• Suppose two lads, fresh from school, go out into the world to earn their living; one becomes a navvy and one a clerk. In five years' time these two young men will probably be very different in appearance from one another. The navvy will have developed his muscles; he will be broad-built, broad-chested, and strong.
• His proper trade's a navvy; and he works at it sometimes too—for exercise—and earns good money at it.
• But by pretending to believe he's navvied before, I've given him double reason to drive himself hard.
• Before my time of navvying I believe the times were still worse.
• Three terms to use for George Eliot: the feminine imagination and sensibility; Intellect, the capacity for higher navvying; Intelligence.
