"It's part of your swindler to assume that you do know why. You ought to find out." Wanhope interposed abstractly, or as abstractly as he could: "The important thing would always be to find which of the lovers the confession, tacit or explicit, began with." "Acton ought to go round and collect human documents bearing on the question.
And this is why you use the word 'common, in speaking of her?" "The reason. And now my son, can you not see that there is force in my objection to her that she really possess any character distinctively her own, that is founded upon a clear and rational appreciation of abstractly correct principles of action?" "I cannot say that I differ from you very widely," the young man said, thoughtfully.
A connection is immediately established between the deed itself, taken abstractly, and a train of circumstances not directly included in it. In itself it consisted in merely bringing a small flame into contact with a small portion of a beam. Events not involved in that simple act follow of themselves.

You admitted the other day that all this was abstractly true; why should you wish this morning to draw back from following it out to its end in practice?"
Unable to conceive of life abstractly as a "permanent possibility of sensation" or a "continuous adjustment of internal arrangements to external relations," the savage thinks of it as a concrete material thing of a definite bulk, capable of being seen and handled, kept in a box or jar, and liable to be bruised, fractured, or smashed in pieces.
