Still, he pays too little attention to the sentimental likings and dislikings that frequently overbear the sense of Utility; scarcely recognizing it, except in one passage, where he dwells on the superstitions that mingle with a regard to the consequences of actions in determining right. We shall now repeat the leading points of Hume's system, in the usual order.
But the door was so long in opening, that he took to unpacking his box; when, as he jumped up to thank his mother for some peculiar remembrance of his likings, the whole affair suddenly changed to a rehearsal of death; and his longings for the remainder of the night were towards the past. He rose in the morning with the feeling revived, that something intense was going on all arouud.
Living on into the Renaissance, I saw that Jim would be taught the grievous thing called wisdom would learn his limitations and to form habits tamely contrary to his natural Greek likings. Then would he honorably neglect rabbits and all fur, cease pointing droves of pigs, and quit the silly chase of robins.
And the combination of these likings had caused her to reply "Yes" when, last Autumn, Freddie, swelling himself out like an embarrassed frog and gulping, had uttered that memorable speech beginning, "I say, you know, it's like this, don't you know!" and ending, "What I mean is, will you marry me what?" She had looked forward to being placidly happy as the Honorable Mrs. Frederick Threepwood.
It was of no use, he thought, to try to account for the prejudices or likings of any of the lower animals. Mr. Waring met them at the moment in an anxious flutter: "Mrs. Wilde is here. She is coming down the path." Mrs.

"In truth, sire, I must confess to you, that except yourself and the ladies, I have not many likings at Versailles." Louis XV smiled, and I pulled the bell; when a valet appeared, I said, "Go and find M. de la Vauguyon for his majesty." When we were alone, "What, already?" said Louis XV. "Madame is right," replied the duke, "we must strike while the iron is hot."
