family　that　needed　fettling　for？　Let　him　attend　to　the　immediate

concerns　of　his　life；　not　go　projecting　himself　towards　the

ultimate。

But　Ursula　was　all　for　the　ultimate。　She　was　always　in　revolt

against　babies　and　muddled　domesticity。　To　her　Jesus　was　another

world；　He　was　not　of　this　world。　He　did　not　thrust　His　hands

under　her　face　and；　pointing　to　His　wounds；　say：

〃Look；　Ursula　Brangwen；　I　got　these　for　your　sake。　Now　do　as

fair：　and　they　took　them　wives　of　all　which　they　chose。

〃And　the　Lord　said；　My　spirit　shall　not　always　strive　with

Man；　for　that　he　also　is　flesh；　yet　his　days　shall　be　an　hundred

and　twenty　years。

〃There　were　giants　in　the　earth　in　those　days；　and　also　after
