Even the more self-contained were unable to conceal the fact that they were impressed by these experiments as well as by the quiet dignity of this young man. They seemed to realize that he had them figuratively if not literally in the palm of his hand. The dullest and least imaginative saw the endless possibilities in the application of his discovery to the arts and sciences.
But my life has brought me into frequent contact with those who suffer; and the dullest of us gain a certain sharpness in the matters to which our observation is habitually drawn. You took me in at first, it is true. I thought you were a philanthropical humourist, who might have crotchets, as many benevolent men, with time on their hands and money in their pockets, are apt to form.
Would any chance wayfarer so wantonly imperil his neck for the sake of a lady with whom he can scarce be called acquainted?" It was an argument that had weight with them, as indeed, it must have had with the dullest. I flashed my ring before their eyes. "This escutcheon," said I, "is the shield that shall stand between us and danger from any of the house that bears these arms."
Everybody, too, was going to have a hot Sunday dinner, if there was any truth in the odors that steamed out of every door and window; and this dinner was to be abundantly garnished with onions, for the dullest nose could not err concerning that savor.
Even the wildest and dullest members of his far-scattered flock learned in time that life was sacred even the life of a half-dead stranger awash in the surf. That even a deserted or unpeopled wreck should be common property may not seem right to some people; but it seemed right to Father McQueen and surely he should know what was right and what was wrong!
My Lord would have had me have consented to leaving the young people together to-night, to begin their amours, his staying being but to be little. But I advised against it, lest the lady might be too much surprised. So they led him up to his chamber, where I staid a little, to know how he liked the lady, which he told me he did mightily: but Lord! in the dullest insipid manner that ever lover did.
An author is now to be sought, and many diverting arguments may be brought by the dullest inquirer for fixing it upon one man, or denying it to another.
The dullest of us can see how excellent and divine is brotherhood, if we do assuredly carry out the conception of fraternity thoroughly; but again I say, How hard it is to banish self and follow the teaching of our divine Brother!
The contrast between the present and past might be drawn out to any extent, but enough has been said to enable the dullest mind to realize the truly marvellous development of our great Dominion.
Yet as the sun rose while we were climbing the huge buttress of the Mönch, the dullest of us I refer, of course, to myself felt something of the spirit of the scenery.
