" The Archdeacon gripped it (the chalice) more firmly, and, keeping his eyes on it, turned to face the others.

Something is going on, he said, almost harshly. I do not know what. It may be that God is dissolving it-but I think there is devilry. Make yourselves paths for the Will of God . . .”

“Pray,” the Archdeacon cried out, “pray, in the name of God. They are praying against him tonight. . . .”

“Against what shall we pray?” The Duke cried.

“Against nothing,” the Archdeacon said. “Pray that he who made the universe may sustain the universe, that in all things there may be delight in the justice of His will.”

. . . The tower was indeed a tower of defence, though it offered no aggression, and resisted whatever there was to be resisted merely by its own immovable calm. "
