"Is that how you know that I had been trying to analyse your Life-water?" asked Bickley. "Yes," she answered, with her unvarying smile. "At the moment I spoke thereof you were wondering whether my father would be angry if he knew that you had taken the water in a little flask."

Therefore it seems to me that this ideal, the practically attainable ideal of self-government within the Empire, when we analyse it with care, when we study it in the light of common human psychology, when we study it in the light of our past experience of the racial characteristics of the British people, when we study it in the light of past British history in India and other parts of the world, when we study and analyse this ideal of self-government within the Empire, we find it is a far more impracticable thing to attain than even our ideal Swaraj.

If you analyse the picture that is now presented, you find that it is not all the work of the personage whose vision the author has adopted. There are touches in it that go beyond any sensation of his, and indicate that some one else is looking over his shoulder seeing things from the same angle, but seeing more, bringing another mind to bear upon the scene.

I came to realities from words, and I set seriously to study and analyse in its smallest details the Christian Faith which I more than ever regarded as the centre of all truth.

Even these two characters, his only two characters, he could not exhibit dramatically. He exhibited them in the manner, not of Shakspeare, but of Clarendon. He analysed them; he made them analyse themselves; but he did not make them show themselves.

For several years he had adored the doctor's daughter from a strictly artistic point of view, as he would have explained it and undoubtedly Marjorie had her attractions, though it would be difficult to analyse and tabulate them.

She had certainly been angry with him, but the cause for this was much less apparent, though there were one or two half-sufficient explanations.

Every one of these ancient States depended for its prosperity upon a vast number of conditions its race, its geographical position, its stage of development, and so forth, quite impossible to tabulate or analyse; and the form of government which suited one would be entirely inapplicable to another.

Most of all, perhaps, he abhorred Sir John's bulging glassy eyeballs, of a hard white by contrast with his coppery skin surest sign of the cold sensualist. But in fact he took no pains to analyse his aversion, which extended even to the smell of Sir John's excellent but Burmese cigars. The two men nodded when they met, and usually exchanged a remark or two on the weather.

The question was Aunt Maria's, asked abruptly, roughly, almost indignantly. Lady Mildmay started. "I I don't want to alarm you, I'm sure," she murmured, "but I don't like his looks. Do, do persuade him to take a rest." Both of them were silent now; Lady Mildmay's wonder grew; she did not understand them; she saw them exchange a glance whose expression she could not analyse.
