Rh before us. So while other employers in other cases may raise free exercise arguments that merit careful consideration, none of the employers before us today represent in this Court that compliance with Title VII will infringe their own religious liberties in any way.

Some of those who supported adding language to Title VII to ban sex discrimination may have hoped it would derail the entire Civil Rights Act. Yet, contrary to those intentions, the bill became law. Since then, Title VII’s effects have unfolded with far-reaching consequences, some likely beyond what many in Congress or elsewhere expected.

But none of this helps decide today’s cases. Ours is a society of written laws. Judges are not free to overlook plain statutory commands on the strength of nothing more than suppositions about intentions or guesswork about expectations. In Title VII, Congress adopted broad language making it illegal for an employer to rely on an employee’s sex when deciding to fire that employee. We do not hesitate to recognize today a necessary consequence of that legislative choice: An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law.

The judgments of the Second and Sixth Circuits in Nos. 17–1623 and 18–107 are affirmed. The judgment of the Eleventh Circuit in No. 17–1618 is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. It is so ordered.

 bright, wakeful eye of command—I have known all these surrender themselves to the really magic-like influence of other people's minds; their language at first is, that they are "staggered;" leading you by that expression to suppose that they had been witnesses to some phenomenon, which it was very difficult to account for, otherwise than by supernatural causes, but when 1 have questioned further, I have always found that these "staggering" wonders were not even specious enough to be looked upon as good "tricks." A man in England, who gained his whole livelihood as a conjuror, would soon be starved to death if he could perform no better miracles than those which are wrought with so much effect in Syria and Egypt; sometimes, no doubt, a magician will make a good hit (Sir Robert once said "a good thing"), but all such successes range, of course, under the head of mere "tentative miracles," as distinguished by the strong-brained Paley.

 Rh enough to pay for a drink. 'What need have you of money?' he says. He needs money, but asks of what use it is to me! He owns a house and cattle and has everything he wants. But what have I? Nothing but the clothes which I have on. He makes his own bread, but I have to buy mine. It costs me three rubles every week. When I get home all the bread will be gone, and I will have to pay out a ruble and a half for more. Let him return me what he owes me."

Thus talking to himself, Simeon reached a turn in the road, near which stood a chapel. As he glanced toward the rear of the building he thought he saw some white object moving. Owing to the darkness he was unable to distinguish what it was. What could it be? He had passed that way many times before, but he could not remember having seen a tombstone there. Then he thought that perhaps it was a cow which had gone in there to graze. But still, on looking again, he decided that it

The system of equations (9), (10) and (11) should serve to resolve small fluctuations in the air mass in the absence external forces. It is remarkable, however, that for any temperature distribution the functions $$u,v,w,s$$ can be excluded from equations (9), (10) and (11). In fact, by differentiating the first of the equations (9) by $$x$$, the second by $$y$$, the third by $$z$$, adding and taking into account equation (11), we find

Once the function $$q$$ is found as the integral of this equation, the functions $$u,v,w$$ can easily be determined from equation (9).

 16 could not be. It looked more like a human form, but he was sorely puzzled to account for its being all in white, and then he wondered what a man would be doing there. As he approached nearer he could see more distinctly, and lo! he beheld the figure of a man. It was in a sitting posture, motionless, and leaning toward the chapel; but whether it was dead or alive he was unable to perceive. The shoemaker was almost paralyzed with fear as he thought: "Perhaps this man has been murdered by some one, robbed of his clothes, and left here to perish. If I should go near him I may get myself into trouble."

So Simeon passed him by, and when he reached the rear of the chapel he could no longer see him. Going further, however, he looked around and saw that the apparition had moved a short distance from the chapel and appeared to be gazing about. This made the shoemaker still more frightened, and he hesitated as to whether it were better to go to him or to continue on

N the days of the Emperor Go-Reizei, there was a holy priest living in the temple of Saito, on the mountain called Hiyei-Zan, near Kyōto. One summer day this good priest, after a visit to the city, was returning to his temple by way of Kita-no-Ōji, when he saw some boys ill-treating a kite. They had caught the bird in a snare, and were beating it with sticks. “Oh, the poor creature!” compassionately exclaimed

Page:In ghostly Japan (IA cu31924014202687).pdf/238

 the priest;—“why do you torment it so, children?” One of the boys made answer:—“We want to kill it to get the feathers.” Moved by pity, the priest persuaded the boys to let him have the kite in exchange for a fan that he was carrying; and he set the bird free. It had not been seriously hurt, and was able to fly away.

Happy at having performed this Buddhist act of merit, the priest then resumed his walk. He had not proceeded very far when he saw a strange monk come out of a bamboo-grove by the roadside, and hasten towards him. The monk respectfully saluted him, and said:—“Sir, through your compassionate kindness my life has been saved; and I now desire to express my gratitude in a fitting manner.” Astonished at hearing himself thus addressed, the priest replied:—“Really, I cannot remember to have ever seen you before: please tell me who you are.” “It is not wonderful that you cannot recognize me in this form,” returned the monk: “I am the kite that those cruel boys were tormenting at Kita-no-Ōji. You saved my life; and there is nothing in this world more precious than life. So I now wish to return your kindness in some way or

 Rh his way and leave him to his fate. To approach him, thought Simeon, might be dangerous, for who knows what manner of man he might be? He said to himself: "There must be something wrong with him or he would not be there. If I should go near him he may want to fight me—perhaps spring upon me and choke me to death before I could escape. What should I do when I meet a naked man?" said the shoemaker, finally, in despair. "Shall I take off my last cloak and give it to him? Oh, God! let this thing pass from me."

The shoemaker quickened his steps, leaving the chapel behind him; but his conscience was smitten with remorse, and he stood still on the road.

"What are you doing, Simeon?" he exclaimed, clutching at his hair. "The man is in distress and may be dying, and you, mean coward, intend to pass him by! Or have you suddenly become rich, that you are in fear of being robbed? Oh, Sim [diminutive of Simeon], it is disgraceful!"

returned to the man, and on investigation found him to be young and powerful. While there were no bruises on his body, he was trembling and seemed stunned, as if from fear. He was sitting near the wall of the chapel, and appeared too feeble even to raise his eyes to look at the stranger who approached him. As Simeon came near the man suddenly awoke, and, turning his head, gazed earnestly upon him. The expression of his face pleased Simeon very much, and, throwing the old felt shoes on the ground, he unbuttoned his coat, and, taking it off, he handed it to the man, saying: "This is no time for talking. Put on the kaftan at once!"

The shoemaker then took the man by the

 other. If there be anything that you would like to have, or to know, or to see,—anything that I can do for you, in short,—please to tell me; for as I happen to possess, in a small degree, the Six Supernatural Powers, I am able to gratify almost any wish that you can express.” On hearing these words, the priest knew that he was speaking with a Tengu; and he frankly made answer:—“My friend, I have long ceased to care for the things of this world: I am now seventy years of age;—neither fame nor pleasure has any attraction for me. I feel anxious only about my future birth; but as that is a matter in which no one can help me, it were useless to ask about it. Really, I can think of but one thing worth wishing for. It has been my life-long regret that I was not in India in the time of the Lord Buddha, and could not attend the great assembly on the holy mountain Gridhrakûta. Never a day passes in which this regret does not come to me, in the hour of morning or of evening prayer. Ah, my friend! if it were possible to conquer Time and Space, like the Bodhisattvas, so that I could look upon that marvellous assembly, how happy should I be!”—“Why,” the Tengu exclaimed, “that pious wish of yours can easily be satisfied. I perfectly

 Rh arm and tried to lift him up. He succeeded after an effort in getting him on his feet, when he saw that he had a white, slender body, that his hands and feet were not injured, and that the expression of his face was very pleasant. Simeon placed the kaftan about the man's shoulders, and, finding that he was unable to help himself, he put it on for him, buttoned it, and adjusted the girdle round his waist. The shoemaker took off his hat also to give to the man, but, feeling the cold wind blowing on his bald pate, he thought: "I have no hair, while his head is covered with long ringlets." So Simeon replaced his hat on his head, remarking, "I had better put the old felt shoes on him."

