When we digressed to the general question of the political, social, and moral atmosphere in which the English-speaking citizen develops, we left the formal education of the average child, whose development threads through these papers and holds them together, at about the age of fifteen and at the end of the process of Schooling. We have now to carry on that development to adult citizenship.
THOUGH you have seldom digressed from moral subjects, I suppose you are not so rigorous or cynical as to deny the value or usefulness of natural philosophy; or to have lived in this age of inquiry and experiment, without any attention to the wonders every day produced by the pokers of magnetism and the wheels of electricity.
An old housekeeper and her grandson a young fellow of about two and twenty, who tended the garden, milked the cow, and did in fact what he was wanted to do composed the establishment of the humble minister. We have digressed from Mr. Aubrey himself.
He bungled on for some time longer in this manner, but, as he digressed again into the defence of the accused, Ralph again begged to interrupt him. "I think it important, may it please your honor, that the gentleman should be sworn as to the simple fact which he has uttered.

"I can teach any thing to every thing," digressed Major Favraud, "and without severity; it is my specialty. I was meant for a trainer of beasts, probably. I will get up an entertainment, I believe, in opposition to the industrious fleas, called the 'Desperate Doves, and teach pigeons to muster, drill, and go through all the military motions. I could do it easily, and so repair my broken fortunes.
"Let's save that and have it to blow in, all in a heap, for something special?" "All right." Bert digressed long enough to catch the white hand and kiss it, and say: "Isn't it wonderful our sitting here planning things together? Aren't we going to have FUN!" "Rent, thirty-five," Nancy began, after an interlude. Bert, who had secured a large sheet of clean paper, made a neat entry, "Rent, $35."
I digressed considerably, in the preceding chapter, from my recollections of Paris subsequent to our return from Germany after the battle of Leipzig, and the Emperor's short sojourn at Mayence.
