The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Before Adam by Jack London: sociable and gregarious, and these singing and laughing
councils satisfied us. In ways the hee-hee council was
an adumbration of the councils of primitive man, and of
the great national assemblies and international
conventions of latter-day man. But we Folk of the
Younger World lacked speech, and whenever we were so
drawn together we precipitated babel, out of which
arose a unanimity of rhythm that contained within
itself the essentials of art yet to come. It was art
nascent.
There was nothing long-continued about these rhythms

joy. Yes, my dear friend, this union of our families will make our
personal friendships hereditary; and though my daughter's fortune is

possessed of more than a competence already, and can want nothing but a
good and virtuous girl to share his happiness and increase it. If they
like each other, as you say they do--