The shoemaker asked the stranger to be seated while he adjusted the shoes on his feet, and after dressing him he said:

"Well, my brother, let us first make ourselves warm. As to the misfortune which has over-taken you, we shall discuss that afterward. Are you able to move?"

 well remember the assembly on the Vulture Peak; and I can cause everything that happened there to reappear before you, exactly as it occurred. It is our greatest delight to represent such holy matters. … Come this way with me!”

And the priest suffered himself to be led to a place among pines, on the slope of a hill. “Now,” said the Tengu, “you have only to wait here for awhile, with your eyes shut. Do not open them until you hear the voice of the Buddha preaching the Law. Then you can look. But when you see the appearance of the Buddha, you must not allow your devout feelings to influence you in any way;—you must not bow down, nor pray, nor utter any such exclamation as, ‘Even so, Lord!’ or ‘O thou Blessed One?’ You must not speak at all. Should you make even the least sign of reverence, something very unfortunate might happen to me.” The priest gladly promised to follow these injunctions; and the Tengu hurried away as if to prepare the spectacle.

The day waned and passed, and the darkness came; but the old priest waited patiently beneath a tree, keeping his eyes closed. At last a voice suddenly resounded above him,—a wonderful

20 The man stood looking affectionately at Simeon, but seemed unable to utter a word.

"Why don't you speak?" asked Simeon. "If we stay here any longer we shall freeze. We must try to reach a place of shelter at once. Here, take my walking-stick if you are weak, and come along as quickly as you can."

The man obeyed, stepping lightly after the shoemaker. As they walked along the road, Simeon inquired of his companion:

"Who are you?"

"I am a stranger and do not belong here," was the reply.

"I thought I knew all my neighbors," said Simeon; "but how does it happen that I found you, a stranger, near the chapel?"

"It is impossible for me to tell you."

"Perhaps somebody has abused you?"

"Oh, no! No man has hurt me. I am being punished by God."

"Well, all things are done by God; but you must have had an object incoming here. What

 Rh is your destination? Where I go it matters not to me."

As Simeon talked with the mysterious stranger his surprise continued to increase. He thought to himself: "This does not look like a man bent on mischief. Although he speaks very pleasantly, he refuses to say anything concerning himself. Yet many strange things are happening every day in this wicked world." Then turning to the man he said:

"Well, I will take you to my house, where you can warm yourself and have a good test."

At length Simeon reached his home, with the stranger at his side. The wind was blowing cold, and the shoemaker felt that the effect of the vodki was passing off, for he began to tremble like a leaf. Buttoning his wife's jacket more securely around him, he thought to himself: "This is the fur coat you were going after, and you are returning home without even a kaftan. You are bringing instead a naked man,

This fear of his wife's displeasure worried Simeon very much. But, glancing again at his companion, he remembered the pleasant and kindly looks which he gave him as he stood by the chapel. The recollection filled his heart with happiness and great joy.

 voice, deep and clear like the pealing of a mighty bell,—the voice of the Buddha Sâkyamuni proclaiming the Perfect Way. Then the priest, opening his eyes in a great radiance, perceived that all things had been changed: the place was indeed the Vulture Peak,—the holy Indian mountain Gridhrakûta; and the time was the time of the Sûtra of the Lotos of the Good Law. Now there were no pines about him, but strange shining trees made of the Seven Precious Substances, with foliage and fruit of gems;—and the ground was covered with Mandârava and Manjûshaka flowers showered from heaven;—and the night was filled with fragrance and splendour and the sweetness of the great Voice. And in mid-air, shining as a moon above the world, the priest beheld the Blessed One seated upon the Lion-throne, with Samantabhadra at his right hand, and Mañjusrî at his left,—and before them assembled—immeasurably spreading into Space, like a flood of stars—the hosts of the Mahâsattvas and the Bodhisattvas with their countlessscountless [sic] following: “gods, demons, Nâgas, goblins, men, and beings not human.” Sâriputra he saw, and Kâsyapa, and Ânanda, with all the disciples of the Tathâgata,—and the Kings of the Devas,—and

 the Kings of the Four Directions, like pillars of fire,—and the great Dragon-Kings,—and the Gandharvas and Garudas,—and the Gods of the Sun and the Moon and the Wind,—and the shining myriads of Brahma’s heaven. And incomparably further than even the measureless circling of the glory of these, he saw—made visible by a single ray of light that shot from the forehead of the Blessed One to pierce beyond uttermost Time—the eighteen hundred thousand Buddha-fields of the Eastern Quarter with all their habitants,—and the beings in each of the Six States of Existence,—and even the shapes of the Buddhas extinct, that had entered into Nirvâna. These, and all the gods, and all the demons, he saw bow down before the Lion-throne; and he heard that multitude incalculable of beings praising the Sûtra of the Lotos of the Good Law,—like the roar of a sea before the Lord. Then forgetting utterly his pledge,—foolishly dreaming that he stood in the very presence of the very Buddha,—he cast himself down in worship with tears of love and thanksgiving; crying out with a loud voice, “O thou Blessed One!” …

Instantly with a shock as of earthquake the

 stupendous spectacle disappeared; and the priest found himself alone in the dark, kneeling upon the grass of the mountain-side. Then a sadness unspeakable fell upon him, because of the loss of the vision, and because of the thoughtlessness that had caused him to break his word. As he sorrowfully turned his steps homeward, the goblin-monk once more appeared before him, and said to him in tones of reproach and pain:—“Because you did not keep the promise which you made to me, and heedlessly allowed your feelings to overcome you, the Gohōtendo, who is the Guardian of the Doctrine, swooped down suddenly from heaven upon us, and smote us in great anger, crying out, ‘How do ye dare thus to deceive a pious person?’ Then the other monks, whom I had assembled, all fled in fear. As for myself, one of my wings has been broken,—so that now I cannot fly.” And with these words the Tengu vanished forever.

Thou hast sons growing up like little birds of prey, thy sole desire is to live fatly and get on in the world, and thy savings grow less and less. And wherefore? I'll tell thee: from thy pride. Instead of going out into the fields with thy children to wonk, thou art out hunting down thy enemy.

"That's the thing for thee, Vanya! Listen to me, an old man! Go to, harness thy grey horse, be off straightway to the tribunal, cut short all thy business there, and go in the morning to Gabriel, be reconciled with him as God would have it, and invite him to thy house. To-morrow will be a festival, the Nativity of the Mother of God: put on the table thy little samovar, and a little good spirit, and tear thyself away from all these sins, and let them no more be heard of; and say the same thing to the women and children."

Ivan sighed. He thought to himself: "The old man is right," and his heart quite went out to him, only he did not know how to set about it, he did not know how to make his peace with his neighbour.

