s wandering and he hasn't the strength to resist�察�and claim him as a death´bed penitent。 I've had a certain�察�respect for their Church up till now。 If they do a thing like that I shall know that everything stupid people say about them is quite true ´ that it's all superstition and trickery。' Julia said nothing。 'Don't you agree��' Still Julia said nothing。 'Don't you agree��'
    'I don't know�察�Charles。 I simply don't know。'
    And�察�though none of us spoke of it�察�I felt the question ever present�察�growing through all the weeks of Lord Marchmain's illness�察�I saw it when Cordelia drove off early in the mornings to mass�察�I saw it as Cara took to going with her�察�this little cloud�察�the size of a man's hand�察�that was going to swell into a storm among us。
    Now Brideshead�察�in his heavy�察�ruthless way�察�planted the problem down before us。
    'Oh�察�Bridey�察�do you think he would��' asked Cordelia。
    'I shall see that he does�察�' said Brideshead。 'I shall take Father Mackay in to him tomorrow。'
    Still the clouds gathered and did not break�察�none of us spoke。 Cara and Cordelia went back to the sick´room�察�Brideshead looked for a book�察�found one�察�and left us。
    'Julia��' I said�察�'how can we stop this tomfoolery��'
    She did not answer for some time�察�then�此�'Why should we。��'
    'You know as well as I do。 It's just ´just an unseemly incident。'
    'Who am I to object to unseemly incidents��' she asked sadly。 'Anyway�察�what harm can it do�拭�Let's ask the doctor。'
    We asked the doctor�察�who said�此�'It's hard to say。 It might alarm him of course�察�on the other hand�察�I have known cases where it has had a wonderfully soothing effect on a patient�察�I've even known it act as a positive stimulant。 It certainly is usually a great fort to the relations。 Really I think it's a thing for Lord Brideshead to decide。 Mind you�察�there is no need for immediate anxiety。 Lord Marchmain is very weak today�察�tomorrow he may be quite strong again。 Is it not usual to wait a little��'
    'Well�察�he wasn't much help��' I said to Julia�察�when we left him。
    'Help�拭�I really can't quite see why you've taken it so much to heart that my father shall not have the last sacraments。'
    'It's such a lot of witchcraft and hypocrisy。'
    'Is it�拭�Anyway�察�it's been going on for nearly two thousand years。 I don't know why you should suddenly get in a rage now。' Her voice rose�察�she was swift to anger of late months。 'For Christ's sake�察�write to The Times�察�get up and make a speech in Hyde Park�察�start a ;No Popery; riot�察�but don't bore me about it。 What's it got to do with you or me whether my father sees his parish priest��'
    I knew these fierce moods of Julia's�察�such as had overtaken her at the fountain in moonlight�察�and dimly surmised their origin�察�I knew they could not be assuaged by words。 Nor could I have spoken�察�for the answer to her question was still unformed�察�the sense that the fate of more souls than one was at issue�察�that the snow was beginning to shift on the high slopes。

    Brideshead and I breakfasted together next morning with the night´nurse�察�who had just e off duty。
    'He's much brighter today��' she said。 'He slept very nicely for nearly three hours。 When Gaston came to shave him he was quite chatty。'
    'Good��' said Brideshead。 'Cordelia went to mass。 She's driving Father Mackay back here to breakfast。'
    I had met Father Mackay several times�察�he was a stocky�察�middle´aged�察�genial Glasgow´Irishman who�察�when we met�察�was apt to ask me such questions as�察�'Would you say now�察�Mr Ryder�察�that the painter Titian was more truly artistic than the painter Raphael��' and�察�more disconcertingly still�察�to remember my answers�此�'To revert�察�Mr Ryder�察�to what you said when last I had the pleasure to meet you�察�would it be right now to say that the painter Titian。。。' usually ending with some such reflection as�此�'Ah�察�it's a grand resource for a man to have the talent you have�察�Mr Ryder�察�and the time to indulge it。' Cordelia could imitate him。
    This morning he made a hearty breakfast�察�glanced at the headlines of the paper�察�and then said with professional briskness�此�'And now�察�Lord Brideshead�察�would the poor soul be ready to see me�察�do you think��'
    Brideshead led him out�察�Cordelia followed�察�and I was left alone among the breakfast things。 In less than a minute I heard the voices of all three outside the door。
    '。。。can only apologize。'
    '。。。poor soul。 Mark you�察�it was seeing a strange face�察�depend upon it�察�it was that ´ an unexpected stranger。 I well understand it。'
    '。。。Father�察�I am sorry。。。bringing you all this way。。。'
    'Don't think about it at all�察�Lady Cordelia。 Why�察�I've had bottles thrown at me in the Gorbals。。。Give him time。 I've known worse cases make beautiful deaths。 Pray for him。。。I'll e again。。。and now if you'll excuse me I'll just pay a little visit to Mrs Hawkins。 Yes�察�indeed�察�I know the way well。'
    Then Cordelia and Brideshead came into the room。
    'I gather the visit was not a success。'
    'It was not。 Cordelia�察�will you drive Father Mackay home when he es down from nanny�拭�I'm going to telephone to Beryl and see when she needs me home。'
