Between the two he vacillated not at all; anything were preferable to a night in the dunes, beaten by the implacable storm, haunted by the thought of Quain; and even though he were to find the eastern causeway under water, at least the exercise would have served to keep him from freezing.
Many a poor priest of his country has been to him, and from them he would never take, though not of his faith. Quain was indeed the literary man's physician; more so than Sir Andrew Clarke, who was presumed to hold the post by letters patent.
Quain, whose learning exceeded even theirs so the elders sarcastically ventured to surmise was not ashamed to believe in the inspiration of the Old Testament; he could reconcile the chronology of the earth's crust with the first chapter of Genesis; he had a satisfactory explanation of the Johannine gospel; and his mere existence was an impregnable fortress from which the adherents of the banner of belief could not be dislodged.
I'll write against them, Detest them, curse them. Yet 'tis greater skill In a true hate, to pray they have their will: The very devils cannot plague them better." "Enthralled, a story of international life setting forth the curious circumstances concerning Lord Cloden and Oswald Quain": a mad opus this, an insane phantasmagoria of crime, avarice, and murder.

"However," she considered demurely, "I'm not at all sorry, really; it's quite an experience to have a notability at a disadvantage, even if only for a few minutes."
Never was the esse quain videri in any point more strongly discriminated than in this very point of gallantry to the female sex, as between England and France. In France, the verbal homage to woman is so excessive as to betray its real purpose, viz. that it is a mask for secret contempt.

That translation of the 'Tantras' ! Wonderful!... Well, he's gone his own way: God be with him.... When do you want to start?" "As soon as possible sooner. I've not a day to lose not an hour." "Urgent as that, eh?" Quain peered keenly into his face. "I wish I knew what you know. I wish to Heaven I might go with you. But I'm married now and respectable.
