Hume himself suffered unspeakably under the impact of what he considered inescapable ideas rightly described from another side as the 'suicide of human intelligence' and his philosophy often seemed to him like a malady, as he himself called it, against whose grip he could see no remedy.

I can lay hold of nothing. A child? Ah no! I have longed unspeakably for a child sometimes, but not for one fathered by him. BLACKDEEP, 24th January 1839. I knew it all, but I dared not speak till you had spoken. Your letter came when we were at breakfast. I could not open it, for my heart told me what was in it. Jim wondered why I let it lie on the table, and I made some excuse.

No more dreaming now; but a constant looking forward to the end of life's journey, and a steady and unwearied preparation for the final summons. The summer was unspeakably beautiful to the dying youth.

She kept Ariadne quiet, the child having already learned that when Daddy came home from the city there must be no more noisy play; and she served Paul with a quickness that outstripped words. She longed unspeakably to put on one side forever all her vexing questions and simply to cherish and care for her husband physically. He had so much to burden him already all he could carry.

The crowd pressed to the corner of C and Taylor streets, expecting the sale to begin there, but they were disappointed, and also unspeakably surprised; for the cavalcade moved on as if Virginia had ceased to be of importance, and took its way over the "divide," toward the small town of Gold Hill.

And Pelle pressed the beloved, slender, girlish body against his own, and looked deep in her eyes, which were dark and shadowy as velvet, as they drank in the light in his. His heart swelled within him, and he felt that he was unspeakably fortunate richer than any one else in the whole world because of the treasure that he held in his arms.

The next day the way was unspeakably difficult. They made progress slowly and heavily, clambering from rock to rock, clinging to the walls, fighting through rapids. It was past mid afternoon when they ran a level in a spot of surpassing grandeur. A rock slide had sent a great heap of stone into the river. Close beside this they set the transit. Forward the river swept smoothly round a curve.
