White had been crossed in love, and long after had married a deformed woman for science's sake, perhaps. His talent was well known out of Rosville; but he was unambitious and eccentric. "He is interested in you, Cass, that I see. Are you quite well? What about the change you spoke of?" "Dr. White has theories; he has attached one to me.
Independent of sleep as ever, Banneker was up and footing it briskly for the station before eight o'clock, for Camilla Van Arsdale was returning to Manzanita, having been ordered back to her seclusion with medical science's well-considered verdict wrapped up in tactful words to bear her company on the long journey.
Professor Lightning talked about Man's Duty to Science, and Charley countered with Science's Duty to Man. Professor Lightning tried friendship, and argument, and even force but nothing worked. Incredible as it seemed to the professor, Charley was content to remain a freak, an Armless Wonder. More, he seemed to be proud and happy about it.
Science's reconciling power, too, on which I have already touched, philology, in her Celtic researches, again and again illustrates. Races and languages have been absurdly joined, and unity has been often rashly assumed at stages where one was far, very far, from having yet really reached unity.
They came in gloom and misery; they went away carrying in their faces the sunshine that gave them back their life.

Declare a vacation, Chris, and come with me on my secret and jubilant bat, and we'll work wonders." "And after?" I asked. "Oh, after! Well, there'll be no further reason for the 'permanent possibility of sensation' on my part. That's your precious science's best definition of life, I believe. It doesn't appeal to one as alluring when the sensation promises to become well, increasingly unpleasant."
What an incongruous picture met his eye: that heaven of color all above and around, and right before him, like a devil stuck in mid-heaven, that grinning corpse, whose fate foreshadowed his own. But daylight is a great strengthener of the nerves; the figure no longer appalled him a man who had long learned to look with Science's calm eye upon the dead.
Where Tolstoi uses an immense canvas in War and Peace, wherein Europe may see the march of a whole generation, Turgenev in Fathers and Children concentrates in the few words of a single character, Bazarov, the essence of modern science's attitude to life, that scientific spirit which has transformed both European life and thought.
