He is in possession and cannot be forcibly ejected, a sort of terre-tenant; such title as he has must be respected. After wrestling with an unusually notional beast, to the great disorder of clothing and temper, the Professor said, "The brain of the horse is small; it is an animal of little sense and great timidity, but it knows more than most people who attempt to drive."

Christopher went on, "to amuse people innocently is often the only good you can do them. When done lovingly and honestly, it is a Christian service." This rather shocked Hester: acrobatics a Christian service. With her grand dawning idea mingled yet some foolish notional remnants.

As I read, I seem to myself to be only thinking my own thoughts over again, now in the same and now in a different order. Ib. p. 68. Certainly not by a transfer of a notion, and this too a notion of a faculty itself but notional and limitary, to the Supreme Reality.

She said, your old aunty is queer and notional, and maybe you would be happier without her. No, no, let me stay here alone; I shall be quite contented to know my little orphan is so well taken care of! It was of no use urging Aunt Barbara, so we had to let her have her way.
