"Tom, do you think there could be any possible connection between this work of a German spy, as it appears on the surface, and my news from Mr. Smedley, the lawyer?" "It's possible even probable, Jack. A whole lot depends on whether we learn of any other plane having been meddled with.
And yet it is the denial, tacit or explicit, of these two primary truths that has been the greatest obstacle to the progress of my work. But I appeal to you: Who but a mother can bring such a constant and potent influence to bear as to secure the mind and character moving on its own higher plane in relation to the whole of this side of our nature?
It was as if a mystic bond fired them both with new talents-Missy looked on mixed metaphors as objectionable only to Professor Sutton. Her reputation-and Raymond's-soared, soared.
