The atmosphere of precautions and recriminations, and in the midst a human body growing more vivid because it was in pain; the end of that body in Hilton churchyard; the survival of something that suggested hope, vivid in its turn against life's workaday cheerfulness; all these were lost to Helen, who only felt that a pleasant lady could now be pleasant no longer.
"But, Miss Neville, I must be allowed to say that you do not in the least grasp the vastness of this wonderful law of 'Natural Selection, of the 'Survival of the Fittest, which is omnipotent in its influence." "Ah, but my reverence for Civilization cries out against your savage enactments!
I wrote to Mamma and told her about it and that I couldn't stay here any longer, and she didn't answer for a long time. Then she said I would have to stay where I was until she could make new arrangements for me and that she was glad I wasn't going to marry a cripple.

He climbed up and loosened the net, coiling its folds into one hand, taking the good spear in his other.

Later on, no doubt, great changes will have to be made; meanwhile, much must be bravely endured.
But if I went away you wouldn't mind " "Yes, I would." "But you're so much stronger." "I like being strongest." And then and there he expounded the doctrine of the Survival, and Rufus began to shiver all over like a frightened pony. "I think it's perfectly beastly. What'll happen to me? Anyone can lick me. I wouldn't have a chance."
'There was another, I always thought, Ernest replied more solemnly, 'and after his name we've all been taught as children to call ourselves Christians.
