Preface
I was motivated from the beginning to write a textbook different from others that
present physics as a sequence of facts, like a Sears catalog: “here are the facts and
you better learn them.” Instead of that approach in which topics are begun
formally and dogmatically, I have sought to begin each topic with concrete
observations and experiences students can relate to: start with specifics and only then
go to the great generalizations and the more formal aspects of a topic, showing w y
we believe what we believe. This approach reflects how science is actually practiced.

Why Fourth Edition?


Two recent trends in physics texbooks are disturbing: (1) their revision cycles
have become short—they are being revised every 3 or 4 years; (2) the books are
getting larger, some over 1500 pages. I don’t see how either trend can be of
benefit to students. My response: (1) It has been 8 years since the previous
edition of this book. (2) This book makes use of physics education research,
although it avoids the detail a Professor may need to say in class but in a book shuts
down the reader. And this book still remains among the shortest.
This new edition introduces some important new pedagogic tools. It contains
new physics (such as in cosmology) and many new appealing applications (list on
previous page). Pages and page breaks have been carefully formatted to make the
physics easier to follow: no turning a page in the middle of a derivation or Example.
Great efforts were made to make the book attractive so students will want to read it.
Some of the new features are listed below.

Wh t's New
C apter-Opening Questions: Each hapter begins with a multiple-choice question,
whose responses include common misconceptions. Students are asked to answer
before starting the hapter, to get them involved in the material and to get any
preconceived notions out on the table. The issues reappear later in the hapter,
usually as Exercises, after the material has been covered. The hapter-Opening
Questions also show students the power and usefulness of Physics.
APPROACH paragrap in worked-out numerical Examples .A short introductory
paragraph before the Solution, outlining an approach and the steps we can take to
get started. Brief NOTES after the Solution may remark on the Solution, may give
an alternate approach, or mention an application.
Step -by -Step Examples: After many Problem Solving Strategies (more than 20 in
the book), the next Example is done step-by-step following precisely the steps just
seen.
Exercises within the text, after an Example or derivation, give students a chance to
see if they have understood enough to answer a simple question or do a simple
calculation. Many are multiple choice.
Greater clarity : No topic, no paragraph in this book was overlooked in the search
to improve the clarity and conciseness of the presentation. Phrases and sentences
that may slow down the principal argument have been eliminated: keep to the
essentials at first, give the elaborations later.
F, y, B Vector notation, arrows: The symbols for vector quantities in the text and Figures
now have a tiny arrow over them, so they are similar to what we write by hand.
Cosmological Revolution: With generous help from top experts in the field,
readers have the latest results.

xiv PREFACE
Page layout: more than in the previous edition, serious attention has been paid to
how each page is formatted. Examples and all important derivations and
arguments are on facing pages. Students then don’t have to turn back and forth.
Throughout, readers see, on two facing pages, an important slice of physics.
New Applications'. L Ds, digital cameras and electronic sensors ( D, MOS),
electric hazards, GF Is, photocopiers, inkjet and laser printers, metal detectors,
underwater vision, curve balls, airplane wings, DNA, how we actually see images.
(Turn back a page to see a longer list.)
Examples modified: more math steps are spelled out, and many new Examples
added. About 10% of all Examples are Estimation Examples.
T is Book is S orter than other complete full-service books at this level. Shorter
explanations are easier to understand and more likely to be read.

• Rot tion l Motion: hapters 10 and 11 have been reorganized. All of angular
momentum is now in hapter 11.
• First l w of thermodyn mics, in hapter 19, has been rewritten and extended.
The full form is given: AK + AU + AEint = Q — W, where internal energy is
Ete, and U is potential energy; the form Q — W is kept so that dW = P dV.
• Kinematics and Dynamics of ircular Motion are now treated together in
hapter 5.
• Work and Energy, hapters 7 and 8, have been carefully revised.
• Work done by friction is discussed now with energy conservation (energy
terms due to friction).
• hapters on Inductance and A ircuits have been combined into one:
hapter 30.
• Graphical Analysis and Numerical Integration is a new optional Section 2 -9.
Problems requiring a computer or graphing calculator are found at the end
of most hapters.
• Length of an object is a script £ rather than normal /, which looks like 1 or I

About the Author


Douglas . Giancoli obtained his BA in physics (summa cum laude) from the
University of alifornia, Berkeley, his MS in physics at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, and his PhD in elementary particle physics at the University of ali­
fornia, Berkeley. He spent 2 years as a post-doctoral fellow at U Berkeley’s Virus
lab developing skills in molecular biology and biophysics. His mentors include
Nobel winners Emilio Segre and Donald Glaser.
He has taught a wide range of undergraduate courses, traditional as well as
innovative ones, and continues to update his texbooks meticulously, seeking ways to
better provide an understanding of physics for students.
Doug’s favorite spare-time activity is the outdoors, especially climbing peaks
(here on a dolomite summit, Italy). He says climbing peaks is like learning physics:
it takes effort and the rewards are great.

