Uncle Henry produced a number of cogent reasons that would make his nephew's ambition unattainable. "Very well, if I can't be a priest, I don't want the money, and you can keep it yourself," said Mark. "But I'm not going to be a solicitor."

Of home and love unattainable beyond the Rhine; of home and love buried forever in the wreckage of war and of time. This week Mademoiselle Froissart and I spent forty-eight hours in Paris, during which time we purchased one thousand toys for our Christmas party. Such a time as I had coralling a taxi to carry our large crate of playthings to the station.
"Unfortunately, your theory of happiness does not fit every case. Where is the happiness to come from for one who has no wishes at all, or who wishes for something unattainable perfect understanding, for instance?" "A human being without a wish is there such a thing?" "Yes, Madame la Comtesse, there is." "You perhaps?" she asked quickly. "Perhaps," Wilhelm returned.
But when the duty on salt was strictly and cruelly enforced, making it penal to pick up rough dirty lumps containing small quantities that might be thrown out with the ashes of the brine-houses on the high-roads; when the price of this necessary was so increased by the tax upon it as to make it an expensive, sometimes an unattainable, luxury to the working man, Government did more to demoralise the popular sense of rectitude and uprightness than heaps of sermons could undo.
