance formerly recognized by novelists as possible in the case.
164
+ Whether the following production be a picture of other possibilities or
165
+ not, its incidents may be taken to be fairly well supported by evidence
166
+ every day forthcoming in most counties.
167
+ </p>
168
+ <p>
169
+ The writing of the tale was rendered memorable to two persons, at least,
170
+ by a tedious illness of five months that laid hold of the author soon
171
+ after the story was begun in a well-known magazine; during which
172
+ period the narrative had to be strenuously continued by dictation to a
173
+ predetermined cheerful ending.
174
+ </p>
175
+ <p>
176
+ As some of these novels of Wessex life address themselves more
177
+ especially to readers into whose souls the iron has entered, and whose
178
+ years have less pleasure in them now than heretofore, so "A Laodicean"
179
+ may perhaps help to while away an idle afternoon of the comfortable ones
180
+ whose lines have fallen to them in pleasant places; above all, of that
181
+ large and happy section of the reading public which has not yet reached
182
+ ripeness of years; those to whom marriage is the pilgrim's Eternal City,
183
+ and not a milestone on the way. T.H.
184
+ </p>
185
+ <p>
186
+ January 1896.

195

196

197

198
+ <p>
199
+ The sun blazed down and down, till it was within half-an-hour of its
200
+ setting; but the sketcher still lingered at his occupation of measuring
201
+ and copying the chevroned doorway&mdash;a bold and quaint example of a
202
+ transitional style of architecture, which formed the tower entrance to
203
+ an English village church. The graveyard being quite open on its western
204
+ side, the tweed-clad figure of the young draughtsman, and the tall mass
205
+ of antique masonry which rose above him to a battlemented parapet,
206
+ were fired to a great brightness by the solar rays, that crossed the
207
+ neighbouring mead like a warp of gold threads, in whose mazes groups of
208
+ equally lustrous gnats danced and wailed incessantly.
209
+ </p>
210
+ <p>
211
+ He was so absorbed in his pursuit that he did not mark the brilliant
212
+ chromatic effect of which he composed the central feature, till it was
213
+ brought home to his intelligence by the warmth of the moulded stonework
214
+ under his touch when measuring; which led him at length to turn his head
215
+ and gaze on its cause.
216
+ </p>
217
+ <p>
218
+ There are few in whom the sight of a sunset does not beget as much
219
+ meditative melancholy as contemplative pleasure, the human decline and
220
+ death that it illustrates being too obvious to escape the notice of
221
+ the simplest observer. The sketcher, as if he had been brought to this
222
+ reflection many hundreds of times before by the same spectacle, showed
223
+ that he did not wish to pursue it just now, by turning away his face
224
+ after a few moments, to resume his architectural studies.
225
+ </p>
226
+ <p>
227
+ 'I can assure you, you need not be alarmed, madam,' said Havill. 'The
228
+ chief constable is here, and the two town engines, and I am doing all I
229
+ can. The castle engine unfortunately is out of repair.'
230
+ </p>
231
+ <p>
232
+ Somerset and Paula then went on to another point of view near the
233
+ gymnasium, where they could not be seen by the crowd. Three-quarters of
234
+ a mile off, on their left hand, the powerful irradiation fell upon the
235
+ brick chapel in which Somerset had first seen the woman who now
236
+ stood beside him as his wife. It was the only object visible in that
237
+ direction, the dull hills and trees behind failing to catch the light.
238
+ She significantly pointed it out to Somerset, who knew her meaning, and
239
+ they turned again to the more serious matter.
240
+ </p>
241
+ <p>
242
+ It had long been apparent that in the face of such a wind all the pigmy
243
+ appliances that the populace could bring to act upon such a mass of
244
+ combustion would be unavailing. As much as could burn that night was
245
+ burnt, while some of that which would not burn crumbled and fell as
246
+ a formless heap, whence new flames towered up, and inclined to the
247
+ north-east so far as to singe the trees of the park. The thicker walls
248
+ of Norman date remained unmoved, partly because of their thickness, and
249
+ partly because in them stone vaults took the place of wood floors.
250
+ </p>
251
+ <p>
252
+ The tower clock kept manfully going till it had struck one, its face
253
+ smiling out from the smoke as if nothing were the matter, after which
254
+ hour something fell down inside, and it went no more.
255
+ </p>
256
+ <p>
257
+ Cunningham Haze, with his body of men, was devoted in his attention, and
258
+ came up to say a word to our two spectators from time to time. Towards
259
+ four o'clock the flames diminished, and feeling thoroughly weary,
260
+ Somerset and Paula remained no longer, returning to Markton as they had
261
+ come.
262
+ </p>
263
+ <p>
264
+ On their journey they pondered and discussed what course it would be
265
+ best to pursue in the circumstances, gradually deciding not to attempt
266
+ rebuilding the castle unless they were absolutely compelled. True,
267
+ the main walls were still standing as firmly as ever; but there was
268
+ a feeling common to both of them that it would be well to make an
269
+ opportunity of a misfortune, and leaving the edifice in ruins start
270
+ their married life in a mansion of independent construction hard by the
271
+ old one, unencumbered with the ghosts of an unfortunate line.
272
+ </p>
273
+ <p>
274
+ 'We will build a new house from the ground, eclectic in style. We will
275
+ remove the ashes, charred wood, and so on from the ruin, and plant more
276
+ ivy. The winter rains will soon wash the unsightly smoke from the walls,
277
+ and Stancy Castle will be beautiful in its decay. You, Paula, will be
278
+ yourself again, and recover, if you have not already, from the warp
279
+ given to your mind (according to Woodwell) by the mediaevalism of that
280
+ place.'
281
+ </p>
282
+ <p>
283
+ 'And be a perfect representative of "the modern spirit"?' she inquired;
284
+ 'representing neither the senses and understanding, nor the heart and
285
+ imagination; but what a finished writer calls "the imaginative reason"?'
286
+ </p>
287
+ <p>
288
+ 'Yes; for since it is rather in your line you may as well keep straight
289
+ on.'
290
+ </p>
291
+ <p>
292
+ 'Very well, I'll keep straight on; and we'll build a new house beside
293
+ the ruin, and show the modern spirit for evermore.... But, George, I
294
+ wish&mdash;' And Paula repressed a sigh.
295
+ </p>
296
+ <p>
297
+ 'Well?'
298
+ </p>
299
+ <p>
300
+ 'I wish my castle wasn't burnt; and I wish you were a De Stancy!'

