We see, then, that the failure of our ordinary assurance of personal identity is due to the recognition of difference without similarity. It arises from an act of memory for the mind must still be able to recall the past, dimly at least but from a memory which misses its habitual support in a recognized element of constancy.
"That is a most disrespectful speech, Dudley. I shall of course uphold your father's wishes." "But, granny, I can't leave Roy. It will break his heart. You don't know how he frets about his leg. He doesn't say much and is always so cheerful, but he misses me most awfully even if I'm away for a day.
Some of the jests are far- fetched, and others, perhaps, abortive but it is pleasant to track him in his pursuit of a point, even when he misses. The very failures of a man of real wit are often more delightful than the best successes of others the quick-silver, even in escaping from his grasp, shines; "it still eludes him, but it glitters still."
Some of the Misses Bryan had now reached the years of womanhood, several of them scarcely, but these small disqualifications made no difference in the estimation of the young ladies themselves; each and all of them brushed up for the competition with high hopes and unflinching resolutions.
The lapse of time, which cools the ardour of the friends whom he has left behind, inflames his.

"And it really seems as if the poor beast misses her. I am afraid we neglected her too much, Gerald. We were so taken up with our own happiness, that we didn't think of her so much as we ought to have done." "I am sure I tried to gratify all her wishes," responded he. "I have nothing to reproach myself with, and certainly you were always a devoted sister.
She will study in detail the little family that is making its home on her veranda. From the hour that the birds arrive in the spring until the hour that they leave in the fall she misses nothing of their doings. It is a beautiful and profitable study, and it is a type of what is required of a woman who would fulfill her obligation toward the youth of her neighborhood.
The estimate of the elevation of the several localities above sea-level is pretty correct for Baedeker. He only misses it about a hundred and eighty or ninety thousand feet. I found my arnica invaluable. My men were suffering excruciatingly, from the friction of sitting down so much.
