And what's more, I'll have one, or you leave this place in five minutes. Come, now, give me a lower-case `x." Reginald hesitated a moment. Suppose Mr Durfy had it in him to be as good as his word. What then about young Gedge? He picked up an "x" sullenly, and tossed it at the overseer's feet. "That's not giving it to me," said the latter, with a sneer of triumph already on his face.
I fancy he found out I had some pocket-money of my own, for he generally picked on me to come and have drinks with him, and of course I had to pay. Why, only last night look out, here he comes!" Sure enough he was, and in his usual amiable frame of mind. "Oh, there you are, are you?" he said to Reginald, with a sneer. "Do you know where the lower-case `x' is now, eh?"
There is, in short, no mediation for him between the Truth in capital letters and all the little 'lower-case' truths and errors which life presents. The psychological fact that he never has 'doubted' is enough. The whole monistic pyramid, resting on points as thin as these, seems to me to be a machtspruch, a product of will far more than one of reason.
If one habitually prints the words Insight, Instinct, Intuition, Consciousness with capitals, and relegates equally useful words like senses, experience, fact, logic to lower-case type, one may do it because he is a Carlyle or an Emerson, but the chances are that he is neither.
Let me see what you have done." "I've been learning the boxes in the case," said Reginald. Mr Durfy sneered. "You have, have you? That's what you've been doing the last hour, I suppose. Since you've been so industrious, pick me out a lower-case `x, do you hear?" Reginald made a vague dive at one of the boxes, but not the right one, for he produced a `z.
It would tire you to remember that DO meant b, TU o, and RO y, and that to say he-boy you must prefix the ape masculine gender sound BU before the entire word and the feminine gender sound MU before each of the lower-case letters which go to make up boy it would tire you and it would bring me to the nineteenth hole several strokes under par.
Each one of them was wearing a brassard labeled SECURITY POLICE. At least, thought Mike the Angel as he turned to look them over, the brassards aren't in all lower-case italics. One of them jerked a thumb at Mike. "This the guy, Miss Crannon?" The girl nodded. "That's him. He saw Snookums. Take care of him." She looked again at Mike. "I'm terribly sorry, really I am. But there's no help for it."
It was the word GOD. Tarzan first had been attracted to it by the fact that it was very short and that it commenced with a larger g-bug than those about it a male g-bug it was to Tarzan, the lower-case letters being females. Another fact which attracted him to this word was the number of he-bugs which figured in its definition Supreme Deity, Creator or Upholder of the Universe.
A sea, even if it isn't quite so large as others, what one might term a lower-case c!" If nothing else, that generous effort brought its reward in the dry little chuckle which escaped the professor's lips, and a kindly glow showed through his glasses as he turned towards Waldo with a nod of acknowledgment.
Give me an overcoat pocket full of lower-case interrogation marks and a medical report to run to, and I can speak on the matter of science and advancement till Reason totters on her throne. But food and oysters do not alone affect the great, pregnant future.
