'There I agree with you,' said Socrates. 'Yet if these difficulties induce you to give up universal ideas, what becomes ...

It was not more than a day or two at the furthest after pointing her prow for her island haven, that the Town-Ho's leak seemed again increasing, but only so as to require an hour or more at the pumps every day.
