"Well, fair mask," finally remark in a mocking tone, although my heart is beating furiously, "you have been waiting for me here, I presume?" She nods slowly and solemnly.

"Then," say I, ironically, "see where you can find a new blockhead, my muscular fairy!
Every time he speaks of love, of human brotherhood, and the reciprocal duties of man and man, the anti-abolitionist assents says, yes, all right all true we cannot have such ideas too often, or too fully expressed. So he says, and so he feels, and only shows thereby that he is a man as well as an anti-abolitionist.
He eats, he drinks, he talks, he denies, he assents; Naevia is his sole theme: no Naevia, and he's dumb.

Your French mustard would not do that, you know, if you ate the whole potful." "Some like the French, some prefer the Russian. . ." Champoun assents mildly.

But another man, who never took the pains to observe the demonstration, hearing a mathematician, a man of credit, affirm the three angles of a triangle to be equal to two right ones, assents to it, i.e. receives it for true: in which case the foundation of his assent is the probability of the thing; the proof being such as for the most part carries truth with it: the man on whose testimony he receives it, not being wont to affirm anything contrary to or besides his knowledge, especially in matters of this kind: so that that which causes his assent to this proposition, that the three angles of a triangle are equal to two right ones, that which makes him take these ideas to agree, without knowings them to do so, is the wonted veracity of the speaker in other cases, or his supposed veracity in this.
