"In fact, he recommends a trip abroad; Algiers or Egypt, for preference." He indicated the dreary prospect outside the window. "Though he didn't actually insist on my going, the idea's attractive." "Could you leave your business?" Mrs. Lansing inquired. Herbert smiled. "Yes; I think so. I was doing pretty well when I got run over, and things have since slackened down.
This function of agreeable leading is what we mean by an idea's verification. Such an account is vague and it sounds at first quite trivial, but it has results which it will take the rest of my hour to explain.
"Goodness, I should think not," said Grace, while Betty and Mollie giggled happily. "I can't imagine you in the role of chief washerwoman to Deepdale, Amy; and as for stenography think how much you would have to spend before you began to earn any money." "My idea's very much simpler than either of those," said Betty demurely.
"The idea's preposterous! Why, if you shut yourself up in that miserable hovel again, I'll set fire to the place!" She knew he would. "Can't you understand," he went on, his voice softening, "that your attitude has aroused the savage, the primeval man in me that, had I met you here fifty or a hundred years ago, I would have picked you up and quietly carried you away?
It's easy to laugh at the simple folks' way of talking about "if anything happens" to one. But the idea's all right, and ought not to be lost sight of. Well then, Nick, if "anything" should "happen" to me, at any time, I want you to harness up Jerry and drive straight away into Werrina, with the two letters that I left on the cuddy table.
The idea's preposterous." But Mrs. Marshall, breaking a long silence of her own, said vigorously: "She is your sister, and you and your family are the only blood-kin she has in the world. I've a notion I have had for some time that she was somehow terribly hurt on that last visit here. It would be ungenerous not to go half-way to meet her now."
Many a time has Martin come home to me complaining of it. We have no doubt on earth that Gippsland is a very fine place; but my brother has his idea's of dignity, you must know, and I only wish he had been more used to contradiction, you may believe me. He is a lamb by nature. And, as he says, 'Why underrate one's own country? He cannot bear to hear boasting. Well!
The Winstanley people have their hands full and won't look at any outside matter, and the one or two people I've spoken to don't seem anxious to consider it. It's mighty hard for a little man to launch a project." "It is," Vane agreed sympathetically. "Then," Drayton continued, "the idea's not my own. It was a mineral prospector a relative of mine who struck the valley on his last trip.
"Well, the idea's bagged from Dante I mean Dante-gabrier-rossetti. But he doesn't want it as badly as I do. In fac', I don' think he wants it at all where he is now. If he does, he can take any of mine in exchange. You bear me out, Poppy I invite the gentleman to step down and make 's own s'lection: Nobody can say I plagiarize anyborry anyborry but myself."
I thought perhaps you were an agent of the claimant; but I didn't know you were passing under a false name, that you were aware in whose house you were staying. I thought you an honest man, on the wrong side nothing so contemptible as a spy." "That idea's fixed in your mind, is it?" he asked quietly. "Beyond any power of yours to remove it," she flashed back.