379
+ 1.B. "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark. It may only be
380
+ used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
381
+ agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
382
+ things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
383
+ even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
384
+ paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
385
+ Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
386
+ and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
387
+ works. See paragraph 1.E below.

+
389
+ 1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"

+ Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Nearly all the individual works in the
392
+ collection are in the public domain in the United States. If an
393
+ individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
394
+ located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
395
+ copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
396
+ works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
397
+ are removed. Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
398
+ Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
399
+ freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
400
+ this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
401
+ the work. You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
402
+ keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
403
+ Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
404
+
405
+ 1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
406
+ what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are in
407
+ a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, check
408
+ the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
409
+ before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
410
+ creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
411

418

431
+ posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
432
+ and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
433

436

+
580
+ Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
581
+ electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
582
+ including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
583
+ because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
584
+ people in all walks of life.
585
+
586
+ Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
587
+ assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
588
+ goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
589
+ remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
590
+ Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
591
+ and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

+ Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
624
+ Literary Archive Foundation
625
+
626
+ Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
627
+ spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
628
+ increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
629
+ freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
630
+ array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
631
+ ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
632
+ status with the IRS.
633
+
634
+ The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
635
+ charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
636
+ States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
637
+ considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
638
+ with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
639
+ where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
640
+ SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
641
+ particular state visit http://pglaf.org
642
+
643
+ While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
644
+ have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
645
+ against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
646
+ approach us with offers to donate.
647
+
648
+ International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
649
+ any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
650
+ outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
651
+
652
+ Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
653
+ methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
654
+ ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

+ Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
659
+ works.
660
+
661
+ Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
662
+ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
663
+ with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
664
+ Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
665
+
666
+
667
+ Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
668
+ editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
669
+ unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
670
+ keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
671
+
672
+
673
+ Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
674
+
675
+ http://www.gutenberg.org
676
+
677
+ This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
678
+ including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
679
+ Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
680
+ subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
