Which is as if a man should tell famous Harvey that he transcribed his circulation of the blood, not out of the principles of nature, but out of the anatomy of this or that body.
Indeed the bergs are dangerous neighbours, not only from this cause, but also on account of their turning upside down at times, and even falling to pieces, so that Captain Harvey always kept well out of their way when he could; but this was not always possible. The little brig had a narrow escape one day from the falling of a berg.
Before Pike and his captive had gone far on their return journey, Harkaway and Harvey, with two or three of the gendarmes, and a minute after Jefferson, came up. "You have caught him then. Hurrah!" said Dick Harvey. "But this is not Hunston," said Harkaway. "No, sir; he managed to get clean away. But we'll have him yet."
"But I didn't care much what we hit that evening, I was so wet and tired." "Well, look now," continued Henry Burns. "You can see the water whirling at that very spot. The ledge doesn't show above water, but it's there. What's the matter with working up to that, hanging on it till we get rested, and then make one quick push up over the top?" "Oh, well," said Harvey, "I'm game.
Harvey is indeed a most worthy gentleman," Mr. Popham said, "and has the esteem and respect of all, even of those who are of wholly different politics. Still, it may be that although he would in any case, I believe, have left this property to Sir Cyril, he might not have handed it over to him in his lifetime, had not he received so great a service at his hands." "Why, what is this, Cyril?"
"I have, and found him all right." "Did you simply speak to him, or did you go in where he was?" "I took a piece of fat wood from this fire and went in where he was," replied Harvey. "He was covered up head and ears, but I saw his boots sticking out from under the blanket." "What time is it?"
Harvey looked at the clock, which marked twenty past eleven. "Then I'll sleep here till three and catch the four o'clock freight. They let us men from the Fleet ride free as a rule." "That's a notion. But I think we can get the 'Constance' around about as soon as your men's freight. Better go to bed now."
If I did not attend to the details of this business, there would be a dozen competitors in the coal industry within a year. Even if I cannot go with you every day, you have Harvey as an escort. You two will not miss me. When I courted your mother, I should not have insisted upon a third party accompanying us on our rambles."
Wagner, being a philosopher and critic as well as a composer, was always looking for moral explanations of what he had created and he hit on several very striking ones, all different. In the same way one can conceive Henry the Eighth speculating very brilliantly about the circulation of his own blood without getting as near the truth as Harvey did long after his death.
And there had been many times in the little house when Harvey, for days at a time, had not even entered her thoughts. There was, therefore, a very real tenderness in the face she lifted for his good-by kiss. To Belle in the front hall Harvey gave a firm order. "Don't let any reporters in," he said warningly. "This is strictly our affair. It's a private matter.