PREFACE xvii
To Students
HOW TO STUDY
1. Read the hapter. Learn new vocabulary and notation. Try to respond to
questions and exercises as they occur.
2. Attend all class meetings. Listen. Take notes, especially about aspects you do
not remember seeing in the book. Ask questions (everyone else wants to, but
maybe you will have the courage). You will get more out of class if you read
the hapter first.
3. Read the hapter again, paying attention to details. Follow derivations and
worked-out Examples. Absorb their logic. Answer Exercises and as many of
the end of hapter Questions as you can.
4. Solve 10 to 20 end of hapter Problems (or more), especially those assigned.
In doing Problems you find out what you learned and what you didn’t. Discuss
them with other students. Problem solving is one of the great learning tools.
Don’t just look for a formula — it won’t cut it.

NOTES ON THE FORMAT AND PROBLEM SOLVING


1. Sections marked with a star (*) are considered option l. They can be omitted
without interrupting the main flow of topics. No later material depends on
them except possibly later starred Sections. They may be fun to read, though.
2. The customary conventions are used: symbols for quantities (such as m for
mass) are italicized, whereas units (such as m for meter) are not italicized.
Symbols for vectors are shown in boldface with a small arrow above: F.
3. Few equations are valid in all situations. Where practical, the limit tions of
important equations are stated in square brackets next to the equation. The
equations that represent the great laws of physics are displayed with a tan
background, as are a few other indispensable equations.
4. At the end of each hapter is a set of Problems which are ranked as Level I, II, or
III, according to estimated difficulty. Level I Problems are easiest, Level II are
standard Problems, and Level III are “challenge problems.” These ranked
Problems are arranged by Section, but Problems for a given Section may depend
on earlier material too. There follows a group of General Problems, which are not
arranged by Section nor ranked as to difficulty. Problems that relate to optional
Sections are starred (*). Most hapters have 1 or 2 omputer/Numerical
Problems at the end, requiring a computer or graphing calculator. Answers to
odd-numbered Problems are given at the end of the book.
5. Being able to solve Problems is a crucial part of learning physics, and provides
a powerful means for understanding the concepts and principles. This book
contains many aids to problem solving: (a) worked-out Ex mples and their
solutions in the text, which should be studied as an integral part of the text;
(b)some of the worked-out Examples are Estim tion Ex mples, which show
how rough or approximate results can be obtained even if the given data are
sparse (see Section 1 -6); (c) special Problem Solving Str tegies placed
throughout the text to suggest a step-by-step approach to problem solving
for a particular topic— but remember that the basics remain the same;
most of these “Strategies” are followed by an Example that is solved by
explicitly following the suggested steps; (d) special problem-solving Sections;
(e) “Problem Solving” marginal notes which refer to hints within the text for
solving Problems; (f) Exercises within the text that you should work out imme­
diately, and then check your response against the answer given at the bottom of
the last page of that hapter; (g) the Problems themselves at the end of each
hapter (point 4 above).
6. Conceptu l Ex mples pose a question which hopefully starts you to think and
come up with a response. Give yourself a little time to come up with your own
response before reading the Response given.
7. M th review, plus some additional topics, are found in Appendices. Useful data,
conversion factors, and math formulas are found inside the front and back covers.

"Just as it is, mind. No tinkering it—just as it is—because she rested
here. But that's all one. She shall have her stone, if parson lets me put it up;
and her name shall be cut upon it."

"I'm sure he'll let you, father."

"But no cross. She's born her cross in life; the cross I put on her; the
cross she broke down and died under. I'll bear her cross now, and if men
was to come and say 'Jacob Bullstone, we be going to crucify you on your
wife's cross,' I should thank God and glory in it."

"Don't you talk wild like that. Come home. It's getting dark and offering
for rain. I'm so glad about the stone. Mother will like that; and you mustn't
think she's dead, father."

"We'll meet again—in the earth. I'll lie next to her, as close as graves are
allowed. I'll get to her, bone to her bone, ashes to her ashes, dust to her dust
some day."

She comforted him to the best of her powers and he rose and took his
hat from her and put it on. It was dark before they returned, and then he
lighted a lamp and went to his own room. There they heard him busy with
the drawers of the big wardrobe he had bought for Margery.

George Middleweek advised that he should be left alone. Auna called


him to supper and he came quietly and appeared to be more calm and
controlled. But he spoke of feeling very weary and began to talk concerning
Huntingdon. He declared his determination to leave Red House as soon as
possible and henceforth live at the warrens. His children listened and Peter
was secretly fired with great hopes that his father might keep his word.
Already he saw himself master of the dogs.
CHAPTER XI

DRIVING IN THE PONIES

For a season the soul of Jacob shrank from all life and found its only
peace in solitude. Now and again, for a day or two, the wish to be alone
would leave him; then he would go to Marydrew, or Adam Winter, and pour
out a flood of futile opinions. They bore with him and strove to restore his
peace. But he would soon seclude himself again and, on one or two
occasions, he spent the night alone at Huntingdon. He had determined to
dwell there in time to come; but those that cared for him trusted that before
spring returned he would change his mind. William, when opportunity
offered, pressed occupation on his friend and assured him that only by way
of work would serenity return; but Jacob could not work. His restlessness
drove him to be moving always. He left his business in the hands of Peter
and was impatient if either he, or George Middleweek, even desired his
advice.

