(Responsibility and care also, but what is the use of discouraging circles when there are not enough of them anyway?) RESPONSIBILITY AND CARE ALSO BUT WHAT IS THE USE OF DISCOURAGING CIRCLES WHEN THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH OF THEM ANYWAY
thought if it were it would be a great help to God. V HOW ABOUT JULIA? We often speak of a family circle, but there are none too many of them. Parallel lines never meeting, squares, triangles, oblongs, and particularly those oblongs 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.
