BUT under the various deterrent¹ influences Jude's instinct was to approach her timidly, and the next Sunday he went to the morning service in the Cathedral church of Cardinal² College to gain a further view of her, for he had found that she frequently attended there.

To see her, and to be himself unseen and unknown, was enough for him at present.

It was a louring, mournful, still afternoon, when a religion of some sort seems a necessity to ordinary practical men, and not only a luxury of the emotional and leisured classes.

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse⁸ his way?

It was the very question that was engaging Jude's attention at this moment. What a wicked worthless fellow he had been to give vent⁹ as he had done to an animal passion for a woman, and allow it to lead to such