He would not see a doctor. He declared that the physician who attended
upon his wife had poisoned his mind against all doctors. But he spoke
kindly of his own attendant at the Cottage Hospital. Sometimes he was
violent and blasphemed before his children. He often went to his wife's
grave, to see if the soil were sinking. Auna was glad on the days that he
chose to do this, because it made him easier. His furies seldom extended to
any at Red House, though he turned much against John Henry and Avis,
because they did not come to see him. Once or twice he set out to visit them
on horseback, yet always changed his mind and rode into the moor instead.

Auna often begged to come with him when he wandered away; but he
rarely suffered her to do so. For a time he seemed indifferent even to her—a
phase that represented the extremity of his distemper.

"You're too much like your mother," he told her once. "I doubt I'll be
able to endure you much longer. It's living with her ghost, rather than her
child."
In one of his wildest moods he had said that; but she knew he did not
mean it. He was careless of his garments and person now and looked to
Auna for a thousand attentions—indeed had long done so.

She suspected that her father wanted to die and asked old William what
should be done about it; but Mr. Marydrew advised nothing.

"Let him go his own gait," he told her. "If he dies, he dies; but more like
he'll grow easier and come back to himself presently."

Jacob brought news from the moor. His values had all changed and
sometimes a sort of peace did crown his lonely days; but it was not a sane
peace. He talked as though human beings signified nothing; he lifted the
unconscious creatures and their good and evil to first place in his speech
and showed an interest in the prosperity of the coneys, the welfare of the
fox and her cubs, the providence of the badger and his shifts to live through
the naked winter months. At no time could it be said that he spoke as one
insane; but he hovered on the brink of mental disaster and displayed a
distortion of perspective akin to craziness.

George Middleweek suspected that Bullstone was concealing himself


behind a pretence; but Adam Winter, to whom he explained his view, knew
Jacob better.

"He couldn't pretend," he said. "His brains are on the knife's edge. All
we can hope is that his bodily strength will save him, and that his mind will
right itself."

They debated whether speech or silence was the better for Jacob, and
agreed that his passion, venting itself in words, served to let the poison free.
The occasional periods of taciturnity, when Jacob would not speak, or eat,
or even move sometimes for many hours, they believed the more dangerous
signals. So they watched him and did what they might, which was little;
while Auna, grown to a woman in mind, kept as near to her father as
possible, studied his every mood and learned in time how best to meet each
wave of feeling, where to oppose, where to heap endearments, where to talk
and throw herself into the subject of the moment, where to listen and make
no answer that might fret.
There came a day when a harsh cold fell upon the moors and Robert
Elvin rode to bring in some of his ponies. Beyond Ugborough's rocky
summit, where its ramparts rose above the grey web of the forest, the waste
swept in featureless folds northerly for mile on mile. All was now sombre,
iron rusty and black. Sad-coloured garments held the hills and over them a
wind from the north-east swept, dry and bitter in the blade. It brought a
haze to lessen the austerity of the winter heath, and it made a low whimper,
which rose and fell, now brushing the sharper sound of running waters to
the ear, now deadening their murmur as it lulled, now increasing to gusts,
that woke a tinkle from the dead heather and hummed to a deeper note upon
the granite face of some great stone. Where the hills fell to each other's feet,
rillets ran winding irregular threads among the boulders; and here was the
highest light of these far-flung sobrieties; where, at fall and ripple, flashed
grey foam, or spread some still and limpid pool to reflect the ash-coloured
sky.

It seemed that winter had uttered an ultimate note, that the vitality of
earth was sunk to its lowest, that her heart beat more slowly and her sleep
sounded deeper than at any day until now. It was the dark hour before the
dawn of another year and inanimate life seemed to have receded beneath
the surface of things, while animate life had retreated to the greater comfort
of the low lands.

Robert found his ponies, a dozen of them, clustered knee-deep in dead


fern on the lee of a tor. They were dejected and showed pleasure at his
coming. He sent his dog forward and soon the little cavalcade was trotting
off the hills, down through a long and narrow coomb which opened above
Owley, two miles to the south.

Then suddenly he came upon his father-in-law sitting as still as the


stone under him. It was uplifted by the way in the eye of the harsh wind; yet
Jacob reposed indifferent, gazing over the moor, his stick beside him, his
hands clasped together. Robert stopped, dismounted and approached.

"Hullo, father! You didn't ought to be up here in this wind," he said and
extended his hand. Jacob shook it and apparently proceeded with his
thoughts aloud.
"I like to feel my marrow growing cold inside the bones. It teaches you
how it'll be at the end, when the last cold comes that no fire can heat again.
The crested plovers are all gone from the moor, Bob Elvin. You see them,
so wise and dainty are they, running about in the lew fields and round the
corn-stacks, like little pixy people. And they lift their kitten cries to keep
themselves warm. But when the weather breaks, they'll soon fly back to
their haunts again."

"So they will then. Get moving now. Drop in and have a tell with us at
Owley and a good cup of tea to warm you. I'm taking my ponies down to
the yard for shelter. Thank the Lord we're well to do for hay this year; the
cattle can spare them a bite. We've got enough for all."

"I'm troubled for the foxes, however. There's no security in nature,


Robert. All hand to mouth; and the rabbits lie so low, and there's not a
beetle or a frog moving."

Robert laughed.

"The baggering foxes have picked up one or two of my chickens of


late," he said.

