Their emotions are the agate upon which the scales must swing. In favour of the man before her, they swung with ponderous obviousness. "Then you'll marry him?" said Traill. She looked at him questioningly raised eyebrows the look of mute appeal. You might have read anything behind her eyes you might have read nothing. Traill studied them wonderingly. "You'll marry him of course," he repeated.
She appears to be more struck by the vehemence of my tone than by the obviousness of what I say. She replies, feebly, "Yes, indeed," and nods her head; but she asks me, "But the moral law that you talk about, isn't it tradition?" "No. It is the automatic law of the common good. Every time that finds itself at stake, it re-creates itself logically.
"We have done all that long since, sir," said the second police officer, smiling at the obviousness of an amateur's method of inspection, for it happened that he had never met the barrister before, though he had often heard of him. "You have?" said Brett, with the slightest tinge of sarcasm in his voice.
Was that the reason for those broken cuticles, those swollen fingertips and brittle nails? It was a thousand pities. Knowing, as she spoke, the futility, the obviousness of the lie, yet somehow unable to help speaking it, Marie answered in abrupt confusion. Yes, she had been gardening; it it was a favourite hobby nowadays; all her friends....
Hardy was aware that this was entirely a theatrical attitude, assumed for the purpose of imposing upon him a proper humility. He had experienced it many, many times. And he knew that his statement, notwithstanding its obviousness, was about to be challenged. "Dr. Hardy," said his wife, after the lapse of an appropriate period, "do you consider that an intelligent remark?"
Of the innumerable properties, known and unknown, that are common to the class man, a portion only, and of course a very small portion, are connoted by its name; these few, however, will naturally have been thus distinguished from the rest either for their greater obviousness, or for greater supposed importance.
If any one asks: 'Why should I accept the results of valid arguments based on true premisses? we can only answer by appealing to our principle. In fact, the truth of the principle is impossible to doubt, and its obviousness is so great that at first sight it seems almost trivial.
What better and more convincing proof of sympathy than a gift? The gift is one of these obvious contrivances like the wheel or the lever which smooth and simplify earthly life, and the charm of whose utility no obviousness can stale. But of course any contrivance can be rendered futile by clumsiness or negligence. There is a sort of Christmas giver who says pettishly: "Oh!
And that much has been said so often, in varied words, that there can be no need to say it again for the ten-thousandth time. Such is the aspect that Balzac presents, I could feel, when a critic tries to face him immediately; his obviousness seems to hide everything else.
But the actual theory of non-resistance itself, with all its kindred theories, is not, I think, characterised by that intellectual obviousness and necessity which its supporters claim for it. A pamphlet before us shows us an extraordinary number of statements about the New Testament, of which the accuracy is by no means so striking as the confidence.
