I deem it a mark of friendship on my part to make you the confidant of my thoughts, and to admonish you by the precepts and examples with which I admonish myself. That is the raison d'etre of this letter. Farewell. I wrote and told you that there was a danger of the ballot leading to abuses. Events have confirmed my view.
'Auguste's description leaves me no doubt of it, and the woman at the house in the Rue Chantal where I had the caprice to inquire one day, when she had been three weeks away, told me they were here. It is annoying. Something might have been made of her. Now it is finished. A handsome lad all the same! of a rare type. Non! je me suis trompe en devenant femme, elle n'a pas cesse d'etre artiste!
As so often happens under these circumstances, we were not in the least degree interested in each other; but that has nothing to do with my story. The girls had asked various other friends, but this special lady was the raison d'être of the tea-party, and they begged me to come in good time, because Mrs Halifax had several other engagements, and could not pay them a long visit.
There was still twenty minutes, and he decided to use the time in offering solace to the army of women who, by force of mere statistics, are fated to the frustration of their raison d'etre. On this subject he had nothing very remarkable to say, and, indeed, the maiden ladies who heard him must have felt that it all amounted to a pitying shrug of the shoulders.
The development of this immortal self by an intellectual and moral and religious progress is the real business of life, the raison d'être of man's sojourn on earth.
It seems to me you have to consider the raison d'être of a people before you can tell the answer. What is the use of labor-saving inventions, if the time saved isn't of some great value? What is to be the chief end of man in a dispensation that has no catechism as a guide-post?" "A very different end from the old one," answered Adam, half sternly.
When he remarked that it was grande folie de vouloir d'être sage avec une sagesse impossible, the Prince's spirits rose only to fall again, however, at a later pronouncement from the same lips to the effect that virtuous women always brought tears to his eyes. Parflete is an admirable actress." Castrillon kissed the tips of his fingers to the air, and ejaculated: "Adorable!"
"Il est nécessaire d'être vigilant, mon enfant," the other observed, dropping a fold of his cloak, and looking the soldier close in the face, as he passed him, still continuing his way towards the British fortification.
Apart from these arguments, Gordon did not believe that Zebehr loved slave-hunting for its own sake, but rather for the wealth and position it gave him. He believed that if Zebehr were made Sultan of the Soudan, his ambitious nature would be satisfied, and he would cease to hunt slaves, the raison d'être for such an occupation being gone.
Then she would be at the fine climax of life and glory, still young and insatiate, but already coarse, hard, and raddled, with nothing left to do and nothing left to do it with, the remaining years all before her and the raison d'être all behind. It would be splendid, dreadful, grotesque. "Oh, she'll have some good years they'll be worth having," Peter insisted as they went.
