Synopsis

Excerpt from Books and Things

Cialty, surely. Those eyes, hard and cold al though they can stare, on occasion, are evidently accustomed to liberal prospects. A habit of speaking to a listening world, from that part of his intellect which most resembles his heart, has saved his didactic lips from any such look of petulance as blind nature half intended them to wear. Perhaps his specialty is the future. Yes, that must be it. Mr. Sargent has shown us a Professor of the Future, whom a delegation from the present, the coarse present in which things are every day either done or left undone, has interrupted. When the present has picked up its hat and bowed itself out he will be relieved to be left alone again with the future.
