Leonidas and his three hundred did more for the Spartan cause by their memory than by their living valour. Man passes like the brown leaves, but the tradition of a nation lives on like the oak that sheds them and the passing of the leaves is nothing if the bole be the sounder for it. But a counsel of perfection is easy at a study table.
If they never were of much good to the community, it was a pleasure to have such a sweet little hive in the center of it; and I doubt not that the simple people felt a genuine satisfaction, as they walked around the high walls, in believing that pure prayers within were put up for them night and day; and especially when they waked at night, and heard the bell of the convent, and knew that at that moment some faithful soul kept her vigils, and chanted prayers for them and all the world besides; and they slept the sounder for it thereafter.
"It's quite clear that one or two of the big land exploitation people have a hand in the thing. I guess I could put my finger right down on them. You said the man's name was Hames?" Nasmyth said it was, and Acton sat thinking for several minutes. "It seems to me that the folks I have in my mind haven't been quite smart enough," he declared at length. "They should have put up a sounder man.
Hence, as regarded the opinions that I had received into my belief, I thought that, as a private person may pull down his own house to build a finer, so I could not do better than remove them therefrom in order to replace them by sounder, or, after I should have adjusted them to the level of reason, to establish the same once more.
He shrank from the force of his imagination. He was glad Sally had the revolver. He glanced at his watch, half believing that the clock had stopped. There at last it was, both hands pointing straight up midnight! And Tolliver heard only the storm and the unbearable strokes of the telegraph sounder. It was fairly definite now.
When I was young I thought I was vicious: now I know that I was not and that my unconscious knowledge was sounder than my conscious. I regret some things that I have done, but not many. I regret that so many should think I did much which I never did, and should know of what I did in so garbled and distorted a fashion as to have done me much mischief.
"All right," said Chide; "so long as the Herald and the Flag do their duty. By-the-way, hasn't the Herald got a new editor?" "Yes; a man called Barrington a friend of Oliver's." "Ah! a good deal sounder on many points than Oliver!" grumbled Sir James. Ferrier did not reply. Chide noticed the invariable way in which Marsham's name dropped between them whenever it was introduced in this connection.
And with this slaughter he was content. Sir Richard Hoghton then informed his Majesty that a huge boar, which, in sporting phrase, had left the sounder five years, had broken into the park the night before, and had been routing amongst the fern.
Again she left the rug, stepped to the telegraph instrument, and fingered the key daintily until she had, with the other hand, turned down the "out" card. Then she threw the switch, rattled an impatient reply, and waited, listening to the rapid clicking of the sounder. Her eyes and her mouth hardened as she read. "Cad!" she gritted under her breath.
It was difficult to understand clearly, because Joe's laughter persisted, crashing against Tolliver's brain as brutally as the sounder. "You got to tell me if you been bothering Sally." The hatred and the cunning of the mottled face grew. "Why don't you ask Sally?" Slowly Tolliver let the damp cloth slip from his fingers. He straightened, facing more definitely that abominable choice.
