Of course I saw it all now like a flash of lightning: he had seen me about the town during the earlier part of the day, had found out I was there on business, that I was an Australian, and one or two other things it is surprising how soon one's affairs get mooted in a small town, and guessing I had the receipts of my sales on my person, had decided to rob me.
I remember distinctly the first meeting of the Tile Club, in which the subject of drawing for Scribner's Monthly was first mooted, and I do not believe I overestimate the importance that the position of the club, taken at that time, has had and still has not as a club, for it was dissolved some years back in the influence its personal art has wielded upon the printed pages of the day.
This act signalized the beginning of my service as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations. The principal contention arose over the subject of fortifications, a question that is still a mooted one.
Now before I treat of the right of the said authorities as against others, we had better resolve a question commonly mooted about religion. For it may be objected to us, Do not the civil state, and the obedience of subjects, such as we have shown is required in the civil state, do away with religion, whereby we are bound to worship God?
At this entertainment three hundred persons gave in their adhesion to the covenant, and the question was mooted whether the whole body should present themselves before the regent armed or unarmed, with a declaration or with a petition? By taking this office upon them they exposed themselves to the charge of having in no very covert manner lent their sanction to the enterprise of the confederates.
I ordered a steak, and persuaded Dan, finally, to have one too. "If it's not good for people to eat, why does it taste so good?" mooted Dan meditatively.... "Now I'll be in for it," he added, as we walked out of the door and started back to the Health Home. "But your father need never know." "At first I thought it might be all right to fool him just this once. But I mustn't.
"The reason why men and women are mysterious to us, and prove disappointing," we learn from The Pilgrim's Scrip, "is, that we will read them from our own book; just as we are perplexed by reading ourselves from theirs." Mrs. Amiable giggling Forey girls called Clare, The Betrothed. Dark man, or fair? was mooted.
But when the matter was mooted in the senate, I cut the fellow to pieces, and taunted him with his changeableness in seeking the tribuneship at Rome after having given out at Hera, in Sicily, that he was a candidate for the ædileship; and went on to say that we needn't much trouble ourselves, for that he would not be permitted to ruin the Republic any more as a plebeian, than patricians like him had been allowed to do so in my consulship.
The declaration that there had been no misbehaviour at all could not be accepted; but the news of Mr. Romfrey's having installed Nevil in Holdesbury to manage that property, and of his having mooted to her father the question of an alliance between her and Nevil, was wonderful.
Now it has been said "if you want soldiers to fight well, you must feed them well;" but this is still a mooted question, and I have known some of the soldiers of the South to give pretty strong battle when rather underfed than overfed.
