"Perhaps. But we're quite unanimous." Mr Goble, like most theatrical managers, was not good at words of over two syllables. "You're what?" "We've talked it over, and we've all decided to do what I said." Mr Goble's hat shot off again, and gambolled away into the wings, with the stage-director bounding after it like a retriever. "Whose idea's this?" demanded Mr Goble.
Whence it follows, that our Idea's or notions, being reall things, and which come from God in all wherein they are clear and distinct, cannot therein be but true.
The idea's first rate a firm basis of right to reasonable life, and security for every human being as our low-water mark; while, on that foundation, each may lift an edifice according to their power.
It is but a claim to the right to call certain ideas true anyhow; and this is what I meant above by saying that the anti-pragmatists offer us no real alternative, and that our account is literally the only positive theory extant. What meaning, indeed, can an idea's truth have save its power of adapting us either mentally or physically to a reality?
But this sectional unpleasantness endangered the stability of the Union, and menaced with obstructions and diversions the golden stream of Northern traffic, dollars, and dividends. This was intolerable, and forthwith the Apiarian brotherhood of the free States put together their heads with those of the slave States to attack, sting, and utterly abolish the new idea, and the new idea's supporters.
But if we know not that whatsoever was true and reall in us comes from a perfect and infinite being, how clear and distinct soever our Idea's were, we should have no reason to assure us, that they had the perfection to be true.
"I believe there's so much in it that Look here, I don't know what put it into your head, and I'm not asking, but that idea's a dead secret. For God's sake don't talk about it. You mustn't breathe it, or it'll get into the air. And if it does my five years' work goes for nothing. Besides we don't want Germany to collar it." And then: "Don't look so scared, old chap.
'There now, she said regretfully, 'now I shall have to wash my face. 'You'd have had to do that anyway, said Cyril with conviction. 'Now, my idea's this. You know missionaries? 'Yes, said Anthea, who did not know a single one. 'Well, they always take the savages beads and brandy, and stays, and hats, and braces, and really useful things things the savages haven't got, and never heard about.
He was but too glad without more ado to point the moral. "Now I hope you see we can't work it anyhow." If she laughed for this and her spirits seemed really high it was because of the opportunity that, at the hotel, he had most shown himself as enjoying. "Your idea's beautiful when one remembers that you hadn't a word except for Milly." But she was as beautifully good-humoured.
The truth of an idea will then mean only its workings, or that in it which by ordinary psychological laws sets up those workings; it will mean neither the idea's object, nor anything 'saltatory' inside the idea, that terms drawn from experience cannot describe. One word more, ere I end this preface.
