His head was bent, and he was thinking, for some reason or other, of a little boy of his own, at home in bed. Then he said, quietly, "Not this time, Gallegher." Gallegher's head sank back comfortably on the older man's shoulder, and he smiled comprehensively at the faces of the young men crowded around him.
The father had a large and open countenance, very ruddy and fringed with the most respectable white whiskers; and something ample in his voice and eye and manner accorded with it admirably. Andrew's face also was full, but rather in places than comprehensively. The chief places were his cheeks and upper lip. This lip was perhaps his most striking characteristic.
If a nation is modified en masse by transmission of the effects produced on the natures of its members by those modes of daily activity which its institutions and circumstances involve; then we must infer that such institutions and circumstances mould its members far more rapidly and comprehensively than they can do if the solo cause of adaptation to them is the more frequent survival of individuals who happen to have varied in favourable ways.
Swaying ever so slightly in her saddle, she brought her wiry little mount up to the platform, and slid from his back as snow slides from a hillside. The reins were tossed over his head and the race was ended. Running across the porch she nodded or bowed comprehensively to all seated or standing upon it the greeting accompanied by a sunny, happy smile which revealed faultlessly pretty teeth.
When a man became so sick as to be unable to help himself, the parasites speedily increased into millions, or, to speak more comprehensively, into pints and quarts. It did not even seem exaggeration when some one declared that he had seen a dead man with more than a gallon of lice on him. There is no doubt that the irritation from the biting of these myriads materially the days of those who died.
"Why, what's the matta?" demanded Mrs. Lander in an anguish of interest. The man in the hay-field seemed to think it more dignified to include Lander in this inquiry, and he said with a glimmer of the eye for him, "Hea'd of do-nothin' folks?" "Seen 'em, too," answered Lander, comprehensively. "Well, that a'n't Claxon's complaint exactly. He a'n't a do-nothin'; he's a do-everything.
Slowly he let his eyes wander comprehensively about the saloon: first, they travelled to a small balcony reached by a ladder drawn down or up at will decorated with red calico curtains, garlands of cedar and bittersweet, while the railing was ornamented with a wildcat's skin and a stuffed fawn's head; from the ceiling with its strings of red peppers, onions and apples they fell on a stuffed grizzly bear, which stood at the entrance to the dance-hall, with a little green parasol in its paw and an old silk hat upon its head; from it they shifted to the gaudy bar with its paraphernalia of fancy glasses, show-cases of coloured liquors and its pair of scales for weighing the gold dust; and from that to a keg, the top of which could be withdrawn without engendering the slightest suspicion that it represented other than an ordinary receptacle for liquor.
Upon this is founded the process of Science, so comprehensively laid out by Mr Mill in his 'System of Logic Induction, Deduction from general facts attested by Induction, Verification by experience of the results obtained by Deduction.
Then he, too, struggled to his feet, and, with unsteady hand, poured out two stiff "horns" of whisky. He held one out to the money-lender and took the other himself. "I drink to the game," he said haltingly. "May fortune come my way." Lablache nodded comprehensively and slowly raised his glass. "Fortune is yours anyhow. Therefore I trust that I win the game." The two men silently drank.
Man's Whereabouts Unknown, Desertion of Long Standing. A very different problem from the preceding may be presented in the family of a man who disappeared some time ago. Where the desertion is bona fide and has persisted over a period of years, it is often possible to treat the family as if the man were dead, and, if other circumstances make this advisable, to plan comprehensively for the future.
