He exchanged the character of learner for teacher too soon. "Well, uncle," said James, "what would be the consequence if gravitation should cease?" "Why, in the first place," said Rollo's father, "all the streams in the world would stop running." "The streams!" said Rollo, astonished. "Yes," said his father, "every river, brook, and rill.
We can see a country containing a series of fine landscapes much more thoroughly by walking through it, or riding on horseback, than by going in a carriage. I do not think, however, that, after all, this advantage constituted the real inducement in Rollo's mind which made him so desirous of walking to Aigle.
The same mistakes made after they become of age might be their ruin. In carrying the system into effect in Rollo's case, there seemed to be something very abrupt, at least, if not positively harsh, in Mr. George's mode of dealing with him. And yet Rollo did not dislike it.
What causes it to be condensed? Suppose a thin glass vessel were to be filled with air, and another with water, and the air suddenly removed from the room around them; what would be the effects? What effect does heat have upon the expansibility of air? How may this effect be made to appear over a lamp? In a chimney? What was the story which Rollo's father told Nathan?
The little glove was swiftly put where it would furnish a spot of light to no one else; and in breathless readiness for action, though that is rhetorical, for Rollo's breath was as regular and as calm as cool nerves could make it, he subsided again into the utter inaction which is all eye and ear.

I could buy the tickets and show you down to supper, and help you over the plank at the landings, and every thing else." Rollo's experience of steamer life had been confined to trips on Long Island Sound, or up and down the Hudson River. "I suppose you would be dreadfully sick on the way," said Mr. George. "O, no," said Rollo, "I should not be sick. What's the use of being sick?

Rollo's father felt somewhat relieved at finding that the loss was, after all, not very large. He placed confidence in Rollo's account of the facts, and having thus ascertained how the case stood, he began to consider what was to be done.
