It was the Holy Shirt of Nieppe, which should be treasured as a memorial in our War Museum an object-lesson of what the great war meant to clean-living men.
With ``dreadful objects so familiar'' in the way of public executions, it was likely enough that pity in the commonalty was ``choked with custom of fell deeds. Something out of the way in the nature of a dreadful object-lesson might stir the hearts of the populace and make them conscious of the Wrath to Come. And Jean Livingstone did die a good death.
And thus this nightmare thought of mine was turned into another thorn to prick me on the self-accusing side. 'Twas her keen woman's wit, and no cold-blooded plan to cheat the gallows, that made her give me the sleeping draft. Having the object-lesson of my late surrender before her, she had no mind to let me mar the rescue by waking to forbid it.
"Eh, old boy! That's merely an object-lesson certain elements, in themselves opaque, yet so compounded as to give a resultant body which is transparent. But that is a matter of inorganic chemistry, you say. Very true. But I dare to assert, standing here on my two feet, that in the organic I can duplicate whatever occurs in the inorganic. "Here!"

But the interval was not entirely blank on the scientific side. Our system of arithmetical notation, including that invaluable item the cipher, took shape during the Middle Ages at the hands of the Arabs, who appear to have derived it in the main from India. Its value to science is an excellent object-lesson on the importance of the details of form.
She can't know as much about men as even I do; of course, it only makes him all the more eager. It is quite an object-lesson for me. I shall be impossibly difficult myself if I meet Mr. Carruthers again, as he has no mother to play these tricks for him. Lord Robert's answer came on Saturday afternoon. It was all done through Lady Merrenden.
What we have rather to do is to face the problem strongly and courageously, to take into account the worst and feeblest possibilities of our nature, and yet not to overlook the fact that the worst and lowest specimen of humanity has a dim inkling of something higher and happier, to which he would attain if he knew how. I had a little object-lesson a few days ago in the subject.
