There's something queer about it. At the house they will give out no information, except to say that Mr. Potter can't be seen. At his office the clerks either say that he is engaged or has not come in yet. I'm beginning to think he's keeping out of the way on purpose." Mr. Emberg's surmise about the other papers publishing denials of the Sullivan interview was correct.
Such was already the condition of things when the long-threatening clouds burst, and the Anglo-French Agreement was published in April, 1904. Rumours of negotiations for the sale of British interests in Morocco to France had for some time filled the air, but in face of official denials, and the great esteem in which England was held by the Moors, few gave credence to them.
"He has poisoned him. Take him before the court martial." "Shoot him right away. He's an assassin; the Versaillais have sent him." "Off with him to the lock-up!" Servien's denials and struggles were in vain. Again and again he protested: "You can see for yourselves he's drunk and asleep!" "Listen to him he is insulting the sovereign people." "Pitch him in the river!" "Swing him on a lamp-post."
Then it suddenly occurred to her that she need never be put through the agony of her denials again, that she could believe what she liked, make up stories. Her Friend would, of course, never come to see her any more, but at least now she would be able to think about him. She would be allowed to remember. Her brain was drowsy, her eyes half closed.
The eyes of the two men met. Neither of them dodged in the least or gave to the rigor of the other's gaze. "Referring to Jack's expedition, I presume." "You don't deny it, then." "My dear Kirby, I never waste breath in useless denials. You saw Jack. Therefore he must have been there." "He was. He brought away with him a page cut from the marriage-license registry." James lifted a hand of protest.
Day after day, when he wuz tired out, beat completely out by the incomprehension, and weary doubts, and empty denials of the multitude then, like a breath of balm, came to his weary forward the soft gale from the land he sought; he saw in his own mind the tall pines reach up into the blue skies, the rich bloom and greenness of its Savannas; he inhaled the odor of rare blossoms that the Old World never saw, and then he riz up agin, refreshed, as it were, and ready to press forwards.
We should also have to deny Fechner's 'earth-soul' and all other superhuman collections of experience of every grade, so far at least as these are held to be compounded of our simpler souls in the way which Fechner believed in; and we should have to make all these denials in the name of the incorruptible logic of self-identity, teaching us that to call a thing and its other the same is to commit the crime of self-contradiction.
The biggest event in the history of Kansas was the deed on the Pottawattomie. In the fierce political campaign that was in progress its effects had been neutralized by denials. Brown had denied his guilt on every occasion. Yet as they studied his strange personality more than one member of the Committee began to suspect him as the only man in the West capable of the act.
It seemed to her vaguely that she had seen his face in the front rank of the crowd in Parliament Square; but she had heard nothing of him, or from him since their last talk. She had indeed written him a short veiled note as she had promised to do, after Gertrude's first denials, repeating them though she herself disbelieved them and there had been no reply. Was he at home?
Grubb's now, though I haven't been healing but six months last Wednesday. 'Fortunately I am very well and strong, smiled Mistress Mary. 'Yes, that's all right, but you don't know how soon sickness may overtake you, if you haven't learned to cast off fear and practise the denials. Those who are living in error are certain to be affected by it sooner or later, unless they accept the new belief.