And the old man began again, he guessed what was on his mind.

"Go, Vanya, don't put it off. Put out the fire at first; thou wilt not be able to manage it when it burns up."

Then the old man wanted to talk of other things, but he had not said all his say when the women, chattering like starlings, entered the hut. They had heard all about the trial, and how Gabriel had been sentenced to be whipped with birches, and he had threatened to burn Ivan out of house and home. 152

In this case, equations (12) and (9) will be replaced by the following:

§ 5. Study of some particular cases of sound propagation in an unevenly heated medium.

1. Let us first assume that the temperature of the medium decreases uniformly along a certain straight line, and that fluctuations in the air mass occur in the same direction. Let us consider, under these assumptions, the propagation of a plane wave corresponding to the sound of a certain tone.

Since in a quiescent atmosphere the temperature usually decreases with increasing elevation above the earth's surface, and since for heights that are not too significant this decrease can be taken to be proportional to the heights,obviously the particular case under consideration is of particular interest, allowing us to indicate circumstances, which can be accompanied in nature by vertical propagation of sound waves.

It is sheltered from heavy seas by an extraordinary rampart of boulders. This rampart, on the water-side, is built in the form of terrace-steps;—the rounded stones of which it is composed being kept in position by a sort of basket-work woven between rows of stakes driven deeply into the ground,—a separate row of stakes sustaining each of the grades.

Rh They knew everything, and added of their own to what they knew, and had already managed to quarrel again with Gabriel's women-folk as they drove the cattle home. They began to tell how Gabriel's daughter-in-law had threatened them with the magistrate. This magistrate, they said, held a protecting hand over Gabriel. He was now going to quash the proceedings, and the schoolmaster, they said, was going to write another petition to the Tsar himself against Ivan; in this petition everything which had happened was to be set down, and there was all about the tethering-peg, arid the kitchen garden, and half of Ivan's property was to be handed over to Gabriel. Ivan listened to all their chattering, and again his heart grew cold within him, and he began thinking of making it up with Gabriel.

The master of a farm has always a lot to do. Ivan did not talk with the women, but got up, went out of the hut, and went to the barn and stables. By the time he had finished what he had to do there, the bright little sun had disappeared behind the farm, and the children had come home from the fields. They ploughed up the soil twice during the winter for the summer crops. Ivan met them, and began to question them about their work. He lent a hand, helped them to put away things, laid aside a ragged harness for mending, and would even have put the stable-poles to rights, but meanwhile it had grown quite dark. So Ivan left the poles for the morrow, and threw fodder to the cattle, opened the gate and let out Taraska with the horses that they might go along the lane to their night-quarters, and again 153

 marking the place of a temple-court. Seaward, over leagues of water, there is a grand view,—a jagged blue range of peaks crowding sharply into the horizon, like prodigious amethysts,—and beyond them, to the left, the glorious spectre of Fuji, towering enormously above everything. Between sea-wall and sea there is no sand,—only a grey slope of stones, chiefly boulders; and these roll with the surf so that it is ugly work trying to pass the breakers on a rough day. If you once get struck by a stone-wave,—as I did several times,—you will not soon forget the experience.

At certain hours the greater part of this rough slope is occupied by ranks of strange-looking craft,—fishing-boats of a form peculiar to the locality. They are very large,—capable of carrying forty or fifty men each;—and they have queer high prows, to which Buddhist or Shintō charms (mamori or shugo) are usually attached. A common form of Shintō written charm (shugo) is furnished for this purpose from the temple of the Goddess of Fuji: the text reads;—Fuji-san chōjō Sengen-gu dai-gyō manzoku,—meaning that the owner of the boat pledges himself, in case of good-fortune at fishing, to perform great

 austerities in honor of the divinity whose shrine is upon the summit of Fuji.

In every coast-province of Japan,—and even at different fishing-settlements of the same province,—the forms of boats and fishing-implements are peculiar to the district or settlement. Indeed it will sometimes be found that settlements, within a few miles of each other, respectively manufacture nets or boats as dissimilar in type as might be the inventions of races living thousands of miles apart. This amazing variety may be in some degree due to respect for local tradition,—to the pious conservatism that preserves ancestral teaching and custom unchanged through hundreds of years: but it is better explained by the fact that different communities practise different kinds of fishing; and the shapes of the nets or the boats made, at any one place, are likely to prove, on investigation, the inventions of a special experience. The big Yaidzu boats illustrate this fact. They were devised according to the particular requirements of the Yaidzu-fishing-industry, which supplies dried katsuo (bonito) to all parts of the Empire; and it was necessary that they should be able to ride a very rough

And all this time he had forgotten all about Gabriel, and about what his father had said. Only when he was turning the handle of the door and going into the house, he heard behind the fence his neighbour "rowing" someone with a harsh squeaky voice.

"Devil take him," Gabriel was shrieking, "I'll kill him!"

Ivan stopped, stood still, and listened while Gabriel was scolding, then he shook his head and went into the hut.

He went into the hut, in the hut a fire was burning, his young wife was sitting by the fire at her spinning, the old woman was getting supper ready, his eldest son was knitting socks, the second was at the table reading from a little book, Taraska was getting ready to go away for the night.

In the hut everything was bright and good, but for that chilblain of a fellow, the bad neighbour.

Ivan came in grieved, pitched the cat off the bench, and scolded the old woman because the kettle was not in its right place. And Ivan began to feel wretched. He sat down and frowned, and began to work away at the harness, and he could not get out of his head Gabriel's words when he threatened in the court, or the words he had just heard: "I will kill him!" 154

Got it. Do you remember who designated DOJ as the lead Federal agency?

My understanding is only DOJ can make that designation, but—

To themselves?

—I'm not DOJ anymore.

Okay.

Mr. Glabe. Can I ask just one question to go back a minute? You referenced the memo, the Miller memo that's exhibit 51. I think a couple times you called it the January 5th memo, and it's got a January 4 date stamp on it. And I just want to—

It's got a January 4th stamp on it? Is that what you're—

The Witness. Is it two different ones, or is it the same one?

Okay.

Sorry. I misstated the date. Obviously, Mr. Patel, you worked at DOJ, so you're aware that, as you stated in your statement, that the Attorney General was on that call, correct? They're the boss of the Director of the Bureau?

Yeah, I think at the time—what was his name?

That would have been Rosen.

Thank you.

Sure.

Rosen, Mr. Rosen was the Acting Attorney General, I believe. And I don't remember all the phone calls off the top of my head, but what we—the information that the Acting Secretary and the chairman were trying to get from law enforcement was not able to be obtained from the acting AG, just didn't have that level of detail, and that's

A kind of slipway is improvised in a moment by laying flat wooden frames on the slope in a line; and over these frames the flat-bottomed vessels are hauled up or down by means of long ropes. You will see a hundred or more persons thus engaged in moving a single boat,—men, women, and children pulling together, in time to a curious melancholy chant. At the coming of a typhoon, the boats are moved far back into the streets. There is plenty of fun in helping at such work; and if you are a stranger, the fisher-folk will perhaps reward your pains by showing you the wonders of their sea: crabs with legs of astonishing length, balloon-fish that blow themselves up in the most absurd manner, and various other creatures of shapes so extraordinary that you can scarcely believe them natural without touching them.

