Whether this metaphysical construction be valid or not, it seemed to me that some such thing had taken place while I was sick and my unconscious, or whatever it was, had outlined a very sensible project. There was no reason why I shouldnt write such a history as soon as I could take the time from my affairs. Certainly I had the talent for it and I believed it would give me some satisfaction.
Lawns indeed!" "Lawns indeed, Miss Francis," I retorted with some spirit. "I'm a salesman and I know something about marketing a product. Yours should be sold to householders for their lawns." "Should it? Well, I say it shouldnt. Listen to me: there are two ways of making a discovery. One is to cut off a cat's hindleg.

It offers you more food than you could eat if you had a million bellies, more clothes than you could wear out in a million years, more houses than you could live in if the million contradictions which go to make up any single human were suddenly made corporeal.

"I am afraid I have not been well lately," said Marian. "I want to consult you about myself not now, of course, after what has happened, but some day when you have leisure to call." "You can put off consulting me just as long as you please; but this accident is no reason why you shouldnt do it at once.
SAVVY. You must excuse me, Mr Lubin; but it's like hearing a man talk about the Garden of Eden. CONRAD. Why shouldnt he talk about the Garden of Eden? It was a first attempt at biology anyhow. I have heard of Darwin. SAVVY. But Darwin is all rot. LUBIN. What! Already!
