The angels would remain notional, while my intent was to have them exist; so that the more earnestly I held to my fable the more grievously should I be deceived.
"Have you ever been at the place that he calls Clawbonny? A queer name, I rather think, Captain!" "Not at all, sir. I know a place, down in the Eastern States, that was called Scratch and Claw, and a very pretty spot it was." "It's not usual for us to the eastward, to give names to farms and places. It is done a little by the Boston folk, but they are notional, as everybody knows."
"I make it serve me well in my affairs," agreed Morrison. "Do you think I'm airy and notional and stuck up?" "No!" "Do you think I'm posing as a know-it-all because I have been about in the world and have seen and heard?" "No!" "But you do think I'm broader and wiser and more open-minded and have better judgment on matters in general than I had when I was penned up here in Marion, don't you?"
Later it was discovered on Benny's back as he scampered over the clearings. He had outgrown his barn in one night. Benny was very notional and would never pull a load unless there was snow on the ground so after the spring thaws they had to white wash the logging roads to fool him. Gluttony killed Benny.
We had a white blanket spread in our hammock. Every time I turned in I found the Congo's black wool worked in with the white worsted. By the end of the voyage the blanket was of a pepper-and-salt look, like an old man's turning head. So it's not because I am notional at all, but because I don't care to, my lad. Turn in and go to sleep. Let the lamp burn. I'll see to it. There, go to sleep."
They say he's terrible smart full of the real old stuff." "Has Gowan been thinking up anything in particular?" "Well, he's thinking he sees that money piled up in the bank vaults. We all do. And we want to get at it. Say, great thing to be working for a bank, eh? No flighty, shilly-shallying, notional women, but a lot of steady, sober business-men who'll make a good straight contract and keep it.
The eyes of the father soon met the wondering looks of his daughter, and he said, with a smile: You perceive, my child, how much we are indebted to Remarkable for her skill in housewifery. She has indeed provided a noble repast such as well might stop the cravings of hunger. Law! said Remarkable, Im glad if the Judge is pleased; but Im notional that youll find the sace over done.
That the author of the Religio Medici, mounted upon the airy stilts of abstraction, conversant about notional and conjectural essences; in whose categories of Being the possible took the upper hand of the actual; should have overlooked the impertinent individualities of such poor concretions as mankind, is not much to be admired.
That there is only one girl in Summerfield he could like well enough to marry, and I point in a certain direction, and tell him I can guess who he means! "Fairbanks is getting notional like all old bachelors. His mother taught him some of it. She thought so much of him when she kept house for him on the Hudson, she dared not let him stay away from home over night, for fear he would have the croup.
"You need fear nothing, sir, from me. But I do most earnestly hope Roswell will have nothing to do with any such ill-gotten wealth. He is too noble-hearted and generous to get rich in this way." "Well, well, say no more about it, child; you're romantic and notional. Just pour out my drops; for all this talking makes me breathe thick.