The big boats with holy texts at their prows are not the strangest objects on the beach. Even more remarkable are the bait-baskets of split bamboo,—baskets six feet high and eighteen feet round, with one small hole in the

wife had got through with her household duties early in the day. She had chopped the wood, brought in the water, and fed the children and herself. Matreona was now lost in thought, for she was meditating as to whether she would prepare the bread that day or the next. She had yet left one good-sized loaf, and thought to herself: "If Simeon shall have had his dinner, and will not eat much supper, we will have enough for to-morrow." Matreona examined the loaf and continued her reverie: "I guess I need not prepare fresh bread to-day. There is left sufficient flour for only one more batch of bread, and we can manage till Friday with what we have."

Putting aside the loaf, she seated herself at the table to mend her husband's shirt. While

36 why we were seeking what the FBI was doing. And I believe, from the best of my recollection, even the Acting AG said that that would be a matter that the FBI would be aware of; I, the Acting AG, am not aware of those details.

But presumably the Acting AG is the head—

Well, he's his boss, but he admitted to us he didn't know what his subordinate was doing.

You remember that on the call?

In sum and substance, yeah. We were looking for specific law enforcement details, including intelligence, and we couldn't—and what law enforcement was doing to prepare and the Acting AG didn't provide, as best as I can recall, those details.

Got it. I want to shift to a meeting that was held at the White House on January 5th. There's no exhibits that go along with this.

Oh, okay.

Unless you want me to print out the Vanity Fair article for you?

If you're going to cite from it, sure, but—

Sure.

—let's see what you're going to do. I don't know.

We'll get those. Do you have a memory of the January 5th meeting at the White House with Secretary Miller?

I have a meeting of—I—excuse me, I have a memory of many meetings at the White House with Secretary—Acting Secretary Miller in and around that time. Sometimes it may have even been twice a day. I just don't know the ins and outs off the top of my head.

This is what—do you remember, I believe few days before, a Vanity Fair reporter was basically embedded with you and Acting Secretary Miller and—

37 Yeah.

—went to all the meetings with you all?

No, no. That's—I don't think that's accurate.

Okay.

So what we did was the Vanity Fair reporter, through our public affairs shop, asked to be embedded for when we went out West to surveil some of our DOD strategic capabilities that were unclassified, and the Department made the decision to allow him to do so. So I don't believe he was in any meetings with us, unless I have it wrong.

I think there was a report of the meetings back, but I can read this for you—

Sure.

—and we'll get it printed for you. According to the Vanity Fair article, the January 5th meeting with President Trump on an Iran issue is what Secretary Miller told the reporter.

Okay.

"But then the conversation switched gears. The President, Miller recalled, asked how many troops the Pentagon planned to turn out the following day."

Oh, okay. And the date of that, the meeting?

January 5th. It was you, Secretary Miller, and President Trump—

Thank you. So just—

—and I believe Mark Meadows.

Sorry. Yeah, I didn't mean to cut you off.

Does that jog your memory?

I believe so, but if I could have the article, and when it's brought in—

Sure.

38 look at it.

According to the article, "We're like, "We're going to provide any National Guard support that the District requests,' Miller responded. And Trump goes, 'You're going to need 10,000 people.' No, I'm not talking bullshit. He said that."

Oh, so you remember stuff like that. So, going off just the memory, and we can go back to the article when you bring it up, there was a meeting with the President of 7 the United States, Acting Secretary Miller, and some others—I can't recall off the top of my head—where we were discussing, as the article states, something related to Iran.

And, in that same meeting, I believe it was on or around January 4th, 3rd, 4th, or 5th, the—as I stated earlier, in order for the Department of Defense's National Guard to be activated in any way we needed Presidential authorization. And President Trump at that—

[Discussion off the record.]

 * BY

Sure. Go ahead.

Okay. And so this question appears to implicate core executive privilege concerns. I'm prepared to answer it, but I want the record to reflect my serious concerns about congressional overreaching of this matter.

So what I remember is that we knew, in order to get the National Guard even mobilized, we needed the President to at least say yes first. So what—my recollection of that meeting is the President preemptively authorized 10 to 20 National Guardsmen and -women around the country—sorry? 10- to 20,000.

Mr. Sofer. You said 10 to 20.

The Witness. Sorry, 10- to 20,000 National Guardsmen and -women to be utilized around the country. The second part of that, of course, would have to be the

 24 Matreona was thus engaged, her thoughts wandered toward Simeon and his purchase of the sheepskins for the coat, when she murmured to herself:

"Perhaps he has been cheated by the sheepskin dealer, as he is not sharp enough for such people. He never cheats any one, and a little child could get the best of him. Eight rubles is a great deal of money. A very fine coat could be purchased for that amount. During last winter we had a hard time to get along without a furcoat. It was impossible to do my washing in the river, or to go anywhere else in the intensely cold weather. He has my jacket on him now, and I am left without anything to wear. He should have returned by this time. Perhaps my angel has gone on the spree."

At this point her meditation was interrupted by the sound of footsteps in the porch. Some one had entered the house, and, putting her needle aside, she went into the hall. She saw

40 [1:05 p.m.]

 * BY :

Okay. Just let me make sure I'm clear with what you are saying. It is your memory that the President authorized to Secretary Miller, understanding the chain of command, 10,000 to 20,000 troops to be on standby? Available? What terminology would you use?

So, legally—and I haven't talked to DOD General Counsel in some time, and 9 a lot of the notes that you provided, the DOD General Counsel exchanges, have been completely redacted. But it's not a standard; it's a legal issue that we have to follow.

If we were going to ever utilize the National Guard—and that's not just during that time; any time, any Secretary of Defense—the President has to authorize, step one. If he doesn't do so, the Governor of State X can ask for 5 or 5 million, and it doesn't matter how many times he asks, the law forbids—my understanding—the Department of Defense from mobilizing the National Guard.

So, under that analysis of the chain of command, what action did Acting Secretary Miller take upon hearing this?

He knew, I believe—and, you know, you can ask Chris, but my take on that was, we had step one of the two-step legal process from the President to say, I am authorizing X if you need it.

So the Secretary of Defense then makes a decision on whether or not requests come in, and, if they are legally satisfied, talk to the DOD General Counsel, then they come in and work out the numbers.

And I think that's what—I believe that's what Acting Secretary Miller took away from that conversation.

41 Let me just finish reading the rest of that paragraph. And I have the article here, but—

Yeah, if you don't mind.

—it says—

Could we get a copy?

Sure.

It states—let me read the full thing—Trump says: You're going to need 10,000 people.

Miller responds: Maybe, but, you know, someone is going to have to ask for it.

Okay.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but, in that exchange, it sounds like that's not an order from the President to Acting Secretary Miller—

Well, I think—

—if the response is, "Maybe, but, you know, someone is going to have to ask for it," meaning "You haven't asked for it, President Trump."

So what I take away from that—

There's the article.

Mr. Sofer. We have it.

Oh, okay.

The Witness. What I take away from that is—I don't know about this issuing orders or not. And having known Acting Secretary Miller and worked for him, was that Acting Secretary Miller—and he'd be the best person to talk to—knew that he needed a Presidential authorization per our communication with DOD General Counsel and their communications with the White House Counsel, that unless the President said X number is authorized, then we could not mobilize any number.

It is a story that has happened to everybody, to your neighbors next door, to your mother and to your father, and to you.

We are all interested in it. We have all been babies and we have all been born, so, of course, we want to know how we came into the world.

