In family rhomboids, for instance, mother loves the children and father does not, or father does, but does not love mother, or father and mother love each other and the children do not get their share; it is impossible to enumerate all the little geometrical peculiarities which keep a rhomboid from being a circle, but one person can just "stand out" enough to spoil the shape, or put hands behind back and refuse to join at all. About the ugliest thing in the universe is that non joining habit! IN FAMILY ROMBOIDS FOR INSTANCE MOTHER LOVES THE CHILDREN AND FATHER DOES NOT OR FATHER DOES BUT DOES NOT LOVE MOTHER OR FATHER AND MOTHER LOVE EACH OTHER AND THE CHILDREN DO NOT GET THEIR SHARE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ENUMERATE ALL THE LITTLE GEOMETRICAL PECULIARITIES WHICH KEEP A REMBOY FROM BEING A CIRCLE BUT ONE PERSON CAN JUST STAND OUT ENOUGH TO SPOIL THE SHAPE OR PUT HANDS BEHIND BACK AND REFUSE TO JOIN AT ALL ABOUT THE UGLIEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE IS THAT NON JOINING HABIT
blongs pulled askew, known as rhomboids, these and other geometrical figures abound, but circles are comparatively few. In a true family circle a father and a mother first clasp each other's hands, liking well to be thus clasped; then they stretch out a hand on either side, and these are speedily grasped by children, who hold one another firmly, and complete the ring. One child is better than nothing, a great deal better than nothing; it is at least an effort in the right direction, but the circle that ensues is not, even then, a truly nice shape. You can stand as handsomely as ever you like, but it simply won't "come round." The minute that two, three, four, five, join in, the "roundness" grows, and the merriment too, and the laughter, and the power to do things. (Responsibility and care also, but what is the use of discouraging circles when there are not enough of them anyway?) The Carey family circle had been round and complete, with love and harmony between all its component parts. ES OBLONGS AND PARTICULARLY THOSE OBLONGS PULLED ASKEW KNOWN AS RAMBOIDS THESE AND OTHER GEOMETRICAL FIGURES ABOUND BUT CIRCLES ARE COMPARATIVELY FEW IN A TRUE FAMILY CIRCLE A FATHER AND A MOTHER FIRST CLASP EACH OTHER'S HANDS LIKING WELL TO BE THUS CLASPED THEN THEY STRETCH OUT A HAND TO EITHER SIDE AND THESE ARE SPEEDILY GRASPED BY CHILDREN WHO HOLD ONE ANOTHER FIRMLY AND COMPLETE THE RING ONE CHILD IS BETTER THAN NOTHING A GREAT DEAL BETTER THAN NOTHING IT IS AT LEAST AN EFFORT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT THE CIRCLE THAT ENSUES IS NOT EVEN THEN A TRULY NICE SHAPE YOU CAN STAND AS HANDSOMELY AS EVER YOU LIKE BUT IT SIMPLY WON'T BECOME ROUND THE MINUTE THAT TWO THREE FOUR FIVE JOIN IN THE ROUNDNESS GROWS AND THE MERRIMENT ALSO AND THE LAUGHTER AND THE POWER TO DO THINGS RESPONSIBILITY AND CARE ALSO BUT WHAT IS THE USE OF DISCOURAGING CIRCLES WHEN THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM ANYWAY THE CAREY FAMILY CIRCLE HAD BEEN ROUND AND COMPLETE WITH LOVE AND HARMONY BETWEEN ALL ITS COMPONENT PARTS
