The lost man is seldom mentioned, or is dismissed with a sailor's rude eulogy, ``Well, poor George is gone! His cruise is up soon! He knew his work, and did his duty, and was a good shipmate. Then usually follows some allusion to another world, for sailors are almost all believers, in their way; though their notions and opinions are unfixed and at loose ends.
Political intrigue begets laxity of habits; it dispels that integrity without which the unfixed mind becomes vicious; it acts as a festering sore in the body politic.
After this outburst the voter sat down and finished his breakfast. Ethandune Perhaps you do not know where Ethandune is. Nor do I; nor does anybody. That is where the somewhat sombre fun begins. I cannot even tell you for certain whether it is the name of a forest or a town or a hill. I can only say that in any case it is of the kind that floats and is unfixed.

Papa and mamma will take care of me, and when they are gone I'll inherit everything they have. I'm fixed for life." No, you are unfixed. You are a candidate for trouble. You are going to rattle. Father and mother can be great and you can be a peanut. You must solve your own problems and carry your own loads to have a strong mind and back.
