Reading blue coats
But here, perhaps, some of my younger Readers may ask HOW a woman in Flatland can make herself invisible.They are, moreover, of a rough coarse nature, not sensitive to the delicate reading blue coats touch of the highly organized Polygon.Any Female, duly certified to be suffering from St.If even the angle of a respectable Triangle in the middle class is not without its dangers if to run against a Working Man involves a gash if collision with an officer of the military class necessitates a serious wound if a mere touch from the vertex of a Private Soldier brings with it danger of death what can it be to run against a Woman, except absolute and immediate destruction? And when a Woman is invisible, or visible only as a dim sub lustrous point, how difficult must it be, even for the most cautious, always to avoid collision! Many are the enactments made at different times in the different States of Flatland, in order to minimize this peril and in the Southern and reading blue coats less temperate climates where the force of gravitation is greater, and human beings more liable to casual and involuntary motions, the Laws concerning Women are naturally much more stringent.Not that I should be disposed to recommend (at present) the extreme measures adopted by some States, where an infant whose angle deviates by half a degree from the correct angularity is summarily destroyed at birth.Soon, they began to insist that inasmuch as Colour, which reading blue coats was a second Nature, had destroyed the need of aristocratic distinctions, the Law should follow in the same path, and that henceforth all individuals and all classes should be recognized as absolutely equal and entitled to equal rights.For this reason, among our Higher Classes, Feeling is discouraged or absolutely forbidden.Bear in mind the decay of Sight Recognition which threatened society at the time of the Colour Revolt add too the certainty that Women would speedily learn to shade off their extremities so as to imitate the Circles it must then be surely obvious to you, my dear Reader, that the Colour Bill placed reading blue coats us under a great danger of confounding a Priest with a young Woman.Twelve inches may be regarded as a maximum.The tact and skill which suffice to avert a Woman's sting are unequal to the task of stopping a Woman's mouth and as the wife has absolutely nothing to say, and absolutely no constraint of wit, sense, or conscience to prevent her from saying it, not a few cynics have been found to aver that reading blue coats they prefer the danger of the death dealing but inaudible sting to the safe sonorousness of a Woman's other end.When her side is turned towards us, we see her as a straight line when the end containing her eye or mouth for with us these two organs are identical is the part that meets our eye, then we see nothing but a highly lustrous point but when the back is presented to our view, then being only sub lustrous, and, indeed, almost as dim as an inanimate object her hinder extremity serves her as a kind of Invisible Cap.Consequently, Nature herself supplies us with an reading blue coats ascending scale or Alphabet of angles for half a degree up to 60 degrees, Specimens of which are placed in every Elementary School throughout the land.The result was that in the next generation the family brain was registered at only 58 degrees, and not till the lapse of five generations was the lost ground recovered, the full 60 degrees attained, and the Ascent from the Isosceles finally achieved.Doubtless, the life of an Irregular is hard but the interests of the Greater Number require that reading blue coats it shall be hard.If Fog were non existent, all lines would appear equally and indistinguishably clear and this is actually the case in those unhappy countries in which the atmosphere is perfectly dry and transparent.
