Demobilisation was nothing to him—he was too old a campaigner to let a little matter like that agitate his habitual reserve.

Therefore a baby in whose brain the potential faculty of reason is slumbering must of necessity begin its career wholly dependent upon the supervision and love of its mother, until such time as it may be capable of reasoning for itself. Motherhood is therefore the supreme ...
