Excerpt from A Midsummer Madness Medhurst was sensible enough to take this advice, although he liked neither the tone nor the matter of it. It would have pleased him to be independent of the common lot. If he could not act a striking part on the stage of the world he would have preferred to sit in the boxes, a critical or indifferent specta tor. However, egoistic claims of an extravagant kind are not so unusual that the general system of the universe is overturned to make way for them, and so far in his career Medhurst had been compelled to obey puppet-strings of another man's pulling. He would have liked to humor his own vanity by pre tending to hesitate over Mr. Haxtoun's Offer but then declared to himself that he was a fool, and accepted it at once. Like everything else that had happened to him for years, it was altogether remote from his actual scheme of life; but every man has a destiny allotted to him, and Medhurst had almost come to believe that his was to do nothing he had ever counted on.
