But we must not, in so doing, wean still more from, but perpetually incite to visit, field, forest, hill, shore, the water, flowers, animals, the true homes of childhood in this wild, undomesticated stage from which modern conditions have kidnapped and transported him.
I drew a pink slip with two numbers on it, one showing the compartment where I was supposed to sleep, the other indicating my bunk. That compartment certainly was a glory-hole. Most of the men had been drunk the night before, and the place had the rich, balmy fragrance of a water-front saloon. Incidentally there was a good deal of unauthorized and undomesticated livestock.
They believe that on public occasions the chuprassies have sometimes the power of sicklying them o'er with the pale cast of neglect. English officers who have become de-Europeanised from long residence among undomesticated natives, or by the habitual performance of petty ceremonial duties of an Oriental hue, employ chuprassies to aggrandise their importance.
She didn't care a rap about the lectures, and thought they were mad to go traipsing all the way to Hampstead to harangue about things they could have discussed just as well now, couldn't they? at home. Aggie, she said, would become completely undomesticated. Mrs. Purcell was never pressed to stay longer than a week.
Such men can never love, except as an interlude. Do you understand me?" The doctor paused at this sharp interrogation; Long's eyes had followed him wonderingly during his long monologue. "So you thought " he stammered. "That you were made in that way," nodded the doctor; "an undomesticated animal." Long sat brooding over this idea. The doctor went on in his low, swift tones.
The shallow presumption is that undomesticated impulses can be obliterated; that world-wide economic inventions can be stamped out by jailing millionaires and acting in the spirit of Mr. Chesterton's man Fipps "who went mad and ran about the country with an axe, hacking branches off the trees whenever there were not the same number on both sides."
We have to consider in what directions this mass of capable, intelligent, energetic, undomesticated freewomen is likely to develop, what its effect will be on social usage, and particularly how it will react upon the lives of the married women about them.
Martialists have the same delight in bright colours as Orientals, with far greater taste in selection and combination; and the favourite hues not only of their flowers, tame birds, fishes, and quadrupeds, but of plants in whose cultivation utility has been the primary object, contrast signally, as I have said, with the dull tints of the undomesticated flora and fauna, of which comparatively scanty remnants were visible here and there in this rich country.
She repudiated any reality that went contrary to the motif of finding the entity through simple pleasures of the senses experienced in the present moment. On this day, as all others, she was mixing various vegetables into a potpourri of soup that required as little culinary sense as an undomesticated female needed to have.
Up till we prisoners left four days my Captain Mankeltow told me pretty much all about himself there was; his mother and sisters, and his bad brother that was a trooper in some Colonial corps, and how his father didn't get on with him, and well, everything, as I've said. They're undomesticated, the British, compared with us.
