It would seem--would it not, sir?--that the most deceitful\r\nand hypocritical of fathers should be equally honored by the son, as the\r\npurest.\"\r\n\r\n\"So it would certainly seem, according to the strict letter of the\r\nDecalogue--certainly.\"\r\n\r\n\"And do you think, sir, that it should be so held, and so applied in\r\nactual life? For instance, should I honor my father, if I knew him to be\r\na seducer?\"\r\n\r\n\"Pierre! Pierre!\" said his mother, profoundly coloring, and half rising;\r\n\"there is no need of these argumentative assumptions. You very immensely\r\nforget yourself this morning.\"\r\n\r\n\"It is merely the interest of the general question, Madam,\" returned\r\nPierre, coldly. \"I am sorry. If your former objection does not apply\r\nhere, Mr. Falsgrave, will you favor me with an answer to my question?\"\r\n\r\n\"There you are again, Mr. Glendinning,\" said the clergyman, thankful for\r\nPierre's hint; \"that is another question in morals absolutely incapable\r\nof a definite answer, which shall be universally applicable.\" Again the\r\nsurplice-like napkin chanced to drop.\r\n\r\n\"I am tacitly rebuked again then, sir,\" said Pierre, slowly; \"but I\r\nadmit that perhaps you are again in the right. And now, Madam, since Mr.\r\nFalsgrave and yourself have a little business together, to which my\r\npresence is not necessary, and may possibly prove quite dispensable,\r\npermit me to leave you. I am going off on a long ramble, so you need not\r\nwait dinner for me. Good morning, Mr. Falsgrave; good morning, Madam,\"\r\nlooking toward his mother.\r\n\r\nAs the door closed upon him, Mr. Falsgrave spoke--\"Mr. Glendinning looks\r\na little pale to-day: has he been ill?\"\r\n\r\n\"Not that I know of,\" answered the lady, indifferently, \"but did you\r\never see young gentleman so stately as he was! Extraordinary!\" she\r\nmurmured; \"what can this mean--Madam--Madam? But your cup is empty\r\nagain, sir\"--reaching forth her hand.\r\n\r\n\"No more, no more, Madam,\" said the clergyman.\r\n\r\n\"Madam? pray don't Madam me any more, Mr. Falsgrave; I have taken a\r\nsudden hatred to that title.\"\r\n\r\n\"Shall it be Your Majesty, then?\" said the clergyman, gallantly; \"the\r\nMay Queens are so styled, and so should be the Queens of October.\"\r\n\r\nHere the lady laughed. \"Come,\" said she, \"let us go into another room,\r\nand settle the affair of that infamous Ned and that miserable Delly.\"\r\n\r\n\r","title":"Chunk 8"},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG8AKHMZ21RV7ZMW1WNW7ETK","peer_type":"subsection","predicate":"in"},{"peer":"01KG89J1JSYKSGCE149MH9HF6A","peer_type":"file","predicate":"extractedFrom"},{"peer":"01KG89HMDZKNY753EZE1CJ8HZW","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"},{"peer":"01KG8AN386HM7H7F7N33CQHV0X","peer_type":"chunk","predicate":"prev"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T20:48:58.639Z","ts":"2026-01-30T20:49:14.554Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFF0H3YRP9ZSM033AM0QJ47H"}}
