The life insurance salesman is not attempting to hoodwink, hypnotize, cajole, or browbeat his client in a case where their interests clash, but simply, by skilful setting forth of facts and appeals to the feelings, to persuade his client to act in his own interest. We have seen in this chapter that all individuals who succeed depend upon their power of persuasion.
Fancy deliberately concocting new ones!" "Not you! But you'll have some sort of success, all the same." "Yes, there are publics. Perhaps I'll, hypnotize one of them. As for the financial end what I hope is that the book will give me a position that will raise my prices in the magazines." "You could live abroad very cheaply." Alexina raised her eyes a trifle and looked as guileless as her words.
They spoiled all the plans I ever made. But they shall do so no longer. They cross my path again at their peril!" "The tragic old fraud!" whispered Tom. "I've a good mind to face him just where he stands." "Go slow! We dun't know who is on board of that ship." "Evidently friends to Crabtree, or they wouldn't let him hypnotize Dora's mother." "Where can Dora be?" "That remains to be found out."
But the housekeeper and the niece were bent on not admitting him, for they considered Sancho the arch enticer and felt that he was to blame for Don Quixote's expeditions into the country. When Sancho heard himself thus accused, he defended himself with accusations against Don Quixote, who, he said, had been the one to hypnotize him; and then he added that he had come to find out about his island.
"But she couldn't hypnotize your brother Lawrence, althought he was so much younger. He didn't give up his thirty-seven cents. I think you're bragging without cause if you claim any engaging and picturesque absence of character." "Oh, Lawrence he's different! He's extraordinary! Sometimes I think he is a genius. And it's Judith who hypnotizes him. She supplies his character."
You can kill people in a scientific manner witness the late Madame Borgia and others. You can shoe a horse scientifically, beg scientifically or hypnotize a squalling infant into innocuous quietude by the aid of science. Marconi has signalled across the ocean; Santos-Dumont has navigated the air and Austria has proven her neutrality in the Spanish-American war by scientific means.
"There is nothing wrong, and you must surrender to the psychic equilibrator so that I can proceed with the examination." "Examination be damned," I shouted fiercely; "you were trying to hypnotize me with that infernal machine." Boehm did not reply but calmly proceeded to pick up the apparatus and restore it to its place in the corner, while I paced angrily about the room.
There are also many other ways of producing lethargy, as we have seen in the chapter "How to Hypnotize." One of the marked characteristics of this stage of hypnotism is the tendency of the muscles to contract, under the influence of the slightest touch, friction, pressure or massage, or even that of a magnet placed at a distance.
However, tonight she is more vif. Her long sleep all day have refresh and restore her, for now she is all sweet and bright as ever. At sunset I try to hypnotize her, but alas! with no effect. The power has grown less and less with each day, and tonight it fail me altogether. Well, God's will be done, whatever it may be, and whithersoever it may lead!
Yes, and did not Colonel de Rochas in turn hypnotize this shade of Jean-Claude Bourdon, so that he adventured farther back into time, through infancy and birth and the dark of the unborn, until he found again light and life when, as a wicked old woman, he had been Philomene Carteron?
