I'll take care and forget where you are going to, so that no one shall learn from me where you are, and I'll answer for mamma's loss of memory. 'Child! what nonsense you talk; you quite confuse me with being so silly, said Mrs. Gibson, fluttered and annoyed as she usually was with the Lilliputian darts' Cynthia flung at her.
For instance, he did not read Polybius until he came to write the Punic wars. Still he uses the authors he quotes with moderation and fidelity. When the Fasti omit or confuse the names of the consuls, he tells us so; when authorities differ as to whether the victory lay with the Romans or Samnites, he notes the fact.
"Then one day with me is not worth those many days of murder?" she asked in pretended astonishment. "Ask yourself why those many days would be doubly empty," he said so seriously that the pointless game began to confuse her. "Then" she turned lightly from uncertain ground "then perhaps we had better be about that matter of the cup you prize so highly. Are you ready, Mr. Siward?
He had availed himself of the thunderstorm, the flash and long reverberating roll of sound an artifice not unknown to border ambush to confuse discovery at the instant. Yet the attack might be only an isolated one; or it might be the beginning of a general raid upon the Syndicate's freedmen.
The French Revolution was attacked because it was democratic and defended because it was democratic; and Napoleon was not feared as the last of the iron despots, but as the first of the iron democrats. There is no need to confuse the question with any of those escapades of a floundering modernism which have made nonsense of this civic common-sense.
And at every successive upheaval of the western mountains the displaced waters of the ocean swept over the lower lands, filling the valley of the Thames and of the Wey with vast beds of drift gravel, containing among its chalk flints, fragments of stone from every rock between here and Wales, teeth of elephants, skulls of ox and musk ox; while icebergs, breaking away from the glaciers of the Welsh Alps, sailed down over the spot where we now are, dropping their imbedded stones and silt, to confuse more utterly than before the records of a world rocking and throbbing above the shocks of the nether fire.
After a rest of a few moments, Gillsey quite recovered, and began most abject apologies for not getting to camp sooner, so as to give the boys time to save something. The demonstrative hand-shakings and praises and gratitude of the men whom he had snatched from a frightful death seemed to confuse him.
"It is precisely your knowing why not to do these things, and why to do just what you have done, which constituted your power of design; and like all the people I have ever known who had that power, you are entirely unconscious of the essential laws by which you work, and confuse other people by telling them that the design depends on symmetry and series, when, in fact, it depends entirely on your own sense and judgment."
Disgusting it might be, but, on that very account, it would be moral. There is a distinction here that the psychologist cannot too often point out or the moralist too often emphasize. It is not for the physician to complicate and confuse his own task as teacher by mixing it up with considerations which belong to the spiritual sphere.
We may now therefore pass to the examination of these diseases, which for the purposes of this book may be considered under the two heads of congestion and inflammation. I am forced to use these terms in somewhat of a popular sense, for to attempt in a little book like this to define everything with strict scientific accuracy would simply confuse and mislead.
