'A propos' of this, I must tell you what was said the other day to a fine lady whom you know, who is very good-natured in truth, but whose common countenance implies ill-nature, even to brutality. It was Miss H n, Lady M y's niece, whom you have seen both at Blackheath and at Lady Hervey's.
But when it comes to shooting a quick aim on the wing or on the run I can't hold a candle to Arnold. Hark! Did you hear that? He has brought down two, to balance with my three." "Young boys give long trail," remarked the half-breed, who was pushing wooden skewers through the birds, preparatory to balancing them on wooden Y's before the fire. "Too long," grunted the Scotsman.
But the man of science, who, forgetting the limits of philosophical inquiry, slides from these formulae and symbols into what is commonly understood by materialism, seems to me to place himself on a level with the mathematician who should mistake the x's and y's with which he works his problems, for real entities and with this further disadvantage, as compared with the mathematician, that the blunders of the latter are of no practical consequence, while the errors of systematic materialism may paralyse the energies and destroy the beauty of a life.
A very few seconds, and with the aid of the knife to erase, and the pen to re-write, Ferrers completed his task, with the exception of the change of date, which, on second thoughts, he reserved as a matter to be regulated by circumstances.

An iron ruler, I, parallel with the axis of the X's, is fixed upon a drawing-board, and is provided with a longitudinal groove in its upper surface. In this groove move two rollers, which, in the center of the piece that connects them, carry two brass T-squares that are parallel with each other and at right angles with the first, or parallel with the axis of the Y's.
Well, at Y's, when I was almost in despair, I rammed down him a sort of general statement of the situation as I saw it; at least, I made a start. But soon he stopped me and ran off at a tangent on some historical statement I had made, showing that his mind was not at all on the real subject, the large subject.
Mother said, 'Of course, dearie, and Anthea started swimming through a sea of x's and y's and z's. Mother was sitting at the mahogany bureau writing letters. 'Mother dear, said Anthea. 'Yes, love-a-duck, said mother. 'About cook, said Anthea. 'I know where she is. 'Do you, dear? said mother. 'Well, I wouldn't take her back after the way she has behaved.
