suppose you will work/ will be working very hard in the autumn. Ex. 8, p. 439 "Shall I call again tomorrow?" asked the doctor, before taking leave of the old man. "Oh, no, we will send for you if she isn't so well," he replied. "She has hardly had any temperature today; her cough is easier; and the pain has quite disappeared. I can't think, though, how she has caught this germ. She has hardly been out of the house for the last three weeks, owing to the intenseness of the cold, and nobody else has influenza, or even a cold." "She is certainly very subject to infection. Has she ever tried a course of injections to strengthen her system against these germs? Three injections ah intervals of a week, at the beginning of the winter, will often work marvels." "It is difficult to persuade her to take care of herself, doctor," sighed the father, "but when she is better, I will certainly suggest it to her." Ex. 9, p. 440 Many years ago I was thrown by accident among a certain society of Englishmen, who, when they were all together, never talked about anything worth talking about. Their general conversations were absolutely empty and dull, and I concluded, as young men so easily conclude that those twenty or thirty gentlemen did not have half a dozen ideas among them. A little reflection reminded me, however, that my own talk was no better than theirs, and consequently that there might be others in the company who also knew more and thought more than they expressed. I found out by accident, after a while, that some of these men had more than common culture in various directions: one or two had travelled far, and brought home the results of much observation; one or two had read largely, and with profit; more than one had studied a science; five or six had seen a great deal of the world. It was a youthful mistake to conclude the men were dull because their general conversation was very dull. The general conversations of English society are dull; it is a national characteristic. |