It is to tell boys and girls this story that I have written Growing Up.

you came into the world you were a baby, but you had not always been a baby. Before you could be born you had first to grow to be a baby.

That meant a great deal of growing, for when you began your life you were much smaller than you were on the day on which you were born. You were so small that you could hardly have been seen. You were smaller than the tiniest dot that you can make with the sharpest pencil you can find. You were smaller than the little specks that dance in a sunbeam where it comes through the window. You were so small that you did not even seem to be a baby, and you really weren't a baby. You were almost as round as a ball and you looked more like a little egg than like anything else; and that is exactly what you were—a tiny, little egg.

42 So I'm not sure the article is exactly accurate to its verbiage and quoting, but for purposes of this illustration, we'll say it is. And, based on that, I believe Acting Secretary Miller took away that he had one of the two steps satisfied lawfully to mobilize the National Guard if a request was then made by law enforcement or a Governor or a mayor.

. So—

The Witness. It's not a—I don't think it's an order, but that's my estimation.

. Okay. So your perception of this conversation wasn't that it was an order for 10,000—I'll let your attorney finish talking.

[Discussion off the record.]

The Witness. Yeah. As I said earlier, I don't believe that the verbiage in the Vanity Fair article is accurate word for word. But what you're asking, I believe—and tell me if I'm wrong—is whether or not any orders were issued on that day that I can recall.

I don't recall, from the best of my memory, not the article, any orders being issued. But what I recall is authorizations being made for the mobilization of Guard should it be deemed necessary by law enforcement and Governors.

 * BY :

Okay. That's helpful.

Do you remember if the President mentioned anything that he may need these troops to protect the Trump people?

I don't recall him ever saying that.

So, just to take what you said about this not being orders, so was there any action that was taken based upon this conversation as you remember it?

As I remember of what happens when, anytime there's an authorization, as this was, for National Guard from the President of the United States, the chain of command is the Secretary of Defense to the Secretary of the Army. The National Guard

, elephants, dogs, horses, alligators, fish, robins, chickens, frogs all begin their lives in the same way that you did. They start as tiny eggs.

Even trees, carrots, roses, lilies, and other plants grow from eggs, that is, they grow from seeds and the seeds grow from eggs. The poppy seeds, the sunflower seeds, the hollyhock seeds, and the other seeds that we plant in the garden have grown to be seeds from little eggs.

When the eggs of the plants first begin growing they are quite small and one must have very sharp eyes to see them. You will find them in the flowers and the blossoms usually just above where the petals join the stem. Here there is a little place called the ovary, and in the ovary are the eggs.

If you pull the ovary apart very carefully

title: Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/27


text:
Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/28

 you may see tiny bumps growing from its sides. These are the eggs.

Most of the plants you know have each at least one flower, and most of the flowers you know each have at least one ovary. The blossoms of the trees—the apple blossom, the cherry blossom, and all the other blossoms, are the flowers of the trees. At the bottom of the flower or blossom is the little place, called the ovary, which holds the eggs.

The eggs grow until they have become seeds. Then they stop growing. Before they can start growing again they must be placed in the ground. Sometimes we speak of the ground as mother earth. The earth is the great mother in the body of which seeds begin to grow to be plants—flowers, vegetables, trees, and grain.

The water, like the earth, is mother to many growing things. It is here that the eggs of most fish grow up.

If you have eaten shad roe you may have noticed the little round balls, each about as big as the head of a pin. These little balls are the eggs of the shad.

My lady appeared greatly shocked by the situation of Agatha, and directly ordered a physician to be sent for, but Monsieur countermanded this order; he said he had a medical friend in the house, who could do as much for her as any other person in the same line. He was accordingly sent for, and on examining Agatha, he declared her fits were owing to her having eaten something that disagreed with her. Scarcely had he spoken when she came to herself, and opening her eyes, in a hollow voice exclaimed, 'Poison! I am poisoned!'

'Good heavens! (cried Madame D'Alembert starting) what does she say? does she not say she is poisoned?'

Mademoiselle, I fear he is but a bad christian']—I insist, therefore, (continued he) that not a servant in this castle shall go for father Bertrand, except they choose immediately to be dismissed my service.' Like my poor lady, none of us durst disobey him, he took care indeed that we should not, by continuing to watch us: In a little time Agatha relapsed, and died in a few minutes. She had scarcely breathed her last, ere she turned quite black and swelled to a great size; and, notwithstanding what my master and my master's friend says, we are all, that is, I mean, all the servants are of opinion, that she was poisoned; though how, or by whom, we cannot possibly conceive, as

 world even earlier, the mother shad leaves the ocean where she lives and swims up one of the rivers that empties into it. She swims sometimes for more than one hundred miles until she has left the salt water behind her and has

reached the fresh water as it flows toward the sea. There she finds a place where the stream is shallow and quiet and where the sun takes the chill from the water. Here she lays her eggs. They have been staying in her ovaries—she has two ovaries—just as the eggs of the plants stay in the ovaries of the flowers. But,

title: Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/31

Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/32

 instead of being placed in the ground like the seeds, the eggs of the shad are sent into the water by the mother through an opening underneath her body.

After the shad has laid her eggs she swims away and forgets all about them. From four to seven days later each egg has become something that looks very much like a tiny fish, and in three or four weeks it has grown to be a little shad, about an inch long, which can swim about and take care of itself.

Birds and chickens grow from eggs like the fish and the plants, but instead of growing in the water or in the ground they grow in a nest. The hen has an ovary in her body. There the egg stays until the time comes for it to be laid. Then it moves down through a long pipe or tube, growing a little bit as it goes, and passes out of the hen through an opening under her tail feathers, and drops into the nest.

The hen keeps the egg warm by sitting on the nest and the egg begins to grow very fast. In three weeks it has become a tiny chick which breaks the shell that once protected the egg and comes out into the nest, a fuzzy little fellow.

 This is the way in which robins and sparrows and other birds are born.—The dog, the elephant, the mouse, and the other four-legged animals grow from eggs but

they do not grow in the ground or in the water. They grow up in the nest but the nest is not in the trees or in the bushes or in the grass. It is in the body of the mother. When the egg leaves the ovary it does not pass out of the mother. It goes close by into a little bag, called the uterus. The uterus is the nest in which the egg grows

 to be a mouse or an elephant or a dog or whatever other animal the mother happens to be.

This, also, is the way in which human babies grow. The eggs from which they come stay in Ovaries just as the eggs of the plants and of the fish and the birds and the four-legged animals do. Every baby's mother has two ovaries inside her body. They are very small, not much thicker than her thumbs.

When the egg leaves its ovary it goes into the bag or nest, called the uterus. Sometimes the uterus is called the womb. It is near the ovaries, and is in the very middle of the body of the baby's mother but quite low down, even below where the stomach is. It is here that the egg grows to be a baby.

What better place could there be in which to growe. The seeds in the ground can be disturbed by anybody who digs into the flower beds. The eggs in the water can be washed ashore and hurt in storms, and you have often seen birds' eggs that have been broken by being blown out of the nest. But nothing like this can happen to the egg that is growing to be a baby.

"My master has insisted, (cried Floretta) upon our making no comment, at least no public comments on it; he declares if we do, he will have us severely punished. Poor Agatha, poor soul, there is nobody regrets her more than I do, though we had many little tiffs together; she was so good-natured and used to make me such a number of pretty little presents in the course of the year; if ever I wanted any thing nice, nice sweetmeats, or nice cordials, I had nothing to do but to ask her for them.

