When they were seen on the steps, guarded by the police, waiting for the door to open, the crowd yelled at them. The Archbishop observed to his companion:
'I'm not sure, after all, that it was wise of me to come. Sometimes it is not easy to know what to do for the best. I certainly did not expect to find myself in the midst of such a scene of popular frenzy.'
Said the Cardinal:
'It at least enables us to see one phase of Protestant England.'
They were admitted by Ada, to whom the Archbishop introduced himself.
'I am the Archbishop, and this is Cardinal De Vere. We have come to see the person who is the cause of all this turmoil.'
Ada stopped before the open door of a room.
'This is the Lord!'
Within stood the Stranger, as one who listens to that which he desires, yet fears he will not hear: who looks for that for which he yearns, yet knows he will not see. The Archbishop fitted his glasses on his nose.
'Is this the person? Really! How very interesting! You don't say so!'
