Evolution took place in virtue of the power inherent in the developing organisms. But only when the environment was favorable and normal, did the evolution proceed favorably and normally, that is, toward the perfection of the animate kingdom.

'Most probably because he has not written, papa. He paused after the cool reply. She had no mournful gaze at all; but in the depths of the clear eyes he knew so well, there was a coil of something animate, whatever it might be. And twice she drew a heavy breath. He mentioned it in London. Nataly telegraphed at night for her girl to meet her next day at Dartrey's hotel.

It seemed, in those imperfectly lucid intervals, as if the reason only returned to guide her to destroy, only to animate the broken mechanism into the beast of prey. Years have now passed since her entrance within those walls. He who placed her there never had returned. He had given a false name, no clew to him was obtained; the gold he had left was but the quarter's pay.

Wordsworth's claim, his special gift, his lasting contribution, lies in the extraordinary strenuousness, sincerity, and insight with which he first idealises and glorifies the vast universe around us, and then makes of it, not a theatre on which men play their parts, but an animate presence, intermingling with our works, pouring its companionable spirit about us, and "breathing grandeur upon the very humblest face of human life."

And on the Man rushed the genius long interdicted and thrust aside, rushing back, with the first breath of adversity, to console no! the Man needed not consolation, to kindle, to animate, to rejoice!

The old man raised his head and displayed a shrunken face down which two great tears were rolling, the first perhaps that that animate column of figures had ever shed in his life. "You are weeping, old man? What troubles you?" And honest Risler, deeply touched, held out his hand to his friend, who hastily withdrew his.

From bed to bed passed the magic words, "It is he." Every man uttered a benediction. Many wept tears of joy. A single thought seemed to animate them, and they voiced it in many tongues.
