Someone had entered the schoolroom at the far end. He turned round, with the paint-brush in one hand and the pork-pie in the other, and became abashed, for a beautiful lady had entered the room and was evidently about to make an enquiry. The surreptitiousness that seems to inhere in pork-pies prompted Mr.
Everything a woman wears or touches immediately incarnates something of herself. A handkerchief, a glove, a flower, with a breath she endues them with immortal souls. How much, therefore, of herself must inhere in a garment so confidential as a petticoat, or so close and constant a companion as a stocking!
And, if the substance of the soul is defined as that in which perceptions inhere, what is meant by the inherence? Is such inherence conceivable? If conceivable, what evidence is there of it? And what is the use of a substratum to things which, for anything we know to the contrary, are capable of existing by themselves?
To his quick Celtic instinct there seemed to inhere, in that open, dark, and silent window, something as sinister and repellent as the inscrutable, soundless menace of a revolver presented to one's head.
The general description of the two-horned beast, however, brings into prominence an evil characteristic the disposition to lead people into deception by making an image to the beast and then worshiping it. The evil does not inhere in the work of bringing down "fire from heaven," but in image-making and image-worship, for which the Spiritual work simply furnished an occasion.
What possibility then of answering that question, Whether perceptions inhere in a material or immaterial substance, when we do not so much as understand the meaning of the question? There is one argument commonly employed for the immateriality of the soul, which seems to me remarkable.
"But," objected Leslie, "though that may be so, yet still the Good, that Is the person, does inhere in an alien stuff the body." "But," I replied,"is the body alien? Is it not rather an expression of the person? as essential, somehow or other, as the soul?" "Certainly!" cried Ellis. "Give me the flesh, the flesh!
It is an explanation proposed for certain phenomena. 'And we have a right to demand that, if it wants recognition even as a theory, it must explain those phenomena. Now the principle of evolution is: All things have developed through certain forces which inhere in matter. In matter there are from the beginning certain forces inseparable from matter.
Papinian himself wrote that servitudes cannot be partially extinguished, because they are due from lands, not persons. /2/ Celsus thus decides the case which I took for my illustration: Even if possession of a dominant estate is acquired by forcibly ejecting the owner, the way will be retained; since the estate is possessed in such quality and condition as it is when taken. /3/ The commentator Godefroi tersely adds that there are two such conditions, slavery and freedom; and his antithesis is as old as Cicero. /4/ So, in another passage, Celsus asks, What else are the rights attaching to land but qualities of that land? /5/ So Justinian's Institutes speak of servitudes which inhere in buildings. /6/ So Paulus speaks of such rights as being accessory to bodies.
"I don't know I want air. Howard, please let me go. It's-it's so hot inhere. You must let me go." Her release, she felt afterwards, was due less to a physical than a mental effort. She seemed suddenly to have cowed him, and his resistance became enfeebled. She broke from him, and opened the door, and reached the cement platform and the cold air.
