It is no valid objection to this conclusion that animals suddenly supplied with an excess of food, or when grown very fat; and that most plants on sudden removal from very poor to very rich soil, are rendered more or less sterile. We might, therefore, expect that civilised men, who in one sense are highly domesticated, would be more prolific than wild men.
The unexplained telephone call decided him, however. He would go and see Elinor and have the ordeal over with. But as a preliminary he dined that evening with Ormsby at the Camelot Club, and over the coffee had it out with him. "I am going out to see Miss Brentwood to-night," he announced abruptly. "Have you any objection?"
Bloomfield, whose previous engagement had been advanced by a few days. When we were all seated, I began, as if it were quite a private suggestion of my own: "Adela, if you and our friends have no objection, I will read you a story I have just scribbled off." "I shall be delighted, uncle." This was a stronger expression of content than I had yet heard her use, and I felt flattered accordingly.
Forest had vainly protested would be sure to ensue should they mingle with the populace the Mexican-Indian rabble of which it was composed a distinction which only she and the Colonel seemed able to divine, for had it been a garlic-tainted Egyptian or Neapolitan mob, little objection would have been raised to their going.
No, on the whole Sir Beverley had no serious objection to the prospect of a marriage between them, save that he had no desire to see Piers married for another five years at feast. But Ina could very well afford to wait five years for such a prize as Piers. Meanwhile, if they cared to get engaged it would keep the boy out of mischief, and there would be no harm in it.
Miss Gwendolen, quite aware that she was adored by this unexceptionable young clergyman with pale whiskers and square-cut collar, felt nothing more on the subject than that she had no objection to being adored: she turned her eyes on him with calm mercilessness and caused him many mildly agitating hopes by seeming always to avoid dramatic contact with him for all meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.
To elect the candidate who has most first preferences is open to very serious objection; he may have a small minority of the total votes, and each of the other candidates might be able to beat him single-handed.
That evening Mr Pleggit called in as Mr Cophagus said that he would, and the latter showed a great deal of impatience; but Mr Pleggit repeated his visits over and over again, and I observed that Mr Cophagus no longer made any objection; on the contrary, seemed anxious for his coming, and still more so, after he was convalescent, and able to sit at his table. But the mystery was soon divulged.
What objection is there to such a proceeding? we reply. But we never observe that all words of a sentence are to be understood in an implied sense! Is it then not observed, we reply, that one word is to be taken in its implied meaning if otherwise it would contradict the purport of the whole sentence?
At this time, however, very few whites had actually taken up arms in the revolutionary cause, for Gomez was a native of San Domingo, while Maceo was a mulatto, and the whites in Cuba entertained the same objection to serving under coloured men that is to be found practically all the world over.
