If she raise others, itis but to pleasure herself with their ruins. The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex by Charles Darwin - Full Text Free Book (Part 1/17)

The last bell had rung, thelast uniformed officer and white-jacketed steward hadscurried up the gangway. The pier was massed with peoplewho had come to bid their friends good-by. Now they stood looking up to the crowded decks, shoutingout last fond words. The passengers pressed against the rails, looking down.

The gangways fell, and the huge ship parted from thedock. James Perry, one of the dozen Americans on board, wasleaning over the rail watching it all with an amusedsmile.

We would not feel comfortable if a big barbarian came intoour quiet home, broke the door down, whacked his war-club on thefurniture, and whooped his battle yell.
