The result is as might be expected, a fine machine of destruction. But destruction is not a human process merely a male process of eliminating the unfit. The female process is to select the fit; her elimination is negative and painless. Greater than either is the human process, to develop fitness. Men are at present far more human than women.
The sense of fitness and relation operates among thoughts and feelings as well as among fancies, and its results cannot be mistaken for accident.
Lucas had infected George with the craze for physical exercises as a remedy for all ills and indiscretions, including even late nights and excessive smoking. The competition between them to excel in the quality of fitness was acute, and sometimes led to strange challenges.
This set her mind upon her best bedroom, her linen, and the fitness of her roof to receive a title. Then, in a partial fit of gratitude for the honour, and immense thankfulness at being spared the task of the letter, she fell on Wilfrid's shoulder, beginning to sob till he, in alarm at his absurd position, suggested that Lady Charlotte awaited a welcome.

Of what use was it to offer books like the "Saint's Rest" to a child whose idea of happiness was in perpetual activity?

One of them was a romantic villain and the other an unromantic hero, but her pulsing emotions morally condemned one no more than the other. This was the sheer delight of her esthetic sense of fitness, that strong men engaged in a finish fight could rise to so perfect a courtesy that an outsider could not have guessed the antagonism that ran between them, enduring as life.
The people's making him king taught him and them that a true royalty rules over willing subjects, and both guarded the rights of the nation and set limits to the power of the ruler. The priest's anointing witnessed to the divine appointment of the monarch and the divine endowment with fitness for his office. Would that these truths were more recognised and felt by all rulers!
The piteous reiterated call of the shut-out maidens, roused too late, and so suddenly, from songs and laughter to vain cries, evokes a stern answer, through which shines the awful reality veiled in the parable. We do not need to regard the prayer for entrance, and its refusal, as conveying more than the fruitlessness of wishes for entrance then, when unaccompanied with fitness to enter.
