Medius and his daughter wore red knots the color of the Heathen, and Dada, following their example, had a similar bow on her shoulder; now, however, she accepted a blue ribband that Demetrius bought for her and pinned it in the place of the red one as being the color of Marcus, to the old singer's great annoyance.
Had the same great reasoner looked on, as my father illustrated his systems of noses, and observed my uncle Toby's deportment what great attention he gave to every word and as oft as he took his pipe from his mouth, with what wonderful seriousness he contemplated the length of it surveying it transversely as he held it betwixt his finger and his thumb then fore-right then this way, and then that, in all its possible directions and fore-shortenings he would have concluded my uncle Toby had got hold of the medius terminus, and was syllogizing and measuring with it the truth of each hypothesis of long noses, in order, as my father laid them before him.
Hence Medius had at present no use for the girl; but he affected to agree so readily to her wishes merely out of anxiety to relieve Isarnis as soon as possible of his uneasiness as to her fate. The morning was bright and hot, and the town was swarming with an excited mob soon after sunrise.
The Antinomies of Rational Cosmology. If in its endeavor to spin metaphysical knowledge concerning the nature of the spirit and the existence of the soul after death out of the concept of the thinking ego the reason falls into the snare of an ambiguous terminus medius, the difficulties which frustrate its attempts to use the Idea of the world in the extension of its knowledge a priori are of quite a different character.

Medius did not leave till near midnight and Herse then sent them all to bed. As soon as the slave had undressed her young mistress and left the girls alone, Dada threw herself into the arms of Agne who was on the point of getting into bed, and kissed her vehemently, exclaiming: "You are much so much better than I! How is that you always know what is right?"
I only hope I might not be seized with a sudden impulse to make a face at the audience. But if they did not come too close I really might..." "You could do no better than to play the parts that Posidonius might give you," interrupted Medius. "His audiences like to see good daemons, the kindly protecting spirits, and so forth.
Since this announcement Medius had laughed at his own alarms; he had recovered his "strong-mindedness," and when Posidonius had given him three tickets for the Hippodrome he had jumped at the offer.
She never paused till she reached the house of Medius, quite out of breath; but then, as the little boy still asserted that he had seen his sister in the sanctuary, she turned back with him, as soon as the throng had dispersed.
