If for many years I had been feeling myself more conservative than my friend and master, there now came a time when in many ways I felt myself to be more liberal than he, with his mysterious life in the eternal realm of mind of which he felt himself to be a link. I had not been studying Jurisprudence much more than a year before it began to weigh very heavily upon me.
But I am doing nothing," said Ellen, sadly "learning nothing I am not studying and improving myself as I meant to; Mamma will be disappointed when she comes back; and I meant to please her so much!" The tears were fast coming; she put her hand upon her eyes to force them back.
He was trying hard to be reasonable, and said to himself that he would not be irritated, come what might. "I cannot approve of women studying medicine, but I am sorry for you, Miss Blyth." Her face, which had been bitter enough in its set and scornful beauty, suddenly melted into a bewildering softness of light and laughter. She leaned forward. "But it was funny!" she said.
Obey, or I do nothing." So Rachel ate, and afterwards, feeling drowsy, even slept a while, perhaps because she was still weary with her journeying and her new-found mind needed repose, or perhaps because some drug had been mingled with her drink. When she awoke Nya led her to the mouth of the cave. There they stood awhile studying the stars.
"I go not among them, nor do I hear anything from them. When I leave the prison in the evening, full of sorrow at what I have seen here, I find that the best use I can make of my time is in studying the Word of God, and especially the Psalms of David."

You desire to obtain knowledge, by travelling and conversing with many persons, and studying many sciences; but you desire it for yourself alone. Me you think poor, weak, and contemptible; fit for nothing but to spin and churn.
The dealer for a moment amused himself in studying her bewilderment, which he thought charming only wishing that his son, a young painter, were standing in his place. At last he broke the silence however, saying: "Your father, perhaps, will not agree to our bargain; and yet it is for him you want the money?" "Who says so?" "Would he have offered me his own treasures if he had not wanted money?"
"There are far more beautiful things than that," Douglas assured her enthusiastically, as the echo of many such rang in his ears. "There are?" And her eyes opened wide with wonder. "Yes, indeed," he replied, pitying more and more the starvation of mind and longing to bring to it floods of light and enrichment. "I guess I'd LIKE to hear YOU spiel," and she fell to studying him solemnly.
These gentlemen made an exhaustive investigation lasting several months. I laid their report before the Legislature with a message in which I said: "There is probably no lawyer of high standing in the State who, after studying the report of counsel in this case and the testimony taken by the investigating commission, would disagree with them as to the impracticability of a successful prosecution.
At the age of fifteen he found himself in love with a beautiful young lady, who, unfortunately, had made up her mind to accept only the hand of a clergyman: hence, she rejected his. This so disturbed his thoughts, that he resolved on studying theology. In this he was aided by the singular discovery, that he had a talent, and a "call to preach."
