And yet--here and there about the world people lived and had their being to whom this question of God was a vital question; people like Bunning and his crowd--mad, the whole lot of them.

Bunning--that soft, blithering, emotional, religious, middle-class maniac--Bunning! "Soft-faced" Bunning, as he was called, was the man of Olva's year in whom the world at large found most entertainment.

Especially had Carfax and Cardillac made his life a burden to him, and whenever it seemed that there was nothing especial to do, the cry arose, "Let's go and rag Bunning," and five minutes later that fat body would tremble at the sound of many men climbing the wooden stairs, at the loud banging on his wooden door, at the cry, "Hullo, Bunning--we've come for some coffee." Then, towards the end of the first year, the Cambridge Christian Union flung out its net and caught him.

How was this kind of animal, with its cowardice, its stupidity, its ugliness, its uselessness, possible? He had never spoken to Bunning, although he had once received a note from him asking him to coffee--a piece of very considerable impertinence.

Bunning brought his large quivering body into the room and stood there, turning his cap round and round in his hands.
