To an abstract objection an abstract rejoinder suffices; and so far as one's opposition to materialism springs from one's disdain of matter as something 'crass, Mr. Spencer cuts the ground from under one. Matter is indeed infinitely and incredibly refined.
Why should he work for his living here, or go to dig gold in California, when he is so soon to be made happy, at monthly intervals, with a little pile of glittering coin out of his Uncle's pocket? It is sadly curious to observe how slight a taste of office suffices to infect a poor fellow with this singular disease.
Some folks insinuated that he had made money by giving his son in marriage to Kumodini Babu's daughter, never remembering that a dowry is reserved for the bride's benefit, while the cash payment made to a father-in-law barely suffices to meet the expenses of elaborate nuptial ceremonies.

Rationalism and by rationalism I mean the doctrine that abides solely by reason, by objective truth is necessarily materialist. And let not idealists be scandalized thereby.
Why is it that it wants to keep on pegging at him, day and night and night and day, week in and week out, forever and ever, about the same old thing? There is no sense in that, and no reason in it. I think a conscience that will act like that is meaner than the very dirt itself." "Well, WE like it; that suffices." "Do you do it with the honest intent to improve a man?"
He's a gentleman, and he's connected by tradition with the Army, and he's mad about everything military and surely he's as clever as anybody else at everything except that wretched matter of books, and even there it's only a defect of memory and yet that suffices to prevent his serving his Queen.