"Don't be too hard on them. They're a fine, fearless people and it's cruel
work standing before hounds on an empty belly. No security. Many soft-
billed birds are dropping dead out of the trees by night—just for hunger and
cold. No mercy shown; none expected. Only a man here and there knows
the meaning of mercy. But the creatures have their bit of luck, Robert.
Terror of death cannot fret them and sense of wrong can't wound their
hearts. Great privileges you see. And how's your fine wife? A better wife
than daughter, I hope?"

"Don't say that, father. Our thoughts are often along with you. Avis and
me would be terrible glad to comfort you if we could."

"Judith Huxam, my children's grandmother, once said that I should call


upon the hills to cover me. She said right. I have. But they refuse. A very
respectable thing to worship the Lord, Bob Elvin; only take heed to stop at
that. Don't try and follow Him, or do what He tells you, else you'll be
locked up, or get into the workhouse. Worship at a distance. There may be
better bread than is made of wheat, but human nature can't digest it—can't
digest the teaching of Christ. It's no good. The lawyers and the politicians,
the traders and the soldiers, and the sailors and even the parsons—such as
are honest—they'll all tell you it won't work."

"Come on, father; don't sit here no more. Jump up on my cob and I'll
walk beside you."

"I'm going to give Owley to your wife. It was ordained from the first,
and my Margery agreed it should be so."

"You have, master. A very grand start in life you've offered us."

"Did my late wife know about it?"

"Yes, Mrs. Bullstone knew all about it."

"Good. I killed her, Bob. If I'd fired a gun into her heart, I couldn't have
killed her surer. A pretty awful thing; but have no fear I'm not going to pay
for it. When a man commits murder, they ought not to put him away: they
ought to keep him alive, as long as ever they can, and let his sin gnaw into
him, like a cancer, inch by inch. All sin's a cancer: it eats the heart, but it
leaves the core to go on throbbing, so that the sinner may suffer as long as
his flesh and bones hang together."

"Don't you say these fearful things. Come now, else Avis will wonder
what's happened to me. There's a lot of good life ahead of you, Mr.
Bullstone, and a lot of valuable work to be done—so clever as you are."

"There is—I grant that much. Much work for my fellow-creatures. But
you can't accept man till you've denied God, Robert. That's a hard saying
for your boy's ears, no doubt. Yet so it is. You can't make man your first
thought and his welfare your faith, till you've put God Almighty and all
other graven images behind your back."

"Don't you think that; you'll come back to God presently. I'm sure He's
waiting for you, father."
Jacob shook his head.

"I don't ask you to do the like," he said. "Let every man trust his God so
long as he can, and so far as he can. But be honest, and when your dark day
comes and you can't trust any more, then fear not to say so."

Bob remounted his pony, which was beginning to shiver.

"I must get on," he declared. "And I pray you'll come down and drink a
dish of tea before you start for home. Do now, father."

Jacob appeared to have forgotten him; but then he turned to him again.

"Small creatures fall light, remember. A grasshopper can drop where a


bullock would break his neck. Pity's often wasted on those that don't need it
and withheld from such as do. I fell heavy. I'm heavy in body and heavy in
mind. I'm smashed up for good and all now; but no pity for me—no pity in
Heaven above, or on the earth beneath. And I doubt—I very much doubt,
between ourselves, whether I'd take it even if 'twas offered, young fellow."

"You'll find peace—you'll find peace. I'm sure there's a lot are praying
for you," murmured Elvin. Then Jacob rose off the rock, nodded to him and
limped off northward.

The gloaming was already coming down.

Robert drove his ponies home, gave them the hospitality of the
farmyard and a shake of hay, then went in to his wife.

Tea was ready and his mother, quicker to mark the young man's moods
than Avis, asked him presently if anything were amiss.

"Don't tell me the cold have got into you, Bob," she said.

"No, mother," he answered; "but a wisht thing happened. Poor Mr.


Bullstone—up over—sitting like a lone hawk on a rock. He wouldn't come
for a drop of tea, though I begged him, and he's going mad terrible fast by
the look of it."
"He'll kill himself before much longer," declared Avis. "And he'll kill
Auna too: she's fretting to fiddlestrings about him. A very good thing if
poor father was to die, I reckon. For what's the use of living like him—a
scourge to himself and nuisance to everybody else?"

"He's suffered such a lot that it's shaken his mind," answered Bob. "But
no doubt, in good hands, he could be coaxed round again. He's not so old as
he looks, and he's tremendous strong, else he couldn't face the weather like
he does."

"Maybe Huntingdon will calm him. A spot surely to tame man or


beast," said the elder Mrs. Elvin; "but yet, on the other hand, it might
overthrow all. I'm very sorry for Auna—'tis far too much to put upon a
young creature."

"Her father's her life in a manner of speaking," replied Robert, "Where


he goes, she'll go. Peter says that Huntingdon would be a good thing very
likely, for Mr. Bullstone hinders more than he helps now. He's getting a bit
jealous of Peter—so Peter thinks."

"Not him," answered Avis. "That's only Peter's vanity."

"What does your grandfather say about it?" asked the mother-in-law of
Avis.

