These pupils are the prototypes of the people in our panorama, and are, therefore, animated by like inclinations and desires. =Desire is fundamental.= Here is a boy who is hungry; he desires food. But so does the man who is passing along the street. The man is focusing all his mental powers upon the problem of how he shall procure food.
A journey there once or twice a week, like sports and art, helped him to find peace of mind by focusing an aspect of himself less connected to innate appetites and filling Noppawan's mind with an illusion that she was the only one despite the many, an illusion both appreciated as indispensable in congealing and solidifying their relationship.
She lived with clear eyes always focusing reality as it appeared to her. Heaven was indeed a pleasanter eternal fact than hell; yet the place of torment existed on Bible authority; and it was idle to suppose it existed for nothing. Grasping eternity as a truth, she occupied herself in strenuous preparation; which preparation took the form of good works and personal self-denial.
Their very ordinariness, I felt, masked what was malignant and hostile to us. The forces of the region drew nearer with the coming of night. They were focusing upon our island, and more particularly upon ourselves. For thus, somehow, in the terms of the imagination, did my really indescribable sensations in this extraordinary place present themselves.
For one to take time to see clearly the things he would attain to, and then to hold that ideal steadily and continually before his mind, never allowing faith his positive thought-forces to give way to or to be neutralized by doubts and fears, and then to set about doing each day what his hands find to do, never complaining, but spending the time that he would otherwise spend in complaint in focusing his thought-forces upon the ideal that his mind has built, will sooner or later bring about the full materialization of that for which he sets out.

No matter how much it wanders, it returns to that central spot and is held there, keeping hold on all the other elements.
"Well, once she visited his grave with me, and as she stood weeping, she said, after focusing her eyes on me in a strange manner: "'Renie, some day from that grave may come forth a strange secret; the day may come when I will tell you about it." The detective was keenly interested at once. "Were you old enough to consider her remark seriously?" "Yes; I formed an idea as to her meaning."
His brain was fogged and he had difficulty in focusing his gaze upon the eager, upturned face of the girl; nevertheless, he appreciated the significance of this audacious inquiry and there came to him the memory of his recent conversation with the Countess Courteau. "Why do you say that?" he queried, after a moment. "Why do you want me to go?"
Nor is it needful to present extensive evidence for the statement that the Japanese have this feeling of patriotism in a marked degree. One or two rather interesting items may, however, find their place here. The recent war with China was the occasion of focusing patriotism and fanning it into flame.
But the latter were too busy focusing their cameras, and getting all that went on in the scenes, to pay much attention to anything else. The least slip meant the spoiling of many feet of film, and while this in itself was not so expensive, it often meant the making of a whole scene over again at a great cost. "Well," Mr. Pertell said at length, "I am greatly interested in Mr. DeVere.
