Talk of logic and necessity and categories and the absolute and the contents of the whole philosophical machine-shop as you will, the only REAL reason I can think of why anything should ever come is that someone wishes it to be here.

It must never be forgotten that Tam was a born mechanician.
He never had any LIFE in him; and honestly, if he is my brother, I must say I believe Bibbs Sheridan is the laziest man God ever made! Father put him in the machine-shop over at the Pump Works best thing in the world for him and he was just plain no account. It made him sick!

"He wants you to go back to the machine-shop and " "And 'like it'!" said Bibbs. "Yes, that's it to go in a cheerful spirit.
