Then he added with a more open sneer: "Perhaps they also have souls." "They have lives!" said Turnbull, sternly; "that is quite enough for me. I understood you to say that you thought life sacred." "Yes, indeed!" cried his mentor with a sort of idealistic animation. "Yes, indeed! Life is sacred but lives are not sacred. We are improving Life by removing lives.
He devoted himself mainly to the study of military matters, and out-door exercises, roughing it in all sorts of weather, sometimes, to his mentor Baron Polier's uneasiness, setting out on dark and stormy nights, and making his way across country from point to point.
Its increasing independence of the ostensible career makes it the organ of corrective criticism; it accumulates disturbing energy. Then it breaks our overt promises and repudiates our pledges, coming down at last like an overbearing mentor upon the small engagements of the pupil.

I like you because you bring to my jaded senses a whiff of the free air of field and forest, as well as a message from one to whom I owe much. I am sick to death of the inanities of the dandies and fops of the town. Shall we be friends and comrades, good Tom? I trow you might do worse than make your Mentor of me little though I look the part of the preceptor of Telemachus!"
Oh! what a delightful time he had had! They did not leave him to himself one moment. He had to lift them into their saddles, to assist them as they clambered over the rocks, to superintend their attempts at swimming, to dance with them all by turns, and to look after them in the difficult character of Mentor, for he was older than they, and were they not entrusted to his care?
