I offer no suggestions, no theories in explanation of the facts. Those who, like Sir Robert Masters, are able and desirous to treat such subjects scientifically or philosophically will doubtless form their own. I cannot say that I find his theory a perfectly satisfactory one, perhaps I do not sufficiently understand it, but I have tried to give it in his own words.
"But it was not an absolute duet," cry I, raising my voice a little, and speaking with some excitement; "you are talking about what you do not know! you are quite wrong." "Well, it is not the first time in my life that I have been that," he says, philosophically; "but come who did you the Christian office of interrupting it? tell us." "I told you in my letters," say I, rather petulantly.
"Now, Standish?" "N.E. this time," remarked that youth philosophically. The Admiral said nothing, but I saw his choleric blue eyes slide round in the direction of Miss Buncle's headgear. He turned to Dermott. "How many, old man?" "Blob!" That Dermott should return empty-handed from any kind of chase was so surprising that we all turned round for the explanation. Dermott was looking very dejected.
Dick took this very philosophically, remarking that, "if it was soothin' to Micky's feelings, he might go ahead, as it didn't hurt him much." It will not be necessary to chronicle the events of the next few weeks. A new life had commenced for Dick. He no longer haunted the gallery of the Old Bowery; and even Tony Pastor's hospitable doors had lost their old attractions.
Yet of poetic literature too; for, in truth, the kind of constructive intelligence here supposed is one of the forms of the imagination. That is the special function of mind, in style. Mind and soul: hard to ascertain philosophically, the distinction is real enough practically, for they often interfere, are sometimes in conflict, with each other.
Of course Rosemary was called on for this and as a result her own work was left quite to the last. "But I couldn't ice the cakes till the day before the fair, anyway," she said philosophically to Miss Parsons, "though I did want to have time to see that the plates and napkins were matched; last year we ran short of napkins." The morning of the fair, Rosemary hurried upstairs to ice her cakes.
I propose now, after some necessary remarks in conclusion of that topic, to enter on the description of the second European age that of Inquiry. For these remarks, what has already been said of Greece prepares the way. Mediterranean Europe was philosophically and socially in advance of the central and northern countries.
On whatever drive, excursion, or trip you take you invariably meet "boarding-houseites," who are only too ready to recognize you. The meals are somewhat amusing, as you can watch all your fellow-boarders without being disturbed. They cannot talk and eat at the same time, and so philosophically devote all their energies to their dinner.
The noise of it roused the camps as they thundered by; men rose up, peered out from bed-tents as the stampede swept past, cursed the delay it would probably make, hoped none of the boys got hurt, and thanked the Lord the tents were pitched close to the creek and out of the track of the maddened herds. Then they went back to bed to wait philosophically for daylight.
Charles Buxton, and the Dean of Canterbury, to swim with the stream, but to swim with it philosophically; to call the desires of the ordinary self of any great section of the community edicts of the national mind and laws of human progress, and to give them a general, a philosophic, and an imposing expression.
