"Oh, Nelson, how can you say such a thing, when you came to get him!" exclaimed his sister." "I recommended him because I thought he had none," Langmaid declared. "He'll be a bishop some day every one says so," said Mrs. Whitely, indignantly. "That reassures me," said her brother. "I can't see why they sent you you hardly ever go to church," she cried.
"When Monsieur de l'Estorade returns, speak of the injury to Rene's finger, and tell me that little wounds like that sometimes have serious consequences if not attended to at once, and that will give me an excuse to send for Doctor Bianchon."

The tranquillity of the Pompilus, who keeps on jauntily curling her antennae in face of the Segestria, reassures me as to my prisoner's fate; for greater security, however, I throw her a scrap of paper, in the folds of which she will find a refuge during the night. She instals herself there, out of the Spider's reach. Next morning I find her dead.

The individual's dream straightens and reassures itself by merging with the dream of humanity. To dwell, as irrational poets do, on some private experience, on some emotion without representative or ulterior value, then seems a waste of time.
