Sweny and Co (Limited), dispensing chemists, when, when
Frederick M. (Bantam) Lyons had rapidly and successively
requested, perused and restituted the copy of the current
issue of the Freeman’s Journal and National Press which he
had been about to throw away (subsequently thrown away),
he had proceeded towards the oriental edifice of the Turkish
and Warm Baths, 11 Leinster street, with the light of inspi-
ration shining in his countenance and bearing in his arms
the secret of the race, graven in the language of prediction.
What qualifying considerations allayed his perturbations?
The difficulties of interpretation since the significance of
any event followed its occurrence as variably as the acoustic
report followed the electrical discharge and of counteresti-
mating against an actual loss by failure to interpret the total
sum of possible losses proceeding originally from a success-
ful interpretation.
His mood?
He had not risked, he did not expect, he had not been
disappointed, he was satisfied.
What satisfied him?
To have sustained no positive loss. To have brought a
positive gain to others. Light to the gentiles.

He poured into two teacups two level spoonfuls, four in
all, of Epps’s soluble cocoa and proceeded according to the
directions for use printed on the label, to each adding after
sufficient time for infusion the prescribed ingredients for
diffusion in the manner and in the quantity prescribed.
