It will be enough to insist briefly on the following points: that anthropology is science in whatever way history is science; that it is not philosophy, though it must conform to its needs; and that it is not policy, though it may subserve its designs. Anthropology is science in the sense of specialized research that aims at truth for truth's sake.
"The Young People's Society is having an entertainment at the church to-night, Willy." "Well, maybe I'll go," he agreed to her unspoken suggestion. "If you insist on making me a society man " But some time later he came downstairs with a book. "Thought I'd rather read," he explained. "Got a book here on the history of steel. Talk about romances! Let me read some of it to you.
If I had known that before, I should not have warned the Archduke so many times, which I did at the desire of the States themselves. And now that the Archdukes are ready to restore their cities, you insist on holding yours. That is the dish you set before me." And upon this James swore a mighty oath, and beat himself upon the breast.
"Well, young man?" says she. "Why," says I, "not so well as I was a couple of minutes er that it's a fine, spiffy afternoon, ain't it?" "Spiffy!" says she, drawin' in her breath menacin'. "Vassarese for lovely," says I. "But I don't insist on the word. By the way, is Miss Vee in?" "She is," says Aunty. "This is not Friday evening, however."
"The prior did answer to the commissioners," Maurice tells us, "that he knew nothing of such matters, and could not meddle with them; and they continuing to insist, and the prior being still unable to give other answer, he was sent with Father Humphrey, our proctor, to the Tower."
Neigh resumed: 'If I showed more feeling than you care for, I insist that it was not more than was natural under the circumstances, if not quite proper. Opinions may differ, but my experience goes to prove that conventional squeamishness at such times as these is more talked and written about than practised. Plain behaviour must be expected when marriage is the question.
Then I should wire back to ask if there was any necessity of my coming over, she would show the message to Father, knowing perfectly well he would insist on my staying to finish up the business. She knows he would have to be in the last extremity before he'd be willing for me to quit in the middle of a big job. In the end the chances were I'd not have to come at all. Do you see?"
Then, if you insist on gathering and carrying along with you such pocket-loads of specimens, plants, rocks, etcetera, as you've brought in this evening, I'll have to build a sort of Noah's ark, or omnibus on sledge-runners, to carry them." "And suppose I don't insist on carrying these things, what then?"
It is too bad to make a servant of you, dear, but that is just the way, the girls stay so long at their Mass, as they call it; I wouldn't have Catholic girls just for this very reason, that they insist always upon going to Mass, only that I really can trust a good Catholic girl better than anyone else.
Slocum replied that he had not objected to the old rates, but the new, and that he accepted their offer conditionally. "You have overlooked one point, Mr. Stevens." "Which one, sir?" "The apprentices." "We thought you might not insist there, sir." "I insist on conducting my own business in my own way." The voice was the voice of Slocum, but the backbone was Richard's.
