Hello Friends,
Would you please correct my interpretation on the bold parts?
1. Mr. Stone had long been suspected of liberal tendencies; he was too friendly, some thought, with his Yankee brethren; he had recently emerged partially damaged from a controversy over the Apostles’ Creed; and worst of all, he was thought to be ambitious.
My interpretation: He was recovered from a that controversy which had damaged his reputation.
2. Had she allowed reason to rule, she would have realized that Herbert Jemson was Methodist of the whole cloth: he was notoriously short on theology and a mile long on good works.
My interpretation: He was a perfect Methodist, he behaved in Methodists way.
Thank you so much for your time.

1. Without context, this has nothing to do with reputation. An argument over religious matters can easily turn heated, which can cause emotional harm to a person.

Kapayour interpretation is: his reputation was damaged of that controversy?No; he simply lost the argument about the Apostles' Creed.

Mister Micawber KapaSo, what about "damage"? Is it the adjective here?That's in your own sentence. What do you think?I think "partially damaged" should be adverb for the subject "he". but I'm not sure.

I think it's a predicate adjective myself. 'Emerged' is like 'became'.
