For a lucid view of currency, see Jevons's Money and the Mechanism of Exchange, N.Y., 1875. A useful work on the Australian method of voting is Wigmore's The Australian Ballot System, 2d ed., Boston, 1890. In connection with some of the questions on page 271, the student may profitably consult Woolsey's International Law, 5th ed., N.Y., 1879.
And Jevons's great coup had come off in the year he "gave" it; so that if they had been left to themselves their revulsion of tenderness must have coincided with his prosperity. They would have had every appearance of having surrendered to his income. And they would have missed the spectacle of his struggle.
Still, everything went well until the table was cleared for dessert; and there was no reason why everything shouldn't have gone well even then. Viola had guarded against his most inveterate failing a habit of stretching for things across the table by putting everything he wanted within his reach. Within Jevons's reach to-night was a little dish containing among other things chocolate nougat.
And with Kendal grinning from ear to ear over Mr. Jevons's delicious joke, and Jimmy waving his khaki cap in a final valediction, and Kendal's grin dying abruptly as he achieved the military salute he judged appropriate, we parted. Jimmy's last words to me, thrown over the gunwale, were, "Don't run after me, Furny. You won't catch me this time." Then I went back and told Viola about it.
For if we are bound to admit the conception of this adamantine firmament, it is equally easy to admit a plurality of such." Jevons's Principles of Science, Vol. II. p. 145. The figures, which in the English system of numeration read as seventeen billions, would in the American system read as seventeen trillions.
Jevons. I said I was a friend of Mr. Jevons's. Could they at least tell me whether he was or was not in England? They said that when they had last heard from him he was not. Then I went down to Fleet Street, to his editor, my editor. He couldn't give me Jevons's address because he hadn't got it. He rang up the office. In the office they rather thought Jevons was in Belgium.
I can't recall much of what we did talk about, but I remember that Jevons's remarks were always interesting, and that in his lucid intervals he laid himself out to be amusing. In one respect only he had deteriorated. Jevons's strong language was no longer strong.
In Economics, where both method and subject-matter were originally still more completely simplified, 'quantitative' methods have since Jevons's time tended to take the place of 'qualitative'. How far is a similar change possible in politics? Some political questions can obviously be argued quantitatively. Others are less obviously quantitative.
Jevons's cooking good nor praised the dinner that night; the attendance also might have been condemned. But as it was we were in that magic mirage of first days together and everything seemed perfect. When it was over we sought the outside again and sat watching the now paling rose of the sky being replaced by clear, tender green.
It might have been fancy, but I thought that Jevons's face underwent a change. I certainly saw Kendal the chauffeur looking at it. "Speed?" he said. "Speed? Well you can speed her up to sixty miles an hour if you want to." He ran his hand lovingly along the car's white flank as if it were alive and could respond to the caress. "She's a beauty," he said. The chauffeur looked at him again.