"He haven't had much time to think about my father, because


grandmother was so queer for a bit when mother died. But she's pretty right
again now, and they're soon moving into the villa, and grandfather's terrible
busy. By the same token I must go down to-morrow and help Aunt Jane.
I've promised to take the children off her hands for a few hours. A great
upheaval."

"So it is then. A very strange thought—the post-office and the shop


without Mrs. Huxam in it; but it's time they retired and the name will be
carried on."

Avis considered.
"For how long I wonder. Uncle Jeremy's got it all at his finger ends—so
he says, but John Henry vows he'll never stick to it."

Her mother-in-law brought the subject back to Jacob.

"I hope Barlow Huxam will consider about your father in a Christian
spirit," she said. "Something should be done for Mr. Bullstone, and I
wouldn't say but what you and John Henry oughtn't to try and get a doctor
to him."

"He'd never see nobody, and he's turned against us," declared Avis.
"He's fairly friendly to grandfather I believe, but not to grandmother. He
never did like her, because she saw he was not a godly man, and she kept
mother away from him when the devil tempted poor mother to try and go
back. He's the fifth wheel of a coach now—father is. A know-nought, rash
man always, and it's no unkindness to wish he was out of his sufferings I'm
sure. He's a disgrace to us all in a manner of speaking, mother."

The elder woman considered and shook her head.

"That's a hard word," she answered,

"He ended mother's days whether or no," argued Avis. "And mother was
always a thousand times more to us than father. And you can't expect us—
especially me with my honeymoon spoiled—to feel overmuch for him."

"Auna was always the one for your father," said Mrs. Elvin. "It was the
same from the beginning."

"Because she was so like mother," answered Avis. "Mother must have
been the daps of Auna, when she was young. But why Auna always clung
to father and put him before everybody, none of us ever did know.
Grandmother's done with her, because she's a liar."

"They are too different in their natures to get on very well I expect,"
said Robert. "Come out and look at the ponies afore it's dark, Avis."

They were still lovers and only happy in each other's company.
CHAPTER III

THE PILGRIM FATHERS

None could explain the malady that overtook Judith Huxam after the
death of her daughter. The termination of Margery's life did not appear to be
the cause, for Judith shed no tears on man or woman who, as she described
it, had "died in Christ." Her child was safe, and the febrile disorder that
upset Mrs. Huxam on returning home arose from other causes. All, save
Barlow himself, supposed that she was very naturally shocked into sickness
by the events reported from the Barbican. How she had taken Margery to
her brother's, that she might pass in peace; how Bullstone had discovered
the hiding-place and thrust in upon it; how he had actually arrived but a few
moments after his wife's death; and how Judith's struggle against the
violence of the men had caused her to faint in Barlow's arms—these things
were known, and none of her own circle but applauded Mrs. Huxam,
rejoiced that she had achieved her high purpose, and felt that such a victory
was more than sufficient to explain her subsequent collapse.

One, however, understood it differently, and that was Mr. Huxam. He


believed that the cause of Judith's tribulation rested with himself. Indeed, as
time passed and his wife gradually returned to physical strength and her
accustomed health of mind and body, Barlow perceived that he had done a
thing which would modify Judith's attitude to him for ever.

That at least became clear—a picture indelibly printed on the combined


surface of their lives when the storm had passed, their daughter was in her
grave and the tumultuous moments of her death a memory. Slowly Huxam
understood that henceforth his wife would not regard him as of old. That he
should have assisted Jacob to find her was, it appeared, a lapse that could
never leave future relations unmarked, and when again he saw her brother,
Lawrence Pulleyblank, who had also won Judith's displeasure, the old
fisherman doubted not that Barlow's action, together with the united
operation of the three men in breaking down the door, had for ever
darkened Judith's opinion of them both. Lawrence trusted that, with time,
his sister would see their deed was natural, in the light of her silence when
they challenged; but Barlow knew better.

The estrangement fell awkwardly, for now came the great change in the
life of the Huxams. The bustle and business consequent on leaving the post-
office for their new home offered a respite, but all was soon accomplished
and presently the husband and wife found themselves thrown together after
a fashion unfamiliar since their earliest married days. Only when their
retirement had been completed did they gradually come to perceive all that
it implied, and the dislocation of their lives, that resulted from thus
dropping the habits of half a century. The change completed Judith's cure
and restored her vitality and energy; but one aspect of the new existence
they had not paused to consider, and now it was forced upon them. Neither
had been concerned with their future occupations save vaguely; but such
plans as they had formed proved wholly unequal to filling the startling and
immense spaces of leisure now thrust into their lives. Barlow had imagined
himself gardening with Margery, and thus ordering his time and energies;
he designed, too, some weekly hours at the shop, that he might assist Jane
and his son and launch them into the details of the business. For the rest he
had not planned anything; while Judith hoped that her new existence would
offer more leisure for reading desirable books and aiding her neighbours.
They came thus into a world of new experience; and when all was done, the
house arranged in every detail to Mrs. Huxam's liking, the new garden at a
stage when nature's more leisurely processes succeeded Barlow's zeal, they
found themselves faced with a generous gift of time and some difficulty to
fill the lengthening days.

