"No: men will be gentler, and wimmen nobler; and they will both come nearer bein' angels, though most probable they won't be angels: they won't be any too good then, I hain't a mite afraid of it." "Can you, and will you, do Dorlesky's errents?" Wall, he said, "as far as giving Dorlesky her rights was concerned, he felt that natural human instinct was against the change."
History, observation, experience, reason, all come to the proof. We doubt but in the face of conviction. Are these not higher and nobler things than wealth, or worldly honors; than place or power? And is he not serenest and happiest whose life rests on these as a house upon its foundations? You cannot shake such a man. You cannot throw him down.

As if by magic, the world of ideality opened before him in this exquisite silence.
Manifestly the currents of the new moral life which the Conference was to have set flowing are as yet somewhat weak, the new ideals are still remote and the foreshadowings of a nobler future are faint.

"Better for you, Susanna, if your husband had ever found the oyster!" Garrett Wesley glanced at him from under his badger-gray brows. "We may be coming to the oyster, sir, if you have patience.
