Britishers?'
'I am trying to do my duty, Captain Brown,' said Herrick,
with a dark flush, 'and I have the honour to inform you that I
don't enjoy being trifled with.'
'What in thunder do you want?' roared Davis. 'Go and look
at the blamed wake. If you're trying to do your duty, why don't
you go and do it? I guess it's no business of mine to go and
stick my head over the ship's rump? I guess it's yours. And I'll
tell you what it is, my fine fellow, I'll trouble you not to come
the dude over me. You're insolent, that's what's wrong with you.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Love and Friendship by Jane Austen: without appearing to notice it. "Oh! how I loved her for her
kindness!" Do you ride as much as you used to do?" said she--.
"I am advised to ride by my Physician. We have delightful Rides
round us, I have a Charming horse, am uncommonly fond of the
Amusement, replied I quite recovered from my Confusion, and in
short I ride a great deal." "You are in the right my Love," said
she. Then repeating the following line which was an extempore
and equally adapted to recommend both Riding and Candour--
"Ride where you may, Be Candid where you can," she added," I rode
once, but it is many years ago--She spoke this in so low and
tremulous a Voice, that I was silent--. Struck with her Manner of
Love and Friendship |
The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King James Bible: trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
CH2 20:29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those
countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies
of Israel.
CH2 20:30 So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him
rest round about.
CH2 20:31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years
in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
CH2 20:32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not
from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
