"Until about an hour ago I wanted to marry oh for the most bromidic of reasons. Just because, in the natural course of events, it seemed the next thing for me to do. I'll even be quite frank and confess I had thought of you in that bromidic version of it. Had thought of it as 'eminently suitable' also, eminently desirable. We'd like to do the same things. We'd get on be good fellows together.
It was natural, considering the past history of Germany and the system under which he was educated, for the Kaiser to want to be lord of the world, but that did not make it any the less horrible. Another bromidic piece of advice is "Be perfectly frank and sincere." But this, too, has its limits. Some people pride themselves on saying exactly what they think.
It became suddenly the most popular indoor sport at the Sea Siren to slay this barbarian from the desert who had interfered with the amusements of Bohemia. But Clay took a lot of slaying. In the rough-and-tumble life of the outdoor West he had learned how to look out for his own hand. The copper hair of his strong lean head rose above the tangle of the mêlée like the bromidic Helmet of Navarre.
"You may estimate your capacity for the Comic," says Meredith and the statement might be applied as well to the Bromidic "by being able to detect the ridicule of them you love, without loving them less." The Bromide has no salt nor spice nor savor but he is the bread of Society, the veriest staff of life.
He placed the basket on the floor; it appeared to be filled with bromidic groceries, such as the most subdued householder carries home. "Which fellow?" asked Mr. Magee. "The fellow Elijah Quimby told me about," explained he of the long brown locks. "The fellow that's come up to Baldpate Inn to be alone with his thoughts." "You're one of the villagers, I take it," guessed Mr. Magee.
Your own mother, your sister, your sweetheart, may be bromidic, but you are not less affectionate. They are restful and soporific.
One can never foresee what he will do, except that it will be a direct and spontaneous manifestation of his own personality. You cannot tell them by the looks. Sulphites come together like drops of mercury, in this bromidic world. Unknown, unsuspected groups of them are scattered over the earth, and we never know where we are going to meet them like fireflies in Summer, like Americans in Europe.
The "Cherry Sisters" aroused immense curiosity by an act so bromidic as to be ridiculous. Were they rank amateurs, doing their simple best, or were they clever artists, simulating the awkward crudeness of country girls? That was the question. In a word, were they Sulphites or Bromides?
All such logic is fatuous, and founded upon a misconception of the Theory. There is, however, a subtlety which has perhaps had something to do with confusing the neophyte. It is this: Sulphitism and Bromidism are, symbolically, the two halves of a circle, and their extremes meet. One may be so extremely bromidic that one becomes, at a leap, sulphitic, and vice versa.
Do you not recall the smug, confident look, the assurance of having said a particularly happy thing? They come inevitably as the alarm clock; when the hands of circumstance touch the hour, the bromidic remark will surely go off. But, lest one make too much of this particular symptom, let us consider a few other tendencies. The Bromide has no surprises for you.
