"The pan-ic " he began, but got no further, for Gloria's hand swung around swiftly and caught him in the cheek. At this he all at once let go of her, and she fell to the floor, her shoulder hitting the table a glancing blow in transit.... Then the room seemed full of men and smoke. There was Tana in his white coat reeling about supported by Maury.
When Tana announced dinner the men, at a word from Gloria, remained coatless and went inside. Maury began a song, which they accomplished in harmony during the first course. It had two lines and was sung to a popular air called Daisy Dear. The lines were: "The pan-ic has come over us, So ha-a-as the moral decline!" Each rendition was greeted with bursts of enthusiasm and prolonged applause.
'Not so rough, fellows! he'd say in a little squeaky voice, 'please! ..." Was this Maury? thought Gloria. From any one else the story would have amused her, but from Maury, the infinitely appreciative, the apotheosis of tact and consideration.... "The pan-ic has come over us, So ha-a-as "
There was more of the true temper of philosophy in the poetic fiction of the Pan-ic shriek, than in the atheistic speculations of Lucretius. But this temper must beset those who do in effect banish God from nature. And so Mr. Darwin not only finds in it these bungling contrivances which his own greater skill could amend, but he stands aghast before its mightier phenomena.