43 reports to the Secretary of the Army, as does the commanding general of the National Guard.

That information was then, from my memory, taken and given to Secretary McCarthy, who was the Secretary of the Army, so that he would know that if—because that's where the two points meet. That's where the two authorizations meet. The Presidential authorization meets the authorization from the field. The Mayor, in this case, would call Secretary McCarthy and say, I need—and I'm making up numbers—1,000 guardsmen and -women for X, Y, and Z.

Secretary of the Army McCarthy would then know, I'm authorized up to 20,000; I can go ahead and mobilize that once I get the okay from the Secretary of Defense.

Got it.

Do you remember if General Milley was at this conversation?

Sorry. Which one?

The January 5th, this conversation regarding the 10,000 troops.

To the best of my memory, we usually were in those Oval Office meetings with a number of folks, so it was a—he could've been. I just don't recall.

Do you recall a request for 10,000 troops by President Trump ever being conveyed to Speaker Pelosi?

Did I do it to Speaker Pelosi?

Did you or do you know if anyone—

I don't believe I ever said that. But, from the best of my memory, there were calls on January 6 between leadership, which I was privy to, and the Speaker. It may have come up. We fielded a lot of calls that day from congressional leadership.

an egg can become an animal or a plant it must be helped to start growing. It cannot start by itself.

The little eggs in the ovaries of the flowers would wither and die if something that we call pollen did not join them and help them to become seeds.

Pollen is the yellow powder that you sometimes find on the tip of your nose after you have tried to smell a snapdragon or a dandelion or a lily. Nearly every flower has pollen.

The next time you see an Easter lily look at it carefully and you will notice, growing out of the middle of the flower, a tall thread or stem. This stem leads to the ovary of the lily. It is called the pistil. Growing up around the pistil but not quite so tall as it is are six threads or

title: Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/41


text:
Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/42

 stems. On the top of each of these stems is a little lump of pollen.

Pollen is usually yellow. It is so light that it scarcely weighs anything at all. A tiny puff of wind can blow it away. It sticks to whatever touches it just as flour does. If an insect comes too near the pollen it is almost sure to get some of it on its body.

There is a certain kind of moth that is very fond of visiting the Easter lily. When this moth flies into the lily it brushes against the, pollen and the pollen sticks to its shoulders. Then when the moth visits another lily it carries the pollen with it. As it enters this lily it passes the tall pistil that leads to the ovary. The top of the pistil is sticky and it catches some of the pollen from the body of the moth.

No sooner does the pollen reach the top of the pistil than it begins to grow. The pistil is hollow. From each grain of pollen a tiny thread grows down through the pistil into the ovary of the lily. There are the little eggs. Into each egg a thread from a grain of pollen goes and becomes a part of the egg, and the egg

"Poor Agatha! (said Madeline) she little thought she would have followed her dear lady so soon."

"True, Mademoiselle, (cried Floretta) but you look faint, let me give you a glass of wine?"

"First tell me (said Madeline, on whose agitated mind the dreadful idea of poison dwelt) first tell me, (said she, starting up) where or from whom did you procure this wine?"

"Lord bless me, Mademoiselle, (cried Floretta) how you frighten me by your looks; why, I stole it from the butler."

"Well, since you got it from him, I will take some of it, (cried Madeline.) She felt her spirits somewhat revived by doing so, and she then expressed her hopes that Floretta would stay with her till Madame D'Alembert came.

Tis quite out of my power to stay till then, (said Floretta, instantly rising, as if the

 and the pollen together start growing to be a seed.

This is how the eggs of the flowers and the blossoms begin growing. The wind, or the bees and the butterflies and the moths and other insects, carry the pollen from one flower or blossom to another flower or blossom—from one lily to another lily, from one rose to another rose, and so on. As soon as a grain of pollen touches the top of the pistil it starts growing down through it into the ovary where it enters one of the little eggs and becomes part of it. The pollen and the egg together form the seed. By itself the pollen could not grow to be a seed. The egg needs the pollen and the pollen needs the egg. It is when they join together that they begin to grow to be a seed.

There are some flowers which have only pollen and there are some flowers which have only eggs, but most flowers have both pollen and eggs. Almost always the pollen that joins the eggs comes from another flower—that is, from another flower of the same kind. The flower from which the pollen goes might be called the

 very idea of doing so had terrified her) I must go, in order to watch for an opportunity for my lady to come to you."

"Hasten her to me I conjure you, (cried Madeline) as she followed Floretta to the door to lock it after her.

"O that I was out of this house, (exclaimed Madeline, as she turned from the door), danger and death surround me on every side."

She feared that Madame D'Alembert would oppose her quitting it, she feared she could not entreat her permission to do so without betraying in some degree the motive which prompted that entreaty. Impressed with terror, she knelt before a large crucifix near the head of the bed, and fervently implored the protection of heaven. As she prayed she was suddenly startled by the creaking of the closet door: she turned her head with quickness towards it, and beheld it half open; and the horror of that moment can better be conceived than described; a man whose face was

 father, and the flower to which the pollen is carried might be called the mother, so that every seed can be said to have had a mother and a father.

There is something like pollen that starts the eggs of animals growing. This is a very little creature with a very long name. The name is spermatazoon. We shall call it sperm. The sperm is like an animal. It can move. It looks a little bit like the pollywogs that you see in brooks and ponds in the springtime. It seems to be all head and tail, a round little head or body and a very, very, long tail. The sperm is much smaller than the eggs. It is so tiny that you would not be able to see one sperm alone no matter how sharp your eyes might be.

But although one sperm by itself is too small to be seen it is possible for you to see what one million or more sperms crowded together look like. The next time you have fish for dinner ask your mother whether you cannot watch while the fish is split open and cleaned and prepared for cooking. You will find inside the fish either the roe with its thousands of little eggs or some

 shaded by a large hat leaning from it, and earnestly regarding her.

That the murderers of Agatha had by some means or other discovered her concealment, and from the garden had entered, through the closet window, with an intention of destroying her, was the dreadful idea which instantly started to her mind: all power of voice and motion forsook her, and straining an eye of agony and horror on the terrifying stranger, she still continued kneeling: in this situation she remained for about two minutes, when a soft tap came to the chamber door, the stranger hastily retreated, and shut the closet door; Madeline with a scream of mingled joy and terror then started from the ground, and flying to the door opened it and beheld Madame D'Alembert and Floretta.

Madeline fell upon the neck of the former, but for many minutes could only give vent to her feelings by sobs and broken sentences.

 thing that looks like the roe but which is smoother and softer. This is the milt. It is a kind of jelly with millions of sperms in it.

The fish in which you find the eggs or roe is the mother fish. The fish in which you find the sperms or milt is the father fish. It is the milt or sperms of the father fish that starts the eggs of the mother fish growing.

When the mother or roe shad swims away from the ocean and up into the fresh water she does not swim alone. Hundreds of other roe shad swim with her. The roe shad swim until they find the father or buck shad, hundreds of which have gone up the river ahead of them. Then from an opening underneath her body each mother shad sends her eggs into the water. The father shad swims immediately after her and sends out over the eggs a liquid that looks very much like skimmed milk. It is alive with sperms that are too small to be seen.

As soon as a sperm meets an egg it swims right into it. The tail of the sperm drops off and stays outside the egg, but the rest of the sperm joins with the egg just as the pollen from one

 flower joins the egg of another flower, and together the egg and the sperm start growing to be a baby fish.

