All necessary approvals having been made, the two went to Cairo, where they examined the Benton, one of the former snag-boat fleet. Afterwards Eads proposed the strong and swift Missouri River steamboats. But neither of these suited his colleague, who at last went to Cincinnati, and buying three boats there, armed them himself: and very useful boats they were.
"Because your loyalty, let us call it, is too precious to be exchanged for anything else you could give me in place of it esteem, respect, and all the other well-behaved and virtuous bestowals." "But the loyalty is based on the belief that you are trying to earn the well-behaved approvals," she continued. "No, it isn't. It exists 'in spite of' everything, and not 'because of' anything.
Let it be remembered what it is, the narrative and the justification of a great conversion; of a change involving an entire reversal of views, judgments, approvals, and condemnations; a change which, with all ordinary men, involves a reversal, at least as great, of their sympathies and aversions, of what they tolerate and speak kindly of.
The directors of the company, assembled for their monthly meeting, found that, instead of the customary conventionality of procedure, a thing strangely impertinent and unexpected demanded their surprised attention. Ordinarily these meetings were simple in the extreme, being merely ratifications of what the President had done and approvals of what he said he purposed to do.
There was a chorus of very hearty approvals of Bill's course in "not taking any water" from that variously characterized "outfit." But the responsibility of the situation began to dawn upon them when some one asked: "How are you going about it, Bill?"

Conscious instruction plays a part; prior approvals and disapprovals have a large influence.
