The book's serenities of self-satisfaction do almost seem to smack of a heavenly origin they have no blood-kin in the earth. It is more than human to be so placidly certain about things, and so finely superior, and so airily content with one's performance.
The literary essence, which is uncommonly subtle, has various modes of acting on us; and this particular manner of absorbing a book's spirit stands to the material operation called reading, much in the same way that smell, the act of breathing invisible volatile particles, stands to the more obvious wholesale process of taste.
"Toni, we're not quarrelling, are we? Have I neglected you lately? I'm sorry if I have when the book's out we will have a trip abroad, go on the Riviera or somewhere nice and warm." He stooped, and kissed her, but though she lifted her face obediently and even returned his caress, Toni's lips were cold and her eyes had lost their sparkle. Owen's inflexibility frightened her.
Let the spirits which call themselves by this name never have peace among you. Avoid them! Distrust them! Have nothing to do with that people! May the wrath of our Father descend upon them, the damnation of the infernal dungeons! and " he brought down his book's edge loudly on the pulpit, "the excommunication of the Church of God, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman!"
"And plunge, Soul forward, headlong into a book's profound, Impassioned for its beauty and salt of truth," such a child is to be pitied as missing one of the chief joys of life. Such a child has no dear old book-friendships to look back upon.
Edward, the younger of Dame Elspeth's boys, made great objections to the book's being removed, in which Mary would probably have joined, but that she was now in her little sleeping-chamber with Tibb, who was exerting her simple skill to console the young lady for her mother's death.
It is a presence and an influence that counts throughout and counts particularly in a matter that is essential to the book's effect, a matter that could scarcely be provided for in any other way, as it happens. Of this I shall speak in a moment; but at once it is noticeable how the Maison Grandet, like the Maison Vauquer, helps the book on its way.
This book's treatment of all the Apostles teaches, as we have often had to remark, that Christ and His acts are its true subject. We are wise if we learn the lesson of keeping all human teachers, even a Paul, in their inferior place, and if we say of each of them: 'He was not the Light, but came that he might bear witness of the Light.
I retrace in memory my walks with Maggie, I can see her floating hair, and how she leaned to me; I can sit, as I used to sit reading by Maud's side, and see her face changing as the book's mood changed, her clear eye, her strong delicate hands. I seem as if I had awaked from a long and beautiful dream.
It may be questioned if the book's famous scenes the attempted breaking into the Tolbooth, or the visit of Jeanie to the Queen would not have gained greatly from a dramatic point of view had they been more condensed; they are badly languaged, looking to this result, not swift enough for the best effects of drama, whereas conception and framework are highly dramatic.
