"How odd you happened to be there at the station," she said, "just when my train came in! You're sure you weren't going away anywhere?" "No; oh, no." She was thoughtful, then laughed confidentially.
Not that the latter did not know the use of fork and napkin, but he assaulted his food with a ferocity that, as Millard once remarked, "lent too much support to the Darwinian hypothesis." On the day of his conversation with Farnsworth, Meadows bore down on the table where Millard sat alone, disjointing a partridge.
"Broken as a man's neck is broken by hanging dislocation, really the disjointing of the medulla oblongata, if you don't mind technicalities," he said. "But I kept him living just the same. Time enough for him to repent in and get ready to go. A most interesting case. He was a criminal, too, and wanted to die; but you have to keep life going if you can, to the last inch of resistance."

By displacing, disjointing words and sentences, by mis-understanding the whole, or quoting only a part of what has been said, you may convict any man of inconsistency, particularly if he be a man of genius and feeling; for he speaks generally from the impulse of the moment, and of all others can the least bear to be charged with paradoxes.
