In the meantime I try to explain to Alice that these are phantoms we vision, of no relation to the practical life that we must lead on our side of the boundary line; I tell her that these things we see are not, and never have been and never will be. Am I right, do you think, sir?" "Quite right," I told him. "My latest fad," said Cooper, "is this little library of the greatest names in literature.
Stanwell raised a protesting hand. "Really, for one order, you're a little lurid!" "One? Haven't you already had a dozen others?" "Only one other, so far and I'm not sure I shall do that." "Not sure wavering already! That's the way the mischief begins. If the women get a fad for you they'll work you like a galley-slave. You'll have to do your round of 'copy' every morning.
At the time when there was a fad for making lists of The Hundred Best Authors, I always wondered that you didn't put forth some such schedule."
"Just fancy," said Mrs. Cayhill, laughing good-humouredly, "she was saying we ought to leave Leipzig and go to some strange place. Even back home to America. You don't want to go away, darling, do you?" "No, really, Joan is too bad," cried Ephie, with a voice in which tears and exasperation struggled for the mastery. "She always has some new fad in her head. She can't leave us alone never!
A brave and foresighted man, however treacherous at heart, can always be trusted to a certain extent. One can never get anything clear from Belarab. Peace! Peace! You know his fad. And this fad makes him act silly. The peace racket will get him into a row. It may cost him his life in the end.
My mother in her dear unwisdom of faith and hope magnifies the value of it. It's just an idle man's fad." "A fad with an uncommon amount of backbone to it, apparently." "That depends on its eventual success. It's a thing to be judged not by intentions but by results." "What made you think of it?" Richard looked full at her, spreading out his hands, and again shrugging his shoulders, slightly.
Marie Antoinette's fondness for the chase and the English racing fad, for gambling, billiards, and her petits soupers after the riding and racing, gave ample opportunity to the gossipmongers and enemies.
I could hardly speak. "Oh, Minnie!" I cried once more, "have you ... have you any photograph of him?" "No, we haven't, dear," Minnie answered. "That was a fad of Courtenay's, you know. Wherever he went, he'd never be photographed. He was annoyed that day that your father should have taken him unawares. He hated being 'done, he said. He's so handsome and so nice, but he's not a bit conceited.
Now Augustin never went higher than a simple auditor in the Manichean Church. What attracted specially fine minds to the Manichees, was that they began by declaring themselves rationalists. To reconcile faith with natural science and philosophy has been the fad of heresiarchs and free-thinkers in all ages. The Manicheans bragged that they had succeeded.
If he continues as he has begun, he will be surprised to find how soon he will be able to instruct, on one subject at least, the college graduate, unless that graduate has happily continued as a fad what he once perfunctorily acquired.
