"I don't believe I know. I intend to make it my business to see that you do." There was a confident ring of masterful assurance in his voice that carried delicious conviction. A person who was so absolutely sure of himself made other people sure of him, too, for the moment. Eleanor, sitting low in the car, with her absent eyes fixed on the road ahead, lapsed into a daydream.
Reason could oppose no obstacle, and the young artist was received into the family as the betrothed of the lovely lame girl. The romantic idea which had suggested itself to my mind, that he might be the son of Therésa and my own half-brother, had vanished before the testimonies of his birth. Another daydream too.
With the sudden start of a man roused from a daydream Gourlay turned from the green gate and entered the yard. Jock Gilmour, the "orra" man, was washing down the legs of a horse beside the trough. It was Gourlay's own cob, which he used for driving round the countryside. It was a black Gourlay "made a point" of driving with a black.
The pieces acted should be dealt with according to my pleasure, and touched up here and there in obedience to my own judgment; the players as well as the plays being absolutely under my command. There," said he, laughingly, and in a glow at the mere fancy, "that's my daydream!"
Victorine trembled, sobbed, tried to hide herself; but Estelle stood up, her young face lighted up, her dark eyes gleaming, as if she were realising a daydream, as she shook her head, cried out to Lanty, 'Tell him, No never! and held to her breast a little cross of sticks that she had been forming to complete her uncle's rosary. Her gesture was understood.
It was on the moral side, and in my own person, that I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both; and from an early date, even before the course of my scientific discoveries had begun to suggest the most naked possibility of such a miracle, I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of these elements.
The presumed ability of stakeholders to discipline risky enterprises, hazardous financial institutions, and profligate sovereigns is fallacious. Asset selection within a well balanced and diversified portfolio is also a bit of a daydream. Information even in the most regulated and liquid markets is partial, distorted, manipulative, and lagging.
"It's foolish to let my thoughts wander this way," he said, drawing himself up, "but daydream is the only good thing in life. Everything else is vulgar and empty. "No doubt about it, that was a singular epoch, the Middle Epoch of ignorance and darkness, the history professors and Ages," he went on, lighting a cigarette. "For some it's all white and for others utterly black.
They'll put the abortive attempt down to me, and you may ma foi! I only suggest that you may escape safely out of France in the Daydream, and with the help of your humble servant." "But in the meanwhile they'll discover you, and they'll not let you escape a second time." "My friend! if a terrier were to lose his temper, he never would run a rat to earth.
I never found myself deterred from this fond view, which was implied in every question I asked, every answer I got, and every plan I formed. Those are great words for the daydream of infant ignorance, yet if success in life may perhaps be best defined as the performance in age of some intention arrested in youth I may frankly put in a claim to it.
