Take pupils, perhaps; open a class? A lurid conception of a class conducted on those principles of shameless flattery at which Mrs. Horn had hinted he believed now she had meant to insult him presented itself. Why should not he act upon the suggestion? He thought with loathing for the whole race of women dabblers in art.
"Were not Chalais, Cinq-Mars, Biron, and Montmorency executed?" asked Herzog, with irony. "That was on a scaffold," replied Panine. "Well! the speculator's scaffold is the Bourse! But only small dabblers in money succumb; the great ones are safe from danger.
But it is a region in which the way lies readily open to all kinds of superstition and self-deceit. The pursuit of truth for its own sake is essentially a religious thing: but the motives of many amateur dabblers in psychical research are far from being truly religious or spiritual.
I understood then, for the first time, the peculiar charm which I had often seen work so fatally with dabblers in Spiritualism. The fascination of the thing was upon me. I ransacked the papers for advertisements of mediums. I went from city to city at their mysterious calls.
These low-caste conjurers as they are called are mere vulgar dabblers, but the men who have trod the higher path are as far superior to us in knowledge as we are to the Hottentots or Patagonians." "You speak as if you were well acquainted with them," I remarked. "To my cost, I am," he answered. "I have been brought in contact with them in a way in which I trust no other poor chap ever will be.

Though I'm not religious, I'm not a humbug, and only speak the truth when I say I should be glad to serve you. A man must be neighborly, or what is there left of him? Even you will allow that our duty to our neighbor is half the law, and there is some help in medicine, though I confess it is no science yet, and we are but dabblers." "But," said Mr.
We dabblers in science are experimenting with it at Gresham College. A taste of it means death a painless, quick and honorable death. You will have died of a heart seizure. Come, Robin, let us drink to the honor of the Calverleys." The poet-earl paused for a little while. Now he was like some seer of supernal things. "For look you," said Lord Ufford, "we come of honorable blood.
Where you know you have something to do worth doing, you are conscious of the Divine Benediction, and who can worry when the smile of God rests upon him? This is a truism almost to triteness, and yet how few fully realize it. It is the unworthy potterers with life, the dabblers in life-stuff, those who blind themselves to their high estate, those who are unsure of their footing who worry.
Methods such as these are happily not in vogue in our own race, yet even among us large numbers of dabblers in this ancient art adopt some plan of self-hypnotization, such as the gazing at a bright spot or the repetition of some formula until a condition of semi-stupefaction is produced; while yet another school among them would endeavour to arrive at similar results by the use of some of the Indian systems of regulation of the breath.
