"We may not overcome the inevitable," it said, "but it is ours to see that the Inevitable does not overcome us."
Oh, the Inevitable! The Inevitable!
How often I have thought of the Inevitable with despair!
And it has never occurred to me before that one could take it and use it as one pleased. But it seems one can if one knows about it beforehand. It is like Destiny that way. If one is ignorant of one's Destiny, it comes upon one with a surprise. But if one knows beforehand what one's Destiny is to be, one can make onself the master of it. That is where the horoscope comes in handy, you know.
After dipping into Astrology I will never again be afraid of the Inevitable.
As the Letter says: "Every woman with her horoscope before her, and her Soul back of her, should be able to solve any problem and meet any situation that may occur in her life."
Ravenswood Wimble wanted to know, when he met the lady — did I tell you that her professional name is Isis? — what would happen if her Soul was before her and her horoscope back of her. But Isis just simply froze him with a look.
Don't you think that levity is horrid in the midst of vital affairs like that?
But I suppose every little group has someone in it that thinks he or she has to be quippy and facetious at times.
Not but what I have a sense of humor myself.
