Madam How and Lady Why

CHAPTER X--FIELD AND WILD
30/40

I eat, and drink, and sleep, just as dogs and cats do.
Yes.

There is no denying that.

No one knew that better than St.Paul when he told men that they had a flesh; that is, a body, and an animal's nature in them.

But St.Paul told them--of course he was not the first to say so, for all the wise heathens have known that--that there was something more in us, which he called a spirit.

Some call it now the moral sentiment, some one thing, some another, but we will keep to the old word: we shall not find a better.
Yes, I know that I have a spirit, a soul.
Better to say that you are a spirit.
