A thin, nervous, highly strung man, with extreme simplicity of manner and clarity of intelligence, he impressed me as a brain of the highest temper and quality in staff-work. His memory for detail was like a card-index system, yet his mind was not clogged with detail, but saw the wood as well as the trees, and the whole broad sweep of the problem which confronted him.
But do not laugh at the blindness of John Barclay, sitting there in his power, admiring himself, boasting in the strength of his card-index to Senator Myton. For the tide of his power was running in, and soon it would be high tide with John Barclay high tide of his power, high tide of his fame, high tide of his pride.
"Well, I'll talk to her about it. I may want to buy some of the ammunition for myself," Rand said. "So I only need to bother with what's on the walls, in this room?... By the way, did Mr. Fleming keep any sort of record of his collection? A book, or a card-index, or anything like that?" "Why no, sir." Walters was positive. Then he hedged. "If he did, I never saw or heard of anything of the sort.
At the end he made a note in his card-index and wrote out a prescription. "If you're not careful," he said deliberately, as he blotted it, "you'll have a bad break-down. Now, I never tell people to do things, when I know they're going to disobey me; I shan't order you to California to-day, I shan't knock you off all work. But how soon can you go?"
It depended, so she came to think, when invited into his room for a private conference, upon a systematic revision of the card-index, upon the issue of certain new lemon-colored leaflets, in which the facts were marshaled once more in a very striking way, and upon a large scale map of England dotted with little pins tufted with differently colored plumes of hair according to their geographical position.
He was plainly going through some mental card-index, hunting for the name of Peter Siner on some long-forgotten warrant. Apparently, he discovered nothing, for he said shortly: "How do I know before he's tried? Come on, Tump!" The procession moved in a long noisy line up Pillow Street, the white residential street lying to the west.
This may be preserved in a notebook. One parent used a card-index for this purpose. There are a few books published containing good collections. You will find most valuable your own little book in which you have noted down the fugitive stories and short selections which are to be found in general literature. Fourthly, do not tell a story so as to close the child's interest in the narrative.
