It should be no cause for astonishment that I endeavour to elucidate these things by comparisons taken from pure mathematics, where everything proceeds in order, and where it is possible to fathom them by a close contemplation which grants us an enjoyment, so to speak, of the vision of the ideas of God.
Towards the end of this epoch, my eldest brother, already spoken of, was at the university, and studied theology. Philosophic criticism was then beginning to elucidate certain Church dogmas. It was therefore not very surprising that father and son often differed in opinion. I remember that one day they had a violent dispute about religion and Church matters.
"No," my friend said. "Forgive me, Ralph, for speaking quite plainly, but in this affair we are both working towards the same end namely, to elucidate the mystery. We cannot hope for success if you are bent upon concealing your discoveries from me." "This is a private affair of my own," I declared doggedly. "What I have found only concerns myself."
But presently Florence grows calmer, and then, her voice becoming clear and full, she is able to unburden her heart. "All this day I have been oppressed by a curious restlessness," she says to Dora; "and, when you left me this afternoon, your vague promises of being able to elucidate the terrible secret that is weighing us down made me even more unsettled.

The proposal made at first was only to elucidate a law which had been regularly observed for fifty years, and to remove such ambiguities as tended only to embarrass the innholders, not to relieve them.
The mechanism of button hole machines is so intricate, that I can only attempt on this occasion to partially elucidate the construction of one of them, recently introduced, namely, Singer's, which automatically cuts, guides, and stitches the work. They rock from right to left with an intermittent motion obtained from a cam.
I have known him explain, and re-explain, for a quarter of an hour, and invariably without success.

When I heard Poppleton begin to elucidate, to expound, the perspiration already on his forehead, I looked at him with imploring anguish.
How does his Japanese nationality elucidate an utterly useless and purposeless murder?" "I don't know, Mr. Brett." "Unless I am much mistaken, you will learn to-night. Holden is nearly due." The barrister resumed his stalk round the room. In another minute he stopped to glance at his watch. "Half-past seven," he murmured. "Just time to get a message through to Whitby, and perhaps a reply."
No point in ancient history has excited more variety of conjectures than the banishment of Ovid; but after all the efforts of different writers to elucidate the subject, the cause of this extraordinary transaction remains involved in obscurity.
But surely it was only this morning oh, beautiful, star-eyed Harry, that you and I, wearied with the frantic vain attempts of the unmathematical professor to elucidate by appalling triangles and hieroglyphics on the blackboard the perplexities of cube root, ousted each other from the seat, sprawling upon the floor, and were chased by the LL.D. out of doors, never to return until we apologized and promised "to do so no more."
