In the hush of the little room they heard Senator Pownal declaiming: "And it is upon these firm principles, bedrock of inalienable rights guaranteed to the people, upon the broad issues of reform, inculcation of temperance, and the virtues of civic life, that the Republican party is founded."
At last, taking advantage of a gleam of common sense, I said: "It's all very well for you to try to get to the bedrock of things. But what about Lackaday?" "He's not to know." "He'll have to know," I insisted warmly. "The circus tent is but a small affair. You'll be there under his nose." I followed the swift change on her face. "Of course if you don't care if he sees you..."
When scholarship, reason and conscience have made impossible the acceptance of Revelation as the bedrock of morality, the student especially in the West is apt next to test "Intuition" as a probable basis for ethics. In the East, this idea has not appealed to the thinker in the sense in which the word Intuition is used in the West.
Say, boys, you've struck gold in this layout o' yours. That's what's brought me out in this all-fired storm." The two brothers exchanged rapid glances and then Ralph spoke for them both. "You're smart, Victor. That's so. We've been workin' a patch o' pay-dirt for nigh on to twelve month. But it's worked out; clear out to the bedrock.
"I am, as you are aware, my dear Mahony, no sentimentalist. But these rioters of yours seem to me the very type of man the country needs. Could we have a better bedrock on which to build than these fearless champions of liberty?" He set an excellent meal before his brother-in-law, and himself ate and drank heartily, unfolding his very table-napkin with a kind of relish.
Of these spiritual prerequisites of success, which constitute the bedrock on which the security of all teaching plans, Temple projects, and financial schemes, must ultimately rest, the following stand out as preeminent and vital, which the members of the American Bahá’í community will do well to ponder.
The situation was too blatant, too raw, too near bedrock, too naked and unashamed, for me to take refuge in platitudinous generalities of excuse. The bravest of men know Fear. They know him pretty intimately. But they manage to kick him to Hades by the very reason of their being brave men. I had to take Leonard Boyce as I found him. And I must admit that I found him a tragically miserable man.
There was no evading this childish inquisitor. He had a way of pursuing a subject to bedrock. "Well, you see, I've no wife." "No mother?" "No no wife. You see " "But I have a mother " "Of course, and she is your daddy's wife. You see they have to have that " Grant found himself getting into deep water, but the sharp little intellect had cut a corner and was now ahead of him.
His life had so far been composed of isolated triumphs and isolated defeats, which had not yet so combined one with another as to form a bedrock of experience which would serve as a standard for future judgments. He had made merry, careless of what the next day would bring. He had fought with "the Bull"; and in the struggle he had achieved some things, and failed to achieve more.
It is worth noting, however, that he looked forward rather than back, towards the coming realism, not to the incurable pseudo-romanticism of the late eighteenth century, in his instinct to base his happenings upon the bedrock of truth the external truth of scene and character and the inner truth of human psychology.
