"It's the adept, I suppose," said Godfrey, no longer taking care to lower his voice. It sounded unnaturally loud in the absolute stillness of the room, and I looked at the adept quickly, but he had not moved. "Can't he hear you?" I asked. "No he couldn't hear a clap of thunder. That is, unless he's faking." I looked again at the impassive figure. "He's not faking," I said.
Indeed he was somewhat an adept at these things, and had only to adapt to the perhaps different taste of Mrs Bold the well-remembered rhapsodies which had once so much gratified Olivia Proudie.
A portrait of his mother is over the mantel-piece: opposite it a huge map of the county. His correspondence on public business with the secretary of state, and the various authorities of the shire, is admirably arranged: for the duke was what is called an excellent man of business, that is to say, methodical, and an adept in all the small arts of routine.
Only, not being intellectually adept enough to be admitted to the real secrets, the real knowledge, they give to all things a provisional explanation based upon a settled policy. Not being Rhamdas, they are simply not aware that everything has an exact and absolute explanation."
Goldberger worried his moustache with nervous fingers, as he stared at the adept, plainly at a loss how to proceed. "Perhaps," ventured Godfrey, softly, "your crystal could give us some further information which we very much desire." The adept turned his dark eyes on the speaker, and it seemed to me that they glittered more coldly, as though they recognised an adversary.
Vaisampayana continued, "King Duryodhana, thus addressed by Sakuni, without allowing a moment to elapse, said unto Dhritarashtra, 'This, Sakuni, an adept at dice, is ready to win at dice, O king, the wealth of the sons of Pandu. It behoveth thee to grant him permission to do so. "Dhritarashtra replied, 'I always follow the counsels of Kshatta, my minister possessed of great wisdom.
Naughty Hollyhock's last effort before she left the Parlour had been to pour a small jug of water over the fast-expiring coals. 'I 'm thinking this will settle matters, she said to her adoring companions. 'Let them try their hardest now if they like, but we 'll find our own cubby hole and light our fire somewhere else. No sooner said than done, for Hollyhock was an adept at small manual jobs.
But do not you, who are so great an adept in physics, see what a soothing flatterer, what a sort of procuress, nature is to herself? Do you think there is any creature on the land or in the sea that is not highly delighted with its own form? If it were not so, why would not a bull become enamored of a mare, or a horse of a cow?
The position of Number 2 is the most independent and the player is called the "flying man" of the team. He must be an adept in "dribbling" out the ball so as to get a fair hit at it. As it comes to him from his side players his part is to race with it, hitting as he gallops, and in this way make the goal if he can.
He describes to you the character of the man of Tao; but your conduct is to be the effect of following Tao; and you do not attain Tao by mere practice of virtue; though you naturally practise virtue, without being aware of it, while following Tao. It all throws wonderful light on the nature of the Adept; about whom you have said nothing at all when you have accredited him with all the virtues.
