He saw it simply as it was, as a thing that had to be.
It made him, as Freddy would have declared, "sanely critical of the insane." It admitted the apparent folly of the thing into which he was drifting. He pulled Meg up from her seat on the sand. He realized that her domestic duties were what her nerves needed; they had lately been greatly taxed, first by her vision of Akhnaton and now by the excitement of their entry into the tomb.
A little choking cry burst from her throat, her knees trembled so that she was obliged to sit down. In her fingers fluttered a check for ten thousand dollars! It was not until the next day that the two women were sufficiently composed to talk matters over sanely. "What is your plan?" asked Zora.

If such a furious trope may stand, his special lunacy stormed his general sanity, and carried it, and turned all its concentred cannon upon its own mad mark; so that far from having lost his strength, Ahab, to that one end, did now possess a thousand fold more potency than ever he had sanely brought to bear upon any one reasonable object.
