This Right Whale I take to have been a Stoic; the Sperm Whale, a Platonian, who might have taken up Spinoza in his latter years. The Battering-Ram Ere quitting, for the nonce, the Sperm Whale's head, I would have you, as a sensible physiologist, simply particularly remark its front aspect, in all its compacted collectedness.
"If it is Professor Bryan," said Emmy Lou, "there's no need of my working any more on the Debate." "Why not?" said Uncle Charlie. "If it's Mr. Bryan, he'll never let them come, he thinks they are awful things boys." Miss MacLauren was right about it; the debate did not take place. Platonian affairs seemed suddenly tame. Would a strictly feminine Olympus pall?
Don Platon Peribanez, a silversmith in the Calle Mayor, represents the middle-class Conservatives; his people are less showy, but more in earnest and better disciplined; this Platonian or Platonic party is made up of chandlers, silversmiths, small merchants, and the poor priests. The friar, who represents the third Conservative nucleus, is Father Martin Lafuerza.
"That Society keeps you till dark." Emmy Lou knew when Aunt Cordelia's tones were final. She had feared this. She stood fingering the window-curtain irresolute. In her heart she felt her literary qualifications were not being appreciated in Platonian circles anyway. A dancing club it sounded alluring. The window was near the bureau with its mirror she stole a look.
The spirit of this school had been Earnestness, and this spirit had found voice in a school paper. As a worthier field for the talent she recognised in the Platonian Society, Miss Kilrain now proposed this society start a paper, which should be the organ for the School.
LUCIUS APULEIUS African, an excellent follower of Plato his sect, born in Madaura, a Countrey sometime inhabited by the Romans, and under the jurisdiction of Syphax, scituate and lying on the borders of Numidia and Getulia, whereby he calleth himself half a Numidian and half a Getulian: and Sidonius named him the Platonian Madaurence: his father called Theseus had passed all offices of dignity in his countrey with much honour.

The Treasurer, at this, was upon her feet, reading from the Constitution: "The revenues of said Society may be increased only by payment of dues by new members" she paused, and here reminded them that the Society was in debt. Discussion waxed hot. A constitution had been looked upon as invulnerable. At last a Platonian arose.
Lofty altitudes are expected to be chilly, and the elevation of the mansard was as nothing to the mental heights upon which Platonia was established. Platonian welcome had an added chilliness, besides, by reason of its formality. The new members hastily found seats. On a platform sat Minerva, enthroned; no wonder, for she was a Senior as well as a President.
"Then," said the President, "we'll have to elect some more. Any new names for nomination?" Names, it seemed, were unflatteringly easy to supply, and were rapidly put up and voted upon for nomination. But suddenly a Platonian was upon her feet; she had been counting. The membership was limited and they had over-stepped that limit. The nominations were unconstitutional.
