Cutler brought forth the bogus ones, which he still had in his possession, and the two pairs appeared to be exact counterparts of each other. The magistrate examined them with interest and care, after which he placed them on the desk before him. Mrs. Vanderheck's counsel then said that his client would like to relate how the contested jewels came in her possession.
So in the human case, conduct is directly affected by the living and lifeless objects of a total human situation, the only difference being that reflective consciousness and reasoned interpretation have their share in determining the assumed attitude in ways that seem to have no counterparts as such in the mental lives of lower animals.
We have observed already how the cults of the fields were taken over by the state and their counterparts established in the great festivals of the Calendar. Naturally enough most of the deities concerned, existing only for the part they played in these festivals, retained their original character without further development.
The sweet and equable lady remains the same in all ages; Imogen and Desdemona and Rosalind and the Roaring Girl have their modern counterparts.

"Counterparts!" the old woman answered. "What are you talking about?" "Must I tell you?" "Of course you must tell me." "But it will seem like spite on my part." "Spite! Spite?" "Because they have gotten beautiful counterparts through their prayers, whereas Oh, Mother, I cannot tell you." The Prioress forgot the stupid girl at her feet. "Counterparts!" "Who visit them."
In short, all the savage parallels to the so-called 'psychical phenomena' now under discussion in England, America, Germany, Italy, and France, have escaped critical analysis and comparison with their civilised counterparts. An exception among anthropologists is Mr. Tylor. He has not suppressed the existence of these barbaric parallels to our modern problems of this kind.
