'LET them say!" quoted Erica, smiling, "mens conscia recti will carry one through worse things than a little slander. No, no, you must really let me have my own way. It is right, and there's an end of it!" Raeburn let things run their course; he agreed with Erica all the time, though his heart impelled him to keep her at home.
The other two, the superior and inferior oblique muscles, aid in certain movements of the recti muscles and, in addition, serve to rotate the eyes slightly. The movements of the eyeballs are similar to those of ball and socket joints.
A noble stoicism breathes in the character of Æneas, the virtue of the virtuous man, refined and softened by a poet's pitifulness, heightened above all by the lingering doubt whether there were any necessary connection between virtue and the divine order of things around it. "Dî tibi, si qua pios respectant numina, si quid Usquam Justitia est et mens sibi conscia recti, Præmia digna ferant!"
And next day, when cobbler Number 1 and the world awoke, they beheld painted in huge characters over the fellow's shop-front the startling announcement, "Men's and Women's conscia recti."
What does our friend Thucydides remark on the subject? "Conscia mens recti, nec si sinit esse dolorem Sed revocare gradum." Very well then. 'But why should you think anything's up? asked Tony.

He was a provoking melange of antiquarian attainments and modern scepticism.
And he had had some reason for running away, for the conscia mens recti, though an excellent institution in theory, is not nearly so useful an ally as it should be in practice. The Head knocked at Prater's door, pondering darkly within himself.
Snakes "hear," or catch the sound-waves, with their flickering, forked tongues; and grasshoppers and locusts have "ear-drums" on the sides of their chests. These are called the recti or "straight" muscles, upper, lower, inner, and outer, according to their position.
It is done by six little muscles, arranged in three pairs, which, with one exception, originate in the back of the cavity in which the eye rests. Four of these muscles run a straight course and are called the recti. The remaining two muscles bend in their course and are called oblique. The coördination of these tiny muscles is marvellous in its delicacy, accuracy, and rapidity of action.
And do not fail to remember, that he, who, even though self-impelled, goes out from the shelter of his selfhood into the presence of the great congregation, incurs a Loss which no praise can make good, encounters a Fate against which no appreciation is a shield, invokes a Shadow in which the mens conscia recti is the only resource, and the knowledge of shadows dispelled the only consolation.