It was then that the cloud he had hoped to dispel settled into a
permanent canopy and Barlow found that his wife was changed. In no
actual relation could he declare any alteration, but the former, mental
understanding had failed. She did not trust him as of old and her outlook on
life had taken a new colour also. It was tinged with melancholy. Grey and
austere it had always been, but not downcast as now. He almost fancied
sometimes that the note of triumphant assurance had left her voice. The
change influenced him a great deal, and on an occasion when he was at the
shop with his daughter-in-law he uttered an alarm. They were good friends
and Jane was old enough to understand some of his difficulties.

"It's fear for my future that's at the bottom of all this," Barlow told his
son's wife. "People think that Mrs. Huxam is a bit under the weather,
because of the great change into our villa residence; but a thing like that is
of no account to her. She's troubling about me—that's the anxiety. When I
took Jacob Bullstone to his dying wife, I did a thing that your mother-in-law
felt to be above measure wrongful. She may be right and, if I thought she
was, I should confess as much; but I can honestly look back and feel it
wasn't a wrong thing. The sufferings of that man were real; and I was rent
myself to know that Margery was going home; and between my own grief
and his, what more natural that I should take him to say his last farewell?
He was an evil man and he'd done fearful wrong, but one thing I never will
allow—that he could by word, or touch, have cost Margery her salvation.
Far more likely a word, or touch, from her might have saved him. And so I
took the man; but the shocking upshot, Jane—the shocking upshot is that
my dear wife no longer feels sure whether I haven't doomed myself for all
eternity by that deed!"

Jane begged him to banish any such painful suspicion.

"I'm sure it's at the very foundation of things that you're saved, just as
much as she is," said his daughter-in-law. "There's some great truths we
take for granted, and that's one of 'em. If I was you, I'd have it out with her."

"A woman like my wife, who lives, you may say, with one foot in the
other world, will sometimes find the heavenly light to dazzle her, if you
catch my meaning, Jane," said Mr. Huxam. "With her standards of conduct
and her face always lifted to the divine perfection, she may well perhaps
lose the sense of proportion and forget that if we was all perfect, there
wouldn't be any need for us to be saved. She probably don't allow enough
for the power of Jesus Christ to fetch in His lost sheep."

Barlow raised the question again on the following Sunday, when Mrs.
Huxam, during the stagnation between dinner and tea, had permitted herself
an hour with a book. It was a work that Lawrence Pulleyblank had
discovered at a second-hand bookseller's shop in Plymouth. For he was a
strenuous reader himself, within limited boundaries, and this work, entitled
"The Sabbath of New England," had given him infinite satisfaction. He had
sent it to Judith as a peace-offering in some sort.

Mrs. Huxam now learned what a Sabbath might be, and had actually
once been, as ordered by the Pilgrim Fathers—they who sailed from Mr.
Pulleyblank's own Barbican in times past. She had seen the white stone
which recorded their departure, and now she pursued the book and marked
the many passages her brother's black lead pencil had underlined.

Pain and pleasure accompanied the perusal. If England chastised sin


with whips, it appeared that these New Englanders had wielded scorpions
for their ungodly. The details of their rule braced Mrs. Huxam's spirit, while
it drooped a little when she reflected that such discipline was lost to the
world for ever.

She read the Blue Laws of Connecticut and other literary survivals. She
considered the penances and penalties inflicted on those who broke the
Lord's Day, and found therein a code of perfection beyond even her own
dreams. She learned how the law drove all to worship and locked the doors
upon them until the exercise was ended; how Tabitha Morgan was fined
three shillings and sixpence for playing on the Lord's Day, and Deborah
Banks—a deeper sinner—paid five shillings for a like offence; how Jonah
and Susan Smith were seen to smile and suffered accordingly; how Lewis
and Sarah Chapman—sweethearts—were found in goodman Chapman's
garden sitting under an apple tree—branch of ill omen—and fined for their
levity; how Elizabeth Eddy was seen to hang out clothes upon the Sabbath
Day and mulcted ten shillings for her lapse.

Mrs. Huxam contemplated such a Sunday with enthusiasm and the


printed page brought a rare flush to her cheek. But worse followed and her
brother had doubly scored the fall of mariners, which too often happened.
There was Captain Kemble, of Boston, newly come off a three years'
voyage, who publicly kissed his wife, the day being Sunday; and devout
persons were compelled to witness the offence, since it took place under the
open sky on the erring man's front-door step. Another master of a Boston
vessel, caught loitering in the streets, during those later hours of Saturday
sanctified by law to "catechising and preparations for the Sabbath," was
followed by a constable and dragged to prison. But in his case divine
retribution delayed not and the little child of this sailor fell into a well on
the following day and was drowned; whereupon the contrite wretch
acknowledged the Hand of God and the justice of his punishment in open
congregation.

These were they who had fled from England to escape religious
persecution.

It was at this stage of her enquiry that Mr. Huxam joined his wife in the
parlour of their villa residence, and she took off her spectacles to utter an
aspiration.

"Oh, for the grand old days and the grand old faith!" she sighed, and he,
who had already dipped into "The Sabbath of New England," assured her
that while such as she still stood for the Light, some fine breath and after
flavour of those adamant times yet breathed its essence over the earth, to be
caught up and preserved and passed forward by the will of the Everlasting.

"While the Chosen Few remain, the work goes on," he said.

