But, whatever view one unconvinced may take, it cannot remain doubtful what position a theist ought to occupy. If he cannot recognize design in Nature because of evolution, he may be ranked with those of whom it was said, "Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe." How strange that a convinced theist should be so prone to associate design only with miracle!
My friend, knowing all the cruelty of the practice, and having a heart touched by memories of the heart-rending cries with which the poor little creatures protest for weeks against their suffering, pleaded with the servant to let the child's feet alone. But to no effect. "Big feet no b'long pretty," he said, and went home unconvinced.
He called upon Mr Murdock, his partner, in the evening, explaining the arrangement which he had made to pay a visit to Cuba, including the rather singular proposal of Senor Montijo to which he had consented, as to the apparent ownership of the new yacht; and listened patiently but unconvinced to all Murdock's arguments against what the canny Northumbrian unhesitatingly denounced as an utterly hare-brained scheme.
"Mama mine! but yuh sure can ride." Andy looked at them, grinned and did an exceedingly foolish thing, just to humiliate Happy Jack, who, he afterwards said, still looked unconvinced.
Well, what do you think of that?" Booverman, unconvinced, approached the hole with suspicion, gingerly removing the pin. At the bottom, sure enough, lay his ball for a phenomenal two. "That's the first bit of luck that has ever happened to me," he said furiously; "absolutely the first time in my whole career." "I say, old man," said Pickings, in remonstrance, "you're not angry about it, are you?"
Jack agreed in monosyllables; but when Dan settled down to argue out the advantages of having a woman about the place, he looked doubtful; but having nothing to say on the subject, said nothing; and when Dan left for the Katherine next morning he was still unconvinced.
"Poor girl! she remains perfectly unconvinced!" said Monte-Cristo, after her departure. "And she is right!" rejoined Mme. de Rancogne, warmly. "I have heard all the details of her story and the chain of evidence against the Viscount Giovanni Massetti is altogether complete. To doubt his guilt would be sheer idiocy!"
But in any case the truth appears to remain that somehow or other you do believe in Good; and that it is this belief which determines the whole course of your life." "Well," he said, "it's no use arguing the point, but I am unconvinced." And he sank back to his customary silence. I thought it useless to pursue the subject with him; but Ellis took up the argument. "I agree with Audubon," he said.
Churchill, you are hunting for faults, you know you are, or you would not be so quick to see them." Churchill made no audible reply, but Harley could see that he was unconvinced, and, in fact, he sent his newspaper a lurid despatch about it, taking events out of their proper proportion, and hence giving to them a wholly unjustifiable conclusion. But Sylvia Morgan was devotedly loyal to her uncle.
"Not ours," said I. "Well, but will that do?" asked Rudolf, with an unconvinced smile. "Yes, I think he'll understand it." And I wrote it again in the cipher; it was as much as I could do to hold the pen. The bell was rung again, and James appeared in an instant. "Send this," said Rudolf. "The offices will be shut, sir." "James, James!" "Very good, sir; but it may take an hour to get one open."
