'If I were only a _man!_' I exclaimed, discontentedly, 'I would be off to the war and distinguish myself; but a woman is good for nothing but to be insignificant.'
'The works of a watch are 'insignificant,' in one sense,' observed my companion; 'but what would the watch he without them?'
'I do not see any application in this case,' I replied, indifferently.
'A woman,' said he, bending down to adjust some papers, 'is often the Miriam and Aaron of some Moses whose hands need holding up. Many a bullet that finds the heart of an enemy is sent, not by the hand that pulls the trigger, but by a softer hand miles away. Something, or rather some _one_, to work for, is an incentive to great deeds.'
Mr. Summers's face was flushed; and he looked suddenly up when he had done speaking.
I withdrew my eyes in confusion, and, with the careless remark, 'Mrs. Partington would tell you that you were speaking paregorically,' I left a place that was getting entirely too hot to hold me.
