So Sweyn theorised, convincing himself as he spoke; convincing afterwards others who advanced doubts against White Fell; fettering his judgment by his advocacy, and by his staunch defence of her hurried flight silencing his own inner consciousness of the unaccountability of her action. But a little time and Sweyn lost his vantage in the shock of a fresh horror at the homestead.
Men may still cavil at his conclusions, and maintain that he theorised and systematised and was tempted to interfere too much, but they have long ceased to question his perfect integrity and single-heartedness, his rooted aversion to all trickery and to deceit in every form.
Lessing, in the Laocoon, has theorised finely on the relation of poetry to sculpture; and philosophy can give us theoretical reasons why not poetry but sculpture should be the most sincere and exact expression of the Greek ideal. By a happy, unperplexed dexterity, Winckelmann solves the question in the concrete.
She had theorised often on the murder of Vrain, and being unable to come to any reasonable conclusion, finally decided that a ghost the ghost which haunted the mansion had committed the crime. In support of this fantastic opinion she related to Lucian at least a score of stories in which people foolishly sleeping in haunted rooms had been found dead in the morning.
She thought again of her telegram, theorised a little, came to no conclusion except to let the matter rest for the present, and mentally turned to the next and far less important problem the question of this rather attractive young man at her side, and why the name of Siward should be linked in her mind with anything disagreeable.
"A lighted lamp and closed doors, and the outside world is what you will it to be," the Maluka theorised, and to disprove it Mac drew attention to the distant booming of the bells that swung from the neck of his grazing bullocks. "The city clocks," we said. "We hear them distinctly at night."
If we consider for a moment the vast amount of thought which the Egyptian gave to the problems of the future life, and their deep-seated belief in resurrection and immortality, we cannot fail to conclude that he must have theorised deeply about the constitution of the heaven in which he hoped to live everlastingly, and about its Maker.
Reconstructing these things later Maisie theorised that she at this point would have put a question to him had not the silence into which he charmed her or scared her she could scarcely tell which come from his suddenly making her feel his arm about her, feel, as he drew her close, that he was agitated in a way he had never yet shown her.
Mrs. Brinkley looked at him for an instant as if she really thought him capable of it. Then she joined him in his laugh. Mrs. Brinkley had theorised Alice Pasmer as simply and primitively selfish, like the rest of the Pasmers in whom the family traits prevailed.
He speaks of it all as if he theorised; as if he had never been called on, in the course of his life, to witness the actual consequences of such failings; as if he had never stood by and seen the issue, the final result of it all.
