Most of them had just started on some course of professional training to which they won't have the energy to go back after a two years' interruption. The question one asks is how will all these men be reabsorbed into civilian life. I'm afraid the result will be a vast host of men with promising pasts and highly uncertain futures. We shall be a holiday world without an income.
"I shall always have a room for you when you can be spared, and the longer you can be with me the better. But you haven't understood yet, Meg, and of course it is very difficult for you. This is a shock to you. It isn't to me, who have been thinking over our futures for many months, and they won't be changed by a slight contretemps, such as this. I cannot live in England."
He thought that, if they could unknot themselves and cover more ground, both he and his brother, Bob Cecil, had great futures. LORD SALISBURY: "It is curious you should ask me this. I heard him for the first time this afternoon." MARGOT: "Where did you hear him? And what was he speaking about?" LORD SALISBURY: "I heard him at Grosvenor House. I think...or some such thing. ..."
The words had a familiar sound and she recalled them as like something she had said to Mrs. Prescott the day before; just the day before, when she had been so sure of things, and of herself. "But where is your future then, Wayne?" she asked appealingly. "We know, don't we, how hard it is for army men to find futures as civilians?" "I'm going into the forest service."
My two sons are over there, and I've been thinking how much I have given. But they have given their young lives, their futures their bodies, to be broken And then standing right in the middle of the Toy Shop that mother prayed for her sons, and for the sons of other women, and for the husbands and lovers, and that the women might be brave.
The assurance that the future is no arbitrary and changeable thing, but that like futures will invariably follow like presents, is the groundwork on which we lay all our plans the faith on which we do every conscious action of our lives.
In this way, young men, and young ladies too, will you find, as life glides away that the future will disappoint the expectations of the present moment!" "All futures are not gloomy, cousin Jack," said Eve; "nor is all hope doomed to meet with disappointment. A merciful God cares for us when we are reduced to despair on our own account, and throws a ray of unexpected light on our darkest hours.
She might, indeed, err too much the other way from sheer high spirits. As the impudent child had said: "If people had no pasts, they would have no futures." And Lady Casterley could not bear people without futures. She was ambitious; not with the low ambition of one who had risen from nothing, but with the high passion of one on the top, who meant to stay there.
"Law, no!" old Mis' Meade responded, with the ruthlessness of one whose mind is not on futures. "I guess I can wait till they've begun to hew out their underpinnin'." "Ain't it remarkable he can do a thing like that?" "He ain't done it yet," said the old lady sagely. "I'll b'lieve it when I'm called to the raisin'." Amarita flushed.
"We are at last three delightfully frank, insufferable, unpleasant, and very natural, likable human beings!" Lawrence laughed. "And on that basis we will work out our fates," murmured Claire. "We will do just that," Lawrence answered gaily. "Be they good or bad, we will meet our futures with perfect self-knowledge," contributed Philip.
