It was no ghost that lay on the earth before him, staring up with sightless eyes.
The others were too intellectual to interest her; but the touching, tender, immeasurable longing for the little sister gone out of life, filled her inmost soul with an emotion so sacred she could not talk it over with any one. This was akin to it. Yet Hanny did not live in the clouds or in vague memories all the time.
He felt as if her action had invested her whole being with a new and princely worth, as if her glance had brought light to his inmost soul, he seemed to breathe a freer air, to be borne onward on winged feet. In such a mood he appeared before his hearers. When he found himself confronting all the the well-known faces, he remembered what it was he was called upon to do.
By the way, Monsieur l'Abbé, had you not some remarks to communicate on the zoology of the Scriptures?" "Yes, we will go " "To dinner, if you please," said Madame Bavoil. The Abbé Gévresin said grace, and when they had eaten the soup the housekeeper served the beef. It was strengthening, tender, savoury to its inmost fibre, penetrated by the rich and highly-flavoured sauce.
It all rose before his vision, down to the very least detail, and he brooded with horrible anguish on the defeat, whose reproachful echoes seemed to penetrate to the inmost fibers of his being, as if he felt that all the responsibility of it was his.

To every man of great age to Sir Walter Bentham himself the idea of suicide has once at least been present in the ante-room of his soul; on the threshold, waiting to enter, held out from the inmost chamber by some chance reality, some vague fear, some painful hope. To Forsytes that final renunciation of property is hard. Oh! it is hard!
A cause does not, as such, resemble its effects; an east wind is not like the feeling of cold, nor heat like the steam of boiling water: why then should matter resemble our sensations? why should the inmost nature of fire or water resemble the impressions made by these objects upon our senses?
The reason why one state is formed from one order with such as are spiritual, and from another with such as are natural, is, because the spiritual proceed in a just order, and the natural in an unjust order; for the spiritual look to the Lord, and the Lord provides and leads the order; whereas the natural look to themselves, and thence proceed in an inverted order; wherefore with the latter the state of marriage is inwardly full of unchasteness; and as that unchasteness abounds, so does cold; and as cold abounds so do the obstructions of the inmost life, whereby its vein is closed and its fountain dried.
