She everywhere presents disorder alongside of order, retrogression alongside of progress. But, though finality cannot be affirmed either of the whole of matter or of the whole of life, might it not yet be true, says the finalist, of each organism taken separately?
There was about this period no sense of finality, but it was as experimental, in its own way, as were the years of progressing design which preceded the war period.
Then as he would have protested, she put up her hand with a gesture of finality. "It is no use, my lord. What love there is in me, that you could never have aroused not even in the past. I entreat you not to insist. Love cannot be compelled. It is or is not.
"Good Lord!" he gasped, and in those two words he revealed the complete overturning of a life-long estimate of himself. It seemed to take more than his breath away. "Good-bye," she said with finality.
For one disconcerted instant Judge Maynard wavered; he caught his breath before that level scrutiny; then with a flourish of utter finality he threw up one pudgy hand. "There's one of 'em right now," he cried. "There's Young Denny Bolton, who went to school with him, right here in this town. Ask him if Jed Conway was pretty handy as a boy!
