"I think they're all much of a muchness," replied Maud thoughtfully. "Good people can be bad, and bad people can be good. The best nurse I ever had turned out to be a thief, and I was so sorry when she went away. I tell you I loved that thief. You've no idea what a good, kind nurse she was; and it was found that she stole for the sake of somebody else who was poor."
"Why not?" said the March Hare. Alice was silent. The Dormouse had closed its eyes by this time, and was going off into a doze; but, on being pinched by the Hatter, it woke up again with a little shriek, and went on: " that begins with an M, such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness you know you say things are 'much of a muchness' did you ever see such a thing as a drawing of a muchness?"
They then said "Wilt not marry us?" I said "Oh no it cannot was." Again they asked me to marry them and again I declined. When they cried "Oh cruel man! This is too much oh! too much!" I told them that it was on account of the muchness that I declined. Works.
The three meals were "pretty much of a muchness," and consisted of beef, evidently put down for the men of '76; pork, just in from the street; army bread, composed of saw-dust and saleratus; butter, salt as if churned by Lot's wife; stewed blackberries, so much like preserved cockroaches, that only those devoid of imagination could partake thereof with relish; coffee, mild and muddy; tea, three dried huckleberry leaves to a quart of water flavored with lime also animated and unconscious of any approach to clearness.
I should like to know." "It was much of a muchness," replied the good woman. "Missis said to you, take care of your brother; but missis knew I loved the sweet darling too dearly to require even half a word on the subject. And supposing he does go with you, master Marten, who is to put the dear child to bed at nights? I must insist, indeed I must, that you see to it yourself.
Those, however, who apply this to the elucidation of instinct should not forget the words, "in proportion to the entire mental power of the animal in question," and should bear in mind that the entire mental power becomes less and less continually as we descend the scale of animal life, whereas proficiency in the performance of an instinctive action seems to be much of a muchness in all grades of the animal world.
It was an hour before Masters' name was mentioned, and then she said abruptly: "You tell me much of his life out here and before he came, but you hardly ever say anything about the present." "That sort of life is much of a muchness." "How do you hear?" "One of the Bulletin men Tom Lacey went East just after Masters did. He is on the Times. Several of us correspond with him."
Which know'd the most of the country they passed over, do you suppose? I guess it was much of a muchness near about six of one and a half dozen of tother; two eyes aint much better than one, if they are both blind. I'm not one of them that can't see no good points in my neighbor's critter, and no bad ones in my own; I've seen too much of the world for that, I guess.
A word of praise to Roxy made that grateful scrubber leave her work to poke about in the root-cellar, choosing "sech as was pretty much of a muchness, else they wouldn't bile even;" so Merry was spared that part of the job, and went up to scrape and wash without complaint, since it was for father.
The steady Forsyteism in Winifred's own character instinctively resented the feeling in the air, the modern girl's habits and her motto: "All's much of a muchness! Spend, to-morrow we shall be poor!"
