But the mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm. But once gone through, we trace the round again; and are infants, boys, and men, and Ifs eternally. Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? In what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary? Where is the foundling's father hidden?
She had come over one morning with Miss Craydocke, for a nursery visit and to see the new arrangements. "What should we have done if anything hadn't been?" asked Asenath, in return. "Everything always has been, somehow, in my life. I don't believe we have anything to do with the 'ifs' way back, do you, Miss Hapsie?
Roger, who was a wag, had a dish of chat with her, and after some ifs, ands, and buts, hems and heighs on her side, got her in the mind to get up behind him, to go and see his stable, and there take a bit by the bye in a civil way.
Do you mean you are going to accept it?" "In a way yes." "In a way? What do you mean by that? I tell you frankly, Paine, if you go to work for me there must be no 'ifs' or 'buts' about it. You'll enter my office and you'll do as I, or the men under me, tell you to do." I was glad he said that, glad that he misunderstood me.
If self-defence could be established and owing to the fact that neither Dic nor Rita was to testify, that would be difficult to accomplish Dic would go free. These enormous "ifs" complicated the case, and Dic was detained in jail till Doug's fate should be known. I shall not try to tell you of Rita's suffering.
"No buts or ifs, Thurston," cried Kennedy sarcastically. 'What did you make that affidavit for? What is your story?" "Kimmel sent for me. I did not go to him. He offered to pay my debts if I would swear to such a statement. I did not ask why or for whom. I swore to it and gave him a list of my creditors. I waited until they were paid.
"Is the last word to be spelt with one or two s's?" asked the young Doctor. The company laughed feebly at this question. I answered it soberly. With one s. There are more foolish people among the Ifs than there are among the Ases. The company looked puzzled, and asked for an explanation.
So, when we have conceived something for the good of the world and have allowed it to go by default we have dropped the monkey-wrench into the machinery of our preparedness. We must look about us for a reason. Have we fallen by the wayside of carelessness? Have we allowed ourselves to be discouraged by cowardly "ifs"? Did we lack the sand? Exactly so; we didn't have the courage of our convictions.
Readers may try to remember these elucidative items, riddled from the immensities of Dryasdust: I have no more to give, nor can afford to return upon it. May not we well say, as above, "A Treaty thought to have many IFS in it!" A very mild-spoken Piece, though it had required such courage; and which is not now worth speaking of, things having gone as we see.
Believe me, child if you only do not " "No ifs! not this time!" cried the young beauty, raising her hand beseechingly. "It gives me such delight to think of the new life, and if matters come to pass as I hope and wish then do not you also believe, mother, that the gods owe me reparation?"