Some fish hollow out little nests in the bottom of rivers and other waters and in these nests they start their eggs growing.

With sun fish it is the father who makes the nest. He finds a sandy spot in shallow water. He pushes and pulls the bigger pebbles to the outside of the nest and sweeps it clean with his fins. Looking into the stream you would then see a little scooped out place. This is where the baby sun fish will be hatched.

The father fish now swims away to find a female or roe sun fish. His body becomes brighter as if to attract the roe fish. When he meets one he swims about her inviting her to follow him. They go to the nest. When they reach it they swim toward each other stopping just over the nest. Their bodies touch each other and as they do so the mother sun fish sends the eggs into the water and the father fish sends out the sperms. The sperms join the eggs and the baby fish start growing.

"Heaven defend us! (cried Floretta, instantly retreating towards the gallery) what did you see within the closet, Mademoiselle?"

"Nothing to alarm her, I am sure," said Madame D'Alembert.

"Nothing to alarm her!" repeated Madeline emphatically.

"No, (cried Madame D'Alembert) every avenue to that closet is secured; tis therefore impossible any one could have entered it without your knowledge; your imagination affected by the gloom of your apartment has deceived you."

"Good heaven! Madam, (exclaimed Madeline) would you try to make me disbelieve my senses?"

 "To prove how certain I am they have been deceived, I will search the closet myself," said Madame D'Alembert, advancing as she spoke into the chamber.

Madame D'Alembert made no reply, but disengaging herself, she directly went to the closet, and flinging open the door, exclaimed,

"Come, see whether or not I have been mistaken."

Madeline approached her with trembling steps, and to her infinite amazement beheld there was no creature or trace of any creature within the closet.

"I am astonished indeed, (said she) but mysterious as was the entrance or disappearance of any person, that I saw some person is beyond a doubt."

 The father fish then usually drives the mother fish away and it is he who watches over the eggs until the little fish are hatched.

For the sperm to join the egg in the water is not the safest way to start a baby growing. There must be many eggs and many sperms that do not meet, and if they do not meet almost immediately the sperms die, for the sperms cannot live in the water longer than three minutes.

The sperms of chickens and other birds are less likely to be lost than are the sperms of fish. The rooster places them inside the body of the hen where nothing can harm them and where they can easily find the eggs. If you have ever lived on a farm you may have seen the rooster doing this, but if you did not understand what was happening you may have thought that the rooster and the hen were fighting.

The rooster flies up on the back of the hen. While he is there an opening under his tail feathers touches an opening under the tail feathers of the hen. The rooster can then send the sperms into the body of the hen without the same danger of losing them that the shad

title: Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/53

Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/54

 face when they send their sperms into the water.

As soon as the sperms have left the rooster they go up through the hen until they meet the egg as it leaves the ovary. The hard shell which we must break when we eat an egg has not yet formed about it and one of the sperms—only one—succeeds in entering the egg. The tail of the sperm drops off and stays outside but the rest of the sperm joins the egg. The egg with the help of the sperm now starts growing, and if, after it is laid, it is kept warm it will keep on growing, until it has become a little chicken.

The dog, the lion, the horse, the pig place their sperms in the body of the mother in much the same way that the rooster does but the sperms instead of going through an opening as they do with the rooster pass from these animals through a little pipe or tube that is on the outside of the body. This little pipe or tube is called the penis. When the male animal sends the sperms to the female he seems to be trying to climb on to her back. As he does this the penis fits into an opening in her body. This is the opening of what we call the vagina,

 "What kind of person, Mademoiselle?" asked Floretta.

Madeline, as clearly as she could, described him; but was hurt to find Madame D'Alembert still appeared incredulous.

"You see, (said she) that the window, the only way by which any person could have entered the closet, is secured within side."

"I see it is, (cried Madeline) I must therefore only suppose that it was a being of the other world I saw."

"No, no, my dear Madeline, (said Madame D'Alembert) I am sure you have too much sense to be superstitious."

"Ah! Madame, (replied Madeline) I should not wonder if my reason was impaired by the shocks I have lately received.—Wonder not, (she continued) if I declare I can no longer remain in this apartment. Oh! dearest Madam, be not surprised if I entreat your permission to return to my father; he

 and it is through the vagina of the mother that the sperms go when they leave the father.

While the sperms are still living in the male animal they stay in two oval shaped places called testicles. The testicles are held in a little bag outside the body and under the penis. It is also through the penis that the urine or waste water passes.

The sperms of men, like those of the four-legged animals, live in two testicles in a little bag under the penis. The father places the sperms in the body of the mother in very much the same way that the four-legged animals do, only the mother and father can lie together facing each other. The penis then fits into the vagina of the mother which has its own opening underneath the opening for the urine or waste water.

When the sperms leave the father they are in a liquid, called semen that is a little thicker than milk and that looks something like milk. The

 wishes to see me; and who can wonder if I sigh to see him?"

"Unkind Madeline, (said Madame D'Alembert, shedding tears) will you then leave me? Will you disappoint the hopes I entertained of enjoying your society whilst I continued at the chateau? Your father, you must remember, in his last letter, assured you he did not expect, nay, he did not desire you to return, till I was going to Paris; and from all disagreeable confinement you will be released in two days, as Monsieur D'Alembert then departs."

Distressed, confused, perplexed, Madeline stood silent, irresolute how to act. Her fears, her reason urged her to quit the chateau directly, but her dread of being thought ungrateful, unfeeling, by Madame D'Alembert, if she did do so, almost tempted her to stay.

"Ah! (cried she to herself) how distressing a situation is mine; the fears which make me tremble to stay in the chateau I am bound

 sperms are so tiny that hundreds of them can live in one drop of semen.

As soon as the semen has entered the mother the sperms start swimming toward the egg as it comes from the ovary. The sperm that meets the egg joins it and together the sperm and the egg start growing to be a baby.

This is the way that you began your life. The egg was not you and the sperm was not you. It was when they came together that you became alive. People everywhere begin their lives in this way. Like the fish and the birds and the beasts, we all start to be ourselves when the sperm joins the egg.

Hurt by her silence, by her too evident wish of departing, Madame D'Alembert suddenly wiped away her tears, and while a crimson glow mantled her cheek, exclaimed,

"Against your inclination I will not detain you: no, Madeline, to inclination, not necessity, I must be indebted for your company. I see your reluctance to continue with me, and you are at liberty to depart the moment you please: I own—" and her voice faltered. "I had hoped, I had imagined, but it is no matter, 'tis not the first time I have been disappointed,—disappointed by those on whom my heart placed its tenderest affections, and by those it believed would sincerely return them."

But do you remember ever a request from President Trump for 10,000 troops being conveyed to Speaker Pelosi?

I wouldn't—

It wouldn't make sense given the chain of command that you described, but I'm just asking.

It's possible that the Acting Secretary and the Chairman, Chairman Milley, informed the Speaker of the House that we were authorized up to X. That's certainly possible.

 Had a dagger pierced the bosom of Madeline it could scarcely have given her more pain than did the words of her friend: eager to be reinstated in her good opinion, she forgot those apprehensions which but a moment before had agitated her soul, and determined no longer to persist in desiring to quit the castle.

egg from which you came was one of thousands of eggs in the ovaries of your mother and the sperm from which you came was one of millions of sperms in the testicles of your father. Once each month an egg leaves one of the ovaries of the mother and goes to the uterus. If when it is in the uterus or on its way there a sperm joins it, the two together—egg and sperm—start growing to be a baby. If no sperms have been sent to meet it the egg stays in the uterus for a little while and then passes out through the vagina. It is so tiny that the mother does not even know that it has left her.