    'Bridey�察�it was horrible。 What are we to do��'
    'We've done everything we can at the moment。' He left the room。
    Cordelia's face was grave�察�she took a piece of bacon from the dish�察�dipped it in mustard and ate it。 'Damn Bridey��' she said�察�'I knew it wouldn't work。'
    'What happened��'
    'Would you like to know�拭�We walked in there in a line�察�Cara was reading the paper aloud to papa。 Bridey said�察 �I've brought Father Mackay to see you;�察�papa said�察 �Father Mackay�察�I am afraid you have been brought here under a misapprehension。 I am not in extremis�察�and I have not been a practising member of your Church for twenty´five years。 Brideshead�察�show Father Mackay the way out。; Then we all turned about and walked away�察�and I heard Cara start reading the paper again�察�and that�察�Charles�察�was that。'
    I carried the news to Julia�察�who lay with her bed´table amid a litter of newspapers and envelopes。 'Mumbo´jumbo is off��' I said。 'The witch´doctor has gone。'
    'Poor papa。'
    'It's great sucks to Bridey。'
    I felt triumphant。 I had been right�察�everyone else had been wrong�察�truth had prevailed�察�the threat that I had felt hanging over Julia and me ever since that evening at the fountain�察�had
been averted�察�perhaps dispelled for ever�察�and there was also ´ I can now confess it ´ another unexpressed�察�inexpressible�察�indecent little victory that I was furtively celebrating。 I guessed that that morning's business had put Brideshead some considerable way further from his rightful inheritance。
    In that I�察�was correct�察�a man was sent for from the solicitors in London�察�in a day or two he came and it was known throughout the house that Lord Marchmain had made a new will。 But I was wrong in thinking that the religious controversy was quashed�察�it flamed up again after dinner on Brideshead's last evening。
    '。。。What papa said was�察 �I am not in extremis�察�I have not been a practising member of the Church for twenty´five years。; '
    'Not ;the Church;�察 �your Church;。'
    'I don't see the difference。'
    'There's every difference。'
    'Bridey�察�it's quite plain what he meant。'
    'I presume he meant what he said。 He meant that he had not been accustomed regularly to receive the sacraments�察�and since he was not at the moment dying�察�he did not mean to change his ways ´ yet。'
    'That's simply a quibble。'
    'Why do people always think that one is quibbling when one tries to be precise�拭�His plain meaning was that he did not want to see a priest that day�察�but that he would when he was ;in extremis;。'
    'I wish someone would explain to me��' I said�察�'quite what the significance of these sacraments is。 Do you mean that if he dies alone he goes to hell�察�and that if a priest puts oil on him ´ '
    'Oh�察�it's not the oil��' said Cordelia�察�'that's to heal him。'
    'Odder still ´ well�察�whatever it is the priest does ´ that he then goes to heaven。 Is that what you believe��'
    Cara then interposed�此�'I think my nurse told me�察�someone did anyway�察�that if the priest got there before the body was cold it was all right。 That's so�察�isn't it��'
    The others turned to her。
    'No�察�Cara�察�it's not。'
    'Of course not。'
    'You've got it all wrong�察�Cara。'
    'Well�察�I remember when Alphonse de Grenet died�察�Madame de Grenet had a priest hidden outside the door ´ he couldn't bear the sight of a priest ´ and brought him in before the body was cold�察�she told me herself�察�and they had a full Requiem for him�察�and I went to it。'
    'Having a Requiem doesn't mean you go to heaven necessarily。'
    'Madame de Grenet thought it did。'
    'Well�察�she was wrong。'
    'Do any of you Catholics know what good you think this priest can do��' I asked。 'Do you simply want to arrange it so that your father can have Christian burial�拭�Do you want to keep him out of hell�拭�I only want to be told。'
    Brideshead told me at some length�察�and when he had finished Cara slightly marred the unity of the Catholic front by saying in simple wonder�察�'I never heard that before。'
    'Let's get this clear��' I said�察�'he has to make an act of will�察�he has to be contrite and wish to be reconciled�察�is that right�拭�But only God knows whether he has really made an act of will�察�the priest can't tell�察�and if there isn't a priest there�察�and he makes the act of will alone�察�that's as good as if there were a priest。 And it's quite possible that the will may still be working when a man is too weak to make any outward sign of it�察�is that right�拭�He may be lying�察�as though for dead�察�and willing all the time�察�and being reconciled�察�and God understands that�察�is that right��'
    'More or less�察�' said Brideshead。
    'Well�察�for heaven's sake。' I said�察�'what is the priest for��' There was a pause in which Julia sighed and Brideshead drew breath as though to start further subdividing the propositions。 In the silence Cara said�察�'All I know is that I shall take very good care to have a priest。'
    'Bless you��' said Cordelia�察�'I believe that's the best answer。'
    And we let the argument drop�察�each for different reasons�察�thinking it had been inconclusive。
    Later Julia said�此�'I wish you wouldn't start these religious arguments。'
    'I didn't start
