Through the darkness, across the room, Bill Royce was going slowly, questing the man who, surprised by the action of Steve's which had reduced his advantage over a blind man, held to his corner. And then, stranger sound still through that tense silence, came Bill Royce's low laugh. "Good boy, Steve," he said softly. "I'd never thought of that! In the dark Blenham's as blind as me!
Sometimes Ernest thought his friend was unlucky. When that idea occurred to him, he sighed and shook it off. For Ernest believed there was no help for that; it was something rationalism did not explain. The next afternoon Enid Royce's coupe drove up to the Wheeler farmyard. Mrs. Wheeler saw Enid get out of her car and came down the hill to meet her, breathless and distressed. "Oh, Enid!
And this was just what it did. At the mention of being locked up, Andy Royce's courage seemed to leave him. "No! No! Don't you do it! Please, gents, don't have me locked up!" be whined. "I didn't take the ring!" "But you know what became of it," declared Tom, sternly. "So if you didn't take it, who did?" "No nobuddy took it," stammered Andy Royce. "But it's gone," came quickly from Sam.
Adler's explicit denial of a full and fair hearing in its columns to a party calumniated and libelled by one of his own contributors and a member of his own "editorial committee." Negotiations, it is true, for the publication of my reply in the July number were a little later re-opened by Dr. Royce's counsel, together with a copy of the legal protest sent to me personally. Thus Dr.
These were the chief points of my Card, and I note the refusal implied by Dr. Royce's evasive letter. But I decline to accept his plea of 'conscientiousness' in maintaining the accusation as to Hegel. I might as well plead 'conscientiousness' in maintaining an accusation that Dr. Royce assassinated Abraham Lincoln, in face of the evidence that John Wilkes Booth was the assassin."
Dr. Royce's misstatements of fact, so elaborately fashioned and so ingeniously mortised together, were merely his foundation for a deliberate and formal "professional warning to the liberal-minded public" against my alleged "philosophical pretensions." The device of attributing to me extravagant but groundless "pretensions" to "originality" and "profundity" since he is unable to cite a single passage in which I ever used such expressions of myself was probably suggested to him by the "Press Notices of 'Scientific Theism," printed as a publishers' advertisement of my former book at the end of the book which lay before him. These "Press Notices," as usual, contain numerous extracts from eulogistic reviews, in which, curiously enough, these very words, "original" and "profound," or their equivalents, occur with sufficient frequency to explain Dr. Royce's choleric unhappiness. For instance, Dr. James Freeman Clarke wrote in the "Unitarian Review": "If every position taken by Dr. Abbot cannot be maintained, his book remains an original contribution to philosophy of a high order and of great value"; M. Renouvier, in "La Critique Philosophique," classed the book among "de remarquables efforts de construction métaphysique et morale dus
The old dam now lay "like a holler tooth," as one of his men said, grown up with weeds and willow-brush. Mr. Royce's family affairs had never gone as well as his business. He had not been blessed with a son, and out of five daughters he had succeeded in bringing up only two. People thought the mill house damp and unwholesome.
In Royce's Philosophy of Loyalty, Roosevelt's Strenuous Life, and Gannett's Blessed be Drudgery, we get valuable notes; and Carlyle has many, especially ID the latter chapters of Sartor Resartm. THE goal of personal morality is reached with the adoption of that mode of life that leads to the stable and lasting happiness of the individual.
How fortunate he had been to come upon Enid alone and talk to her without interruption, without once seeing Mrs. Royce's face, always masked in powder, peering at him from behind a drawn blind. Mrs.
The most probable explanation is that Miss Holladay is suffering from some form of dementia perhaps only acute primary dementia, which is usually merely temporary but which may easily grow serious, and even become permanent." The theory had occurred to me, and I saw from the expression of Mr. Royce's face that he, also, had thought of it. "Is there no way that we can make sure?" he asked.