"I'm not repining," she answered. "I'm not even wishing I'd lived among
those grand people, because that would be to want what my Saviour didn't
will; but the flesh is weak, and reading of such high Christianity makes one
mourn for the present day."

"You open the road to a thought a good bit on my nerves of late—ever


since our Margery went home," he told her. "The better the day, the better
the deed, so I'll openly tell you that I'm much fearing, Judith, you don't hold
me quite so high as you were used to do."

His wife looked at him and set down her Sunday reading. She did not
answer and he continued.

"Of course I know the reason; but I'm a long way short of being
convinced that you are right. You hold it was a shameful abuse of
confidence and deliberate danger to Margery that I should have let her
husband have the chance to see her alive; and you think that action has put
me in a very doubtful position. Well, I disagree, Judy."

"I know you do, so what's the good of talking about it? I'm not your
judge, Barlow. I feel sometimes that—I feel, in fact, nobody can be
positive. You'll call that a weak word coming from me; but I've been a bit
bruised and battered by the powers of evil myself of late."

"Never!" exclaimed Mr. Huxam. "Are you sure what you are saying?"

She looked away with strained eyes, as though surveying the


tempestuous places of her own soul.

"Nobody so strong but they may yet fall," she said. "Another of the
devil's tricks I've found of late—they're endless, and 'tis a pity some godly
man, with the power of the pen, can't make a list of those dark wiles and set
'em down for our guidance and warning."

"He won't waste his time with you, I reckon," answered Mr. Huxam.
"The devil knows when he's down and out—none quicker."

"A cunning plot—to let a person go for years and years building up for
righteousness, until they feel strong in the Lord and in the power of His
might; and then, like a thief, to come some fine day, when least expected,
and strike with all his strength! Years he'll let you go, for he knows the
people who are proof against the common trick of his trade; years he'll pass
by, till a godly creature takes heart and believes the world, the flesh and the
devil are all left behind; but no—he's never left behind!"

"It he's struck at you, he's only had his trouble for his pains," vowed
Barlow.

"Easy to say. But I want more Light. I'm groping a bit just now. The
Lord sends fears and terrors."

"You do amaze me," he answered, "and I hope this will be a lesson to


you and me to cleave closer in heart than of late we have done. First our
dear child's death under terrible circumstances, and then this hugeous
upheaval have thrown us apart; but I'm glad you've spoke and done me the
compliment to tell me you're not so content as usual. That must be mended,
because if you were to feel a grain of doubt about things, then the linch-
pin's out of the wheel and the roof-tree of the house is broken. So I hope
you'll begin by getting quite right with yourself, for all our sakes, Judy."

"Can a human creature be too zealous for God?" asked she. "That's the
question I put to myself, and three months ago I'd have been in no doubt of
the answer."

"There is no doubt," he replied, "and if you feel a doubt, that is only to


say you're not well again yet. You want a dose of strong medicine. Not
medicine for the soul, I don't mean, but medicine for the body. I've often
known a liver pill to bring me a good step nearer God, because it's His
Almighty plan that soul and body be very close cogged together, so long as
they bide on one earth. And clean and healthy organs help the higher parts.
You see Mr. Briggs again, and then, after you've took a good dollop of his
cautcheries, I'll promise you won't feel any more doubts. Conscience
depends more on the bowels than we've any idea. None can be too zealous
for God; and none can be zealous enough for that matter. I've noticed a dull
look about your eyes ever since we come into our own, and I've seen the
same expression on my own face; and I'll tell you what it is, Judy. It's
weariness, because we ain't weary. Not to feel tired when you go to bed
argues something wrong. In a word you can't work for fifty years and then
suddenly become a lady and gentleman in a villa residence and not suffer
pretty sharp. In my case, it takes the shape of indigestion and sleeplessness;
in yours, being a soulful creature before all else, you get in the fidgets about
religion."

She considered this.

"I could greatly wish you were right," she said, exhibiting a mild and
almost pensive mood which was foreign to her. "I've had my suspicions
once and again. It's dangerous, even for a woman of my age to sit with her
hands in her lap, and know that if she rings a bell, another will come to wait
upon her."
"You've been ill and had to be waited upon; besides we figured it all
out: we knew that our new life would embrace rest and time for our
innocent happiness."

"We must be sleepless in well-doing, however, or else we may go


down."

"Our life seems to be emptied out, I grant that," he answered, "There's


not so much to it as there was, and light things—like gardening and reading
books and so on—can't fill the gap."

"No," she said. "Where there's a hole in your life, the first person ready
and willing to fill it is the devil. You talk about 'innocent happiness,' and yet
all experience goes to show that happiness is doubtfully innocent at best.
I've never felt too sure that God put the longing for happiness in us.
Security's better than happiness. In fact there's no happiness, rightly so
called, without it. And that thought is making me suffer a good deal. And
physic's no use against fear."

Mr. Huxam scratched his head.

"I don't much like what you're saying," he replied. "If I thought the villa
residence was coming between us and the work of the Holy Ghost——"

He regarded the prospect blankly and Judith made no effort to dull its
gloomy proportions.

"Come and drink tea," he said. "We know where to trust, and it's no
good getting our tails down at our age. We've faced life and its many bitters
up till now, and it would be a fantastical come-along-of-it if we failed under
the reward of well-doing. Who sent this house, tell me that?"

