But he hadn't. And she explained herself. "I'm to play at the Euclid Theatre Christmas night." "An actor?" he said. "Well," she admitted, "some say so, and some won't hear of it." "How much money do you earn?" "Two hundred dollars a week." Mr. Holiday wrote that in his note-book. "I've got some little nieces and nephews in New York," she volunteered.
As a boy he had experienced the same sort of feeling after wrestling for an hour with a problem in Euclid, for he was capable of great concentration. He felt Helena looking at him. Turning, he found her steady, unswerving eyes fixed on him, so that he shrank confused from them. She smiled: by an instinctive movement she made him know that she wanted him to hold her hand.
The twins, as little children, had always had the same occupations, Henrietta learning Latin, marbles, and trap-ball, and Frederick playing with dolls and working cross-stitch; and even now the custom was so far continued, that he gave lessons in Homer and Euclid for those which he received in Italian and music.
Pascal’s scientific studies may be said to have begun with the remarkable incident of his youth already related, when he elaborated for himself, in a solitary chamber without books, thirty-two propositions of the first book of Euclid. But his scientific labours were in the main concentrated in the eight or ten years of his life which followed the removal of the family to Rouen.
Can morality exist without choice; nay, strengthen in proportion as it becomes more independent of the will? "A very meritorious man! he has faith in every proposition of Euclid, which he understands." Ib. p. 41. Surely this is a most monstrous confession. What! is not the Christian religion a 'revealed' religion, and have we not the most miraculous attestation of its truth?
And still further that he, Edward Henry, had engaged for the principal part Miss Rose Euclid, perhaps the greatest emotional actress the English-speaking peoples had ever had, but who unfortunately had not been sufficiently seen of late on the London stage, and that this would be her first appearance after her recent artistic successes in the United States. And lastly that Mr.
As soon as ever, by superhuman exertions, Bramble and a few others of the "potted" ones had struggled through their Euclid, and served their term of detention, an evening was fixed upon for the great event to come off. Immediately a question arose. Should the public be admitted? "Rather!" exclaimed Bramble, the treasurer, "five bob each." "Masters half price," suggested Padger.
I refused at first, I am in doubt still; for, my dear, I have always found that when the feelings move us, our duty becomes less clear to the human heart, corrupt, we know, but still it is often a safer guide than our reason. I never knew reason unerring, except in mathematics; we have no Euclid," and the good man smiled mournfully, "in the problems of real life.
The best known of these men was Euclid, who perfected the mathematics which we call geometry, and Ptolemy, whose ideas about geography and the shape and size of the globe Columbus carefully studied before he set out on his great voyage. Alexandria was also a center of trade and commerce.
The greatest service which any philosopher could perform for the human race, would be to demonstrate the certainty of a future existence, in the same satisfactory manner that Euclid demonstrates the truths of geometry. We cannot help believing Euclid if we would, and the truths he has established concerning lines and angles, influence us whether we will or not.
