Our analysis reveals the living creature in an entirely new light, not only as a machinelike structure whose parts are marvelously formed and coordinated in material respects, but also as one whose activities or workings are ultimately cellular in origin.
Evelyn thrust a shaking hand skyward. "There, Tommy!" A strange, angular flying thing was moving steadily across the marsh, barely above the steamlike haze that hung in thinning layers about its foulness. The flying thing moved with a machinelike steadiness, and the sun twinkled upon something bright and shining before it. "A flying machine," said Tommy shortly.
To which Gyp replied: "If your life was empty, wouldn't you jump at a crumb?" Only for a moment was the machinelike precision of the English class broken. Miss Gray untied the cord, and peeped under the cover. The girls, watching from the back row, saw a pink flush sweep from her small nose to the roots of her hair, then fade, leaving her very white. Then: "Please continue, Miss Chase."
As one looked up the street a similarity of motion, almost machinelike, was apparent. It was an endless shaking of hands as old friend met old friend joyously. "Bet ye don't know who I be?" "I'd 'a' know'd you in Chiny. You're Mort Whittaker's wife her that was Ida Janes. Hair hain't so red as what it was."

Although not by nature a plotter, schemes had been flitting through his mind with machinelike regularity, to be examined and discarded, or to be set aside for future reference. He rejected the direct approach. It was too dangerous, depended too much on personalities, and had too little chance for success.
As it was, his machinelike, matter-of-fact training and his own self-conscious anxiety not to be different from the average good sportsman had made him conform admirably to type. He was a fine specimen of the eager, naive, quick-witted, clean-minded young American, free from "side," devoid of mannerisms, determined to make the utmost of life and its possibilities.
