Hume stalked into the living room where he had grown to be so much at home, and driving his hands into his pockets stood frowning out of the window through which the warm fragrant June air came in from the sunny fields. With the determination in his eyes there was the unhidden, black anger that had not been absent from them during the man's waking hours for a week.
At first, Hume declined the offer; but, as it was particularly honourable to so well abused a man, on account of Lord Hertford's high reputation for virtue and piety, and no less advantageous by reason of the increase of fortune which it secured to him, he eventually accepted it.
Even David Hume, as he lay composed beneath that "circular idea," was fainter than a dream; and when the housemaid, broom in hand, smiled and beckoned from the open window, the fame of that bewigged philosopher melted like a raindrop in the sea. And yet in soberness I cared as little for the housemaid as for David Hume.
"A black eagle," said Venning. "Maybe it has its nest somewhere about here." "As this is the Place of Rest," said Mr. Hume, "it would do us all good to sit down. Where is the hut you spoke of, mother?" "Shall I carry you, little one?" said the woman, with a loud laugh. "A few steps only. A little way, and you can eat and sleep."
"Thank you a thousand times, Dr. Hume," said Billie gratefully. "I would just like to shake hands with you if I could, but you see I have to guide the 'Comet. It will be a wonderful thing to give a man back his senses after eighteen years." "Maybe so; maybe not," answered the doctor as the car turned into the village street.
Cessante causa, cessat et effectus does not this look as if the short-span brain activities were the more real activities, and the lecturing activities on my part only their effects? Moreover, as Hume so clearly pointed out, in my mental activity-situation the words physically to be uttered are represented as the activity's immediate goal.
"This document," he remarked, turning to Mr. Hume, "is not in order. It has not been visaed by the officers at the sub-stations." "But it was initialed by your superior at the coast." "It must go back to the sub-stations for endorsement." Mr. Hume put a restraint on his temper. "And how long will that take?" "Who knows? Perhaps a month." "And in the mean time?"
"The man is gagged and bound, captain," said Venning. "If the cook will bring a piece of meat for the jackal, I think I can get to the man without trouble." "You've done very well, Venning," said Mr. Hume, quietly. "Leave this matter to me; it is more in my line." With his eyes on the jackal, he placed his hand on the side of the canoe and moved forward gently while he spoke in Kaffir.
Hume and Hovell.# The southern coasts of the district now called Victoria had been carefully explored by Flinders and other sailors, but the country which lay behind these coasts was quite unknown.
Hume, producing a document, "to read that paper. It is a passport from the President of the Congo State your king authorizing Mr. Hume and party to proceed with his servants by land or water anywhere within the State for purposes of exploration." The officers examined the document with sour faces, and one of them made an observation in a low tone. "Precisely," said the other.
