‘He has lately heard,’ replied Christian, who in vain sought for a means of checking Malkin’s loquacity⁹⁹. ‘I thought he might have told you.’

‘Certainly not. The thing is quite new to me. And what is Peak doing down there, pray? Why did he conceal¹⁰⁰ himself?’

Christian gazed appealingly at his sister. She returned the look steadily¹⁰¹, but neither stirred nor spoke. It was Warricombe’s voice that next sounded:

‘Peak’s behaviour seems mysterious,’ he began, with ironic¹⁰² gravity. ‘I don’t pretend to understand him. What’s your view of his character, Mr. Malkin?’

‘I know him very slightly indeed, Mr. Warricombe. But I have a high opinion of his powers. I wonder he does so little. After that article of his in The Critical’——

Malkin became aware of something like agonised entreaty¹⁰³ on Christian’s countenance, but this had merely the effect of heightening his curiosity.

‘In The Critical?’ said Warricombe, eagerly. ‘I didn’t know of that. What was the subject?’

‘To be sure, it was anonymous,’ went on Malkin, without a suspicion of the part he was playing before these three excited people. ‘A paper called “The New Sophistry”, a tremendous bit of satire¹⁰⁴.’

Marcella’s eyes closed as if a light had flashed before them; she drew a short sigh, and at once seemed to become quite at ease, the smile with which she regarded Warricombe expressing a calm interest.

‘That article was Peak’s?’ Buckland asked, in a very quiet voice.

Christian at last found his opportunity.

‘He never mentioned it to you? Perhaps he thought he had gone rather too far in his Broad Churchism, and might be misunderstood.’

‘Broad Churchism?’ cried Malkin. ‘Uncommonly broad, I must say!’

And he laughed heartily; Marcella seemed to join in his mirth.

‘Then it would surprise you,’ said Buckland, in the same quiet tone as before, ‘to hear that Peak is about to take Orders?’
