As a child, between a flighty mother and a father verging to insanity from caprice, he had grown up with ideas of filial duty perplexed, and with a fitful love for either, that was not attachment: a baffled natural love, that in teaching us to brood on the hardness of our lot, lays the foundation for a perniciously mystical self-love. He had waged precociously philosophic, when still a junior.
The whole chamber was occupied by Edwin's personal goods, great and small, ranged in the most careful order; it was full; in the occupation of a young man who was not precociously an old maid, it would have been littered. It was a complex and yet practical apparatus for daily use, completely organised for the production of comfort.
She was in some respects so different from her husband as at times to make children precociously wise but nevertheless, far from knowing everything wonder why she had ever married their father, for whom, at that time, it would be hypocrisy to describe their attitude as one of love.
McLean, and they looked up at him, staring and fascinated. "Not having three feet," said the cow-puncher, always grave and slow, "I can only give two this here job." "He's got a big pistol and a belt!" exulted the leader, who had precociously felt beneath Lin's coat. "You're a smart boy," said Lin, considering him, "and yu' find a man out right away.
At an early age Clotilde von Rudiger was dissatisfied with her conquests, though they were already numerous in her seventeenth year, for she began precociously, having at her dawn a lively fancy, a womanly person, and singular attractions of colour, eyes, and style. She belonged by birth to the small aristocracy of her native land.
'In a very pregnant psychological sense, he said, 'ours is an unhistoric land. No country is so precociously old for its years. It follows, therefore, that Australia is as old as the Empire. And the Empire has its roots away back where the first man delved. We must not allow ourselves to be duped by the trickery of appearances. These new things are very ancient.
There is, however, urgent need of an absolutely new type of school a school that shall be, at least, so skilfully conducted as to supply the necessary training in mathematics, dialectics, languages, and drawing, and the necessary knowledge of science, without either consuming all the leisure of the boy or destroying his individuality, as it is destroyed by the ignorant and pretentious blunderers of to-day; and there is an equally manifest need of a new type of University, something other than a happy fastness for those precociously brilliant creatures creatures whose brilliance is too often the hectic indication of a constitutional unsoundness of mind who can "get in" before the portcullis of the nineteenth birthday falls.
With that precociously sophisticated instinct of hers she realised that the man had been emotionally stirred, and divined in her funny child's mind that it was her dancing which had so stirred him. It gave her a curious sense of power. "Sieur Hugh is afraid because he likes me to dance," she told her mother, with an impish little grin of enjoyment.
After making much of Annie, who had a wondrous liking for him and he said he was her godfather, but God knows how he could have been, unless they confirmed him precociously away he went, and young Winnie's sides shone like a cherry by candlelight. Now I feel that of those boyish days I have little more to tell, because everything went quietly, as the world for the most part does with us.
Also, this was a crisis in William's life: in addition to his yearning for such apparel, he was racked by a passionate urgency. As Jane had so precociously understood, unless he should somehow manage to obtain the proper draperies he could not go to the farewell dance for Miss Pratt.
