Celia sighed. Her words did not appear to have made the faintest impression.
"What a sigh!" said Philip. "My dear little Celia! do you take me for an utter reprobate, that you think it necessary to mourn over me in that way?"
"Philip," said Celia, very solemnly, "a man must be either inside the sheepfold of Jesus, or outside it. Without is without, whether the door which he refuses to enter be a yard from him or a thousand miles. Without the Fold now, without the City hereafter. And 'without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.'"[[42]]
"I know mighty few people who are in, then," said Philip, whistling, and considering the carpet.
"I am afraid so," answered Celia, shortly. "But the one question for us, Philip, is—Are we in?"
A question to which Mr. Philip Ingram made no reply.