You began your life because the sperm found the egg. The moment they joined each other you started growing. You grew very fast. Your shape changed. You began to have a place

title: Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/63


text:
Page:Growing Up (1928).djvu/64

 for your stomach and another place for your heart and lungs. Then the beginnings of your head and arms and legs showed themselves.

At the end of about one month you looked something like a tiny curled up fish. You were still so small that your whole body could have rested on the nail of your mother's little finger; but you kept on growing.

Another month passed. You were now more than an inch tall and you began to look like a little baby.

After four months had passed, your mother felt you stirring in her body. She now knew that you were alive and that after a few more months you would be ready to be born.

While you were doing all this growing you needed food. At first you were fed in somewhat the same way that a chick is fed when it is growing in the shell. Your egg fed you. Only a small part of an egg, called the nucleus, grows. The rest is chiefly food for the growing part. The growing part soaks the food up into itself very much as a sponge or a washcloth soaks up water.

 you doubt my wishing you to do so? Yes, my love, 'tis my wish, my entreaty, my earnest request, that you stay in the castle till I quit it. You shall not continue in your present chamber, I came on purpose to remove you from it, for, to be brief, Monsieur D'Alembert suspects your being in the castle, and may perhaps take it into his head to search it; I am therefore going to conduct you to a place where he will never think of looking for you."

"Oh! Madame, (cried Madeline, and she paused, fearful of again exciting the displeasure of her friend, for she had been on the point of again entreating permission to return to her father) to what place, Madame, (asked she, suddenly recollecting herself) are you going to take me."

"Ask me no questions at present, my love, (said Madame D'Alembert) our security perhaps depends upon our silence; for I know not at this very moment but we may be watched; follow me, therefore, I entreat in silence."

 She now led the way from the chamber, and, preceded by Floretta carrying a light, they stole with trembling steps along the gallery, from whence they descended by the private stairs; opposite to them was a low arched door, which they past through, and proceeded along a dark passage to another flight of steep stone stairs, which seemed to lead to the subterraneous parts of the castle. Here Madeline paused, and entreated to know whither they were taking her.

"Be not alarmed, my love, (said Madame D'Alembert) be assured it is to a place of security."

The stairs were terminated by an iron door fastened by an immense padlock. Floretta laid down the light, and taking down a large rusty key with difficulty unlocked it, slowly opening with a grating noise, that absolutely struck terror into the soul of Madeline; it discovered to her view a black and hideous vault, dripping with damp, and from

 which a cold vapour issued that nearly extinguished the light; at its entrance Madeline again paused.

"Oh! heavens, (cried she, shuddering and leaning against the wall) whither are we going?"

"Ah! Madeline, (said Madame D'Alembert in a supplicating voice) after going so far will you at last disappoint me? Be not alarmed I again repeat; if you wish to confirm my obligations to you do not hesitate now: your life, your safety, are more precious to me than my own, follow therefore without fear, without hesitation, wherever I may lead."

To do so, however, was scarcely in the power of Madeline, and Madame D'Alembert taking her hand, rather drew than led her through a succession of gloomy vaults till they came to a low arched door, fastened by a bolt: Floretta undrew it, and Madeline, to her infinite horror and amazement, found

 After you had used all the food in your egg you were fed by your mother. When your stomach formed, a long tube grew out of it. At the end of this tube was a kind of sponge. This sponge took from your mother the food you needed to help you grow. Perhaps you have noticed a little curled dent, called the navel, in the middle of your body. That is where the tube entered your stomach.

All this time you were living in the uterus of your mother. When you first entered the uterus it was very small, not much bigger than a pear, but as you grew the sides of the uterus stretched to make room for you. Your mother's whole body became larger so that it could take better care of you. Her breasts grew bigger so that they could fill with milk for you to draw from them after your birth.

When you had been growing for nine months you were ready to be born. You were lying in the uterus all curled up like a little kitten asleep. The time had come for you to leave your mother.

The sides of the uterus now stopped stretch-

 ing. Instead they began to push and to squeeze the baby out. Usually the baby lies with its head pointing downward toward the tube called the vagina which leads to the outside of the mother's body. The vagina is narrow but it stretches as the baby enters it. Slowly the baby passes from the uterus and into the world, going out by the same opening through which nine months before the sperm had gone in. Some babies need a whole day or more in which to make this journey and some babies are born in a few minutes. Perhaps your mother will tell you how long you took to be born.

The pushing and the stretching that the body must do to help the baby to leave the uterus uses up the mother's strength. It is hard work for her—the doctors call it labor—but she is glad because she knows her baby is being born. She either goes to a hospital or calls a doctor and a nurse to her home. They take care of her and of the new born baby. The doctor cuts the tube through which the food had been going from the mother into the stomach of the baby, and from now on the baby will feed through its mouth.

 herself in the chapel, beside the grave of her benefactress, and near the spot where she had received her fatal wound.

"Is this (said she, looking round her with terror and dismay) the place of security you said you were bringing me to? 'Tis all but secure; death and destruction hover o'er it. Oh! Madam! (wildly flinging herself at the feet of Madame D'Alembert) I cannot, cannot stay within it, for the murderer here takes his solitary rounds, to plunge his dagger in the heart of innocence and virtue."

"My love, (cried her friend, raising her from the ground) what do you mean? you strike me with horror by your words, you shake my very soul."

The energy of Madame D'Alembert recalled the scattered senses of Madeline, and made her reflect on the imprudence she had been guilty of; she shuddered as she considered she had nearly broken her solemn vow, and been on the point of planting un-

 utterable and unappeasable sorrows in the heart of Madame D'Alembert.—Exerting all her resolution,

"Dear Madame, (said she) I know not what I said; my imagination was disordered by the gloom of the place."

"Surely my love, (said her friend) you could not imagine I would be so cruel as to intend to keep you here: no—to-night, as soon as it is dark, either Floretta or I, accompanied by Lubin, will come to re-conduct you to the castle, where you shall be again put in possession of your own apartment: my reason for bringing you to pass the day here, was to prevent your being seen by Monsieur D'Alembert, who, I will acknowledge, threatened to search the castle; but except he puts that threat in execution to-day, I am confident he never will, as to-morrow he will busy paying visits in the neighbourhood previous to his departure."

 The doctor listened eagerly for the first little cry that you made after you were born for then he knew that you were alive; but your mother and your father were happiest of all, for after having waited nine months for you to grow to be a baby they could now at last see you and hold you in their arms.

 This assurance calmed the agitation of Madeline, and she grew still more composed when Madame D'Alembert declared she would not leave her till the morning was farther advanced.

They now ascended to the dormitory, which, as I have already said, was in an habitable state, and soon discovered a cell for Madeline to sit in, containing the remains of a wooden bedstead. Here Floretta left a small basket of provisions, and she and her lady continued with Madeline till the gloomy shadows of night had nearly fled, they then bade her adieu, and repeated their assurance of coming for her as soon as it grew dark.

Left to herself, the flurry of Madeline's spirits subsided, and she was able calmly to reconsider what was past and to reflect on her present situation; as she did so she bitterly regretted not having insisted on returning immediately to her father; for her longer residence in the castle, exposed her,