"God," admitted Mrs. Huxam. "And why did He send it? We don't know
yet. We pray Him not to lead us into temptation; but we well know it's a
part of His discipline so to do."

"We'll look out, never fear," replied Barlow. "But we'll look out in a
large spirit, Judy. We mustn't think this commodious home is a trap to make
us forget our heavenly home. 'Twould be to look a gift horse in the mouth,
my dear—a very ill-convenient thing against God or man."

CHAPTER IV

EVENING STAR

Only fitfully did Jacob Bullstone accept his situation. He was


occasionally resigned and spoke with rational appreciation of facts; but
often it seemed that his mind still stood at a point in time before his wife
had passed. The actual loss he appeared to forget upon days of stress. Such
moments, however, occurred less frequently than at first. Auna never
resisted his proposals now, or attempted to prevent the long days alone that
he was constantly planning. For she found that her father returned the better
and the saner from these days. Words that man was powerless to speak, he
heard from the solitudes. The hills had not covered, but they had comforted
him. As the spring waxed, he increased the number of these expeditions and
separated himself for longer intervals from his kind. He watched the
lengthened evenings sink to sunsetting and the dawns open cold and sweet
before the sun. He declared that Time was a being, and tried to explain to
Auna that Time wearied at night-fall, slept by night and woke again
invigorated with the dawn.

She humoured his imaginings and was always thankful when any
subject outside himself could arrest his thoughts. But that was seldom. He
suffered evil days and, when they came, Auna devoted herself to him and
let all lesser duties mind themselves.

There came over Bullstone a long period of fruitless rage. Having for a
season heaped contumely upon his own head and wondered why the people
did not rise up and stone him; having subsequently mourned and become
very silent through the passage of four weeks, his unsteady mind broke into
a frenzy and his self-restraint failed, so that Auna shook in fear and Peter
began to tell the people that his father was mad. But after a calenture,
during which he cursed fate, flouted heaven, and uttered many profanities,
which terrified Auna and pleased George Middleweek, Jacob grew calmer
again and was almost childish for a season. He became more mild and
humble, less envenomed against destiny.

People were sorry for Auna and Peter, but there seemed to be few to
help them. Adam Winter, however, kept in touch with them, and William
Marydrew often came to Red House on one pretext or another. He had
declared from the first that Jacob would recover, so far as his brain was
concerned. He knew Bullstone best and had the art to calm him quicklier
than any other man was able to do. For Jacob felt William to be trustworthy
and loyal. He often went to see him, and if any idea suddenly struck into the
sufferer's thoughts, he would either convey it to William, or describe it to
Auna. At this season his egotism was supreme and only at rare moments
was he able to dismiss his projects, or himself, from the substance of
speech.

A trivial thought took Jacob one day as he stood among his dogs, and he
turned his back upon them, left Red House and, following the river, soon
reached Mr. Marydrew's cottage.

"It's borne in on me that there are three sorts of men and only three,
William," he said, standing before the ancient and looking down at him,
where he sat smoking his pipe in his porch.

"A very simple earth if there was only three sorts of men on it, Jacob."

"Three sorts—those that leave the world better than they found it; those
that leave it worse; and those that go through it like shadows and make no
more mark than shadows do. And I thought, in my pride, I was the first sort
of man, and never guessed to be the second."

He sat down on the bench beside William.

"We most of us leave the world better than we found it by a few kind
actions and decent thoughts," declared Billy. "Very few go through life
without doing their fellow-creatures a good turn here and there. Certainly
you've done a lot of good in your time and many can testify to it. And to say
you've done evil also—that's only to say you're a human."

"At best the good balances the evil and leaves us only shadows, with
nothing to credit."

"Nonsense," answered Billy. "We know—even us small people—that


we're of more account than shadows."

"In my case the great evil swallowed the little good. I wish I had never
been born, because then none could point to my grave some day and say,
'There lies the man that killed his wife.' If I could have chose before I was
born, I'd have said to God, 'Either let me come into the world for well-
doing, or not at all,' and that would have been a decent, self-respecting
wish. But how can people believe in God's mercy and love, when the world
swarms with bad men He could as easily have made good ones? Take my
late wife, for you must firmly grasp now that Margery's dead—that rare
woman is dead, William. Take her and ask yourself how an all-seeing, all-
loving God could let that innocent, harmless creature love a man who
would end by killing her?"

"You waste a lot of time, Jacob," said the other, "and you ax a lot of
questions no mortal man can ever answer, because we don't know enough.
I've lived to see great changes myself, and you may say, well inside civility,
that God's like some of us old men, who were once young. When I was
young I was well thought of and held in great respect, and I counted, in my
small way, among the rest. And when God was a thought younger—for
time will go on and He can't be outside it, Jacob—when He was a thought
younger, the people held Him in greater respect than now. He ain't quite so
much in the middle of the picture as He was when I was a boy—just as I
myself ain't no more in the middle of my own picture. But God's just the
same as He always was, and just so determined as ever not to give a plain
answer to a plain question. He never have done it and He never will,
because it's contrary to His Almighty opinion of what's best for us."

"And how if it's all a mare's-nest and there's no God, William?"
