A man may live to be as old as Methuselah, said Mr. Filer, and may labour all his life for the benefit of such people as those; and may heap up facts on figures, facts on figures, facts on figures, mountains high and dry; and he can no more hope to persuade em that they have no right or business to be married, than he can hope to persuade em that they have no earthly right or business to be born. And that we know they havent. We reduced it to a mathematical certainty long ago!
