He also pointed out that while in medical school, he had observed self-proclaimed incarnations of Jesus Christ at psychiatric wards. "How can you be sure that someone *isn't* enlightened?" I asked, puzzled by the certainty with which Noah expressed his opinions. "How can you be sure that someone *is*?" he replied. I thought about the visit as I continued the journey west to Detroit.

Captain Pincher took a jorum every hour or two and retired to his berth and novels, leaving the navigation of the Morning Star to the under-officers. Ducat, the third officer, a Breton, joined us at meals. He was a decent, clever fellow in his late twenties, ambitious and clear-headed, but youthfully impressed by McHenry's self-proclaimed wickedness.

There were of course many men of extreme views on either side to whom, if there had been no such thing as a Test Act, the practice of occasional conformity was a sign of laxity, wholly to be condemned. It was indifference, they said, lukewarmness, neutrality; it was involving the orthodox in the guilt of heresy; it was a self-proclaimed confession of the sin of needless schism.

Crayford left her, and walked back toward the house. At the drawing-room window of the villa there appeared a polite little man, with bright intelligent eyes, and cheerful sociable manners.

I think it just has a few of what engineers call bugs.

He hid himself behind me; and when I asked what he was about, he answered, confidentially: "Please stand between us, sir, when mother opens the door!" A tall and truculent woman answered the bell. No introduction was necessary. Holding a cane in her hand, she stood self-proclaimed as my small friend's mother.

We're six of one and half a dozen of the other." When this self-proclaimed adventurer was really aroused he dropped the rough argot of the plains. His diction showed even some measure of culture. Meiklejohn walked unsteadily to the door. He opened it. There was no one in the passage without. "I'm sorry," he said in a strangely subdued voice. "What do you want? What do you suggest?"
